students with a minimum of resources. Page 23.865.2BackgroundThe community college which is the focus of this study had offered a one year machiningdiploma for many years. A second year was added to complete an associate degree program inTool, Die and Mold Making. The addition of the second year was accomplished in part throughthe addition of a second laboratory space and the addition of a full time instructor, and a part-time evening instructor. The new laboratory space included conventional equipment thatduplicated some of the equipment in the original laboratory, with the addition of CNC EDM, andCNC Wire EDM machines and some computers for CAD

manufacturing laboratory is high and some students might not comprehend the linkamong different processes. This model is popular among community colleges or vocationalschools, but may not be best for engineering students since the latter only need to understand themanufacturing processes rather than acquiring hands-on manufacturing skills.We propose a new manufacturing teaching practice at our university by introducing group cellsand simulated production lines. A group of students is responsible to produce products for thewhole group. After learning and practicing basic machine tool operations in a cell (lathe, mill,sawing machine, and specific manual operations), each subgroup of two students operate amachine tool and produce identical components for

, product design, process design,laboratories, and many others. Below the lintel are the four pillars whose labels are taken fromthe program criteria for ABET accreditation of manufacturing engineering and manufacturingengineering technology programs. (Reference 2) These are: • Materials and manufacturing processes: understanding the behavior and properties of materials as they are altered and influenced by processing in manufacturing • Product, tooling, and assembly engineering: understanding the design of products and the equipment, tooling, and environment necessary for their manufacture • Manufacturing systems and operations: understanding the creation of competitive advantage through manufacturing planning

. There is such a highlevel of confidence in the use of verification techniques, that programs can be directly deployedto CNC machines with little if any operator input2. A similar use of simulation can help mitigatesome of the disadvantages of university CNC laboratories utilizing industry-type CNCequipment as opposed to CNC trainers. If a similar goal to “lights-out machining” can berealized in university labs, then a greater range, and more sophisticated uses of CNC equipmentis possible. This would occur without the need for increases in instructional resources, or the riskof injury and equipment damage. An instructional approach with a heavy component in simulation can better prepare METgraduates for using and advancing this technology in

The adverse health effectscaused by the use of coolants and the potential economic advantages of greenermachining methods are drawing manufacturer’s attention to adapt and developnew methods of using lubricants. Microlubrication serves as an alternative toflood cooling by reducing the volume of cutting fluid used in the machiningprocess. An outline for how to conduct a laboratory experiment usingmicrolubrication and the subject are discussed.Keywords

In total these illustrate the importance of education thatincludes exploration in the lab, through projects, and in the workplace. Given the widespreadagreement, the question is not ‘if we should’, but ‘how should we’? Recommendation: Explore new methods for education that involves work in laboratories, projects, and workplaces.8.

Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefitfrom this application, enabling the development of skill and knowledge in many differentengineering aspects and processes. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design & manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization. As manufacturing laboratories are very expensive to develop, this project can also beadapted at other institutions that have limited funding to improve manufacturing processfacilities.Background In Drexel University’s School of Technology and Professional Studies, many courses relatedto robotics, design, and materials are offered to the

Another reason might be for insurance or compliance purposes. One of themost specified and premier safety testing laboratories is Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
