-BasedLearning approach to integrating entrepreneurship into an upper-level undergraduatemanufacturing course entitled Machining Theory and Applications that was taught by the authorof this paper at Utah State University. The students in the class were divided into six teamsworking on a variety of projects. Each project included three tasks: developing a computersoftware program for machining simulations, developing the associated business plan, andwriting the business plan and orally presenting the project results. A representative example ofstudent projects and associated business plans is provided in the paper. The students‟ attitudestoward and experiences with their projects were surveyed using a Likert-type and open-endedquestionnaire at the end of

-Based Graduate Course in Advanced Quality ToolsAbstractThis paper examines in detail the development of a graduate-level ManufacturingEngineering Technology course in advanced quality tools. All areas of modern industryhave adopted a standardized set of tools and methods used in designing processes andcommunicating their performance. These cover a wide range of individual tools, fromProcess Failure Mode Effect Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plans through the AdvancedProduct Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) totechniques such as 8 (or 9) Disciplines (8D or 9D) and related tools. These, combinedwith project management elements defined by the Six Sigma methodology such asDefine

forced to resort to other high-costalternatives, such as stocking critical items themselves or planning for rapid import of neededgoods from some other region. Recent events such as the Katrina flooding in New Orleans andthe earthquake relief efforts in Haiti have underscored the importance of local regions becomingself-sufficient (at least for a few days) and have highlighted the incredible costs of flying in largequantities of goods (e.g., bottled water) to a hard-hit region.Most communities, however, do have considerable local manufacturing capacity. Although thetrend of shifting production overseas has diminished the base of producers in the United States,there is still tremendous capacity and most cities have a number of fabricators of

Manufacturing competitiveness requires understanding the creation ofcompetitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy and control. While the firstfour requirements are primarily about things, the competitiveness requirement is all aboutpeople. To fulfill this requirement, students need to understand and exercise leadership. Wemanage things, but we lead people.Manufacturing planning, strategy and control are elements of management, but leadership goesfar beyond this. Thinking of these requirements in terms of just management is of another era; asan old saying goes, it is

However, the students did nothave a focus of cleaning the work space or developing a static work area for future students. Inthe summer of 2009, it was determined by one of the co-authors of this effort that a clearlydefined plan had to be initiated to improve the overall condition of the robotics laboratory. In thesummer students are not using the laboratory for coursework so there was an opportunity. Partof the continuous improvement process included actually upgrading the laboratory space,equipment, and curriculum (in the form of updating the experiments the students would beperforming). In essence, the physical laboratory

The course syllabus comprises topicsmainly on machining and CNC. At Drexel University (DU), all the students in theEngineering Technology Program learn the basics of machining, Computer Aided Designand Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), dimensioning and tolerancing, and statistical processmeasurement in a CNC course. In machining process planning, selection of machine toolsand process tolerances is critical as they directly affect the part quality and the machiningtime. An optimum process

The experienceis challenging, but seems positive and has been well-received by students (some have evenbrought their parents to see their projects). Future plans include combining multiple models toform a large scale system and creating an on-line documentation system so that teams can blogabout their learning experience throughout the project development stage. We also plan toconduct experiments using smart phones for remote control of systems to evaluate how thisaffects students’ designs and

through November 6, 2010. Whilevisiting three Chinese cities, Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, the delegates visited four Chineseuniversities with strong engineering and engineering technician programs. A separate meetingwas held at the start of the trip with five representatives of the Chinese Society for EngineeringEducation who provided useful information on the status, plans, and larger issues facingengineering education in China. This paper provides a summary of that trip and offersobservations that may be useful to engineering educators in the United States and other parts ofNorth America. It was found that, in the last decade, the number of students in engineering andtechnician education programs in China has grown dramatically

. Additionally, in a relatively dense network scenario, the maximum aggregatethroughput of 3 times 7.11/30.8 Mbps is likely to be seriously impaired. To aid the WLANperformance on a factory floor, it is thus advisable to take the following two measures: applymeans to combat the increased delay spread (in case of IEEE 802.11b) and (for all IEEE 802.11systems) carefully plan the frequency layout and access point placement.The newly emerging ZigBee technology has been designed specifically for sensor data andcontrol information at low data rates. ZigBee supports long battery lives. Nothing can be said yetabout the robustness and effectiveness of ZigBee. Yet for low-bit-rate applications in industrialenvironments, ZigBee seems to be a promising approach

to use the floor spaceoccupied by the cost center if the common cost to be allocated is utilities, which is fairlyproportionate to the floor space occupied by the equipment.To do this, we look at the layout of the shop which is shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 shows how thetotal utility costs are allocated to each cost center or equipment based on the area occupied. Thetotal cost of maintaining the equipment is the total of the allocated utility cost plus the mortgagecost for each piece cost center as shown in Figure 8. To correctly allocate the total costs based onthe hours for which the facility is planned, we need to have come up with an estimate on the Taktrequirement for each cost center or piece of equipment, which is shown in Figure 9.Next
