: Integrating cutting-edge design and manufacturing tools into 9th and 10th grade STEM educationAbstractThe Designing the Future (DTF) project targets the 9th and 10th grade STEM teachers and isfocused on curriculum development through project based inquiry using design and modelingtools. The content focus of this project is Math, Science, and CTE (Career and TechnicalEducation) concepts of engineering, 3D modeling, design, programming, simulation, andadditive manufacturing (AM). The content is aligned with the Math, Science, and CTE standardsfor 9th and 10th grades including the embedded student performance standards for engineeringand technology. Additionally, STEM Academy© standards are covered during the professionaldevelopment (PD

Also in this paper authors would showhow they are able to incorporate social and community issues where the students use class roomknowledge and hands on experience to get to solutions, which may be difficult to show in aclassroom setting for a technical subject.The paper will also address how the engineering focus group at the Kentucky GovernorsScholars programs with the manufacturing industry engagement empowers students to: • Apply

from a summer research program forundergraduate engineering students. Students were recruited from colleges throughout the U.S.from disciplines such as mechanical, manufacturing, electrical, and biomedical engineering andcomputer science. Special effort was made to recruit students who had limited opportunities toparticipate in research on their home campuses or belonged to groups that are traditionallyunderrepresented in engineering and science. Program objectives were to help participants tounderstand the research process, to acquire laboratory skills, and to be well-positioned forgraduate school and career success. Participants spent 10 weeks working on a research projectwith a mentor and a graduate student. Opinion survey data suggests

Multiple responses were permitted for those whose careers spanned more than one area to a significant degree.An Application of the Survey ResultsA primary objective of this survey was to identify the topics of highest value to manufacturingcompanies, and also those of significantly lower value. Although it is understood that variousinstitutions and industries will have different priorities, this does offer the opportunity to considerwhich ones might be appropriate for emphasis. Alternatively, those considered less important might bereviewed to see if they represent a disproportionate component of an existing curriculum. If sometopics were to be added or expanded, others may need to be

They continue to build on their foundational domain engineering discipline knowledgeand experience throughout their careers.

It is well known that graduates from many different types of academic programs findproductive careers in the manufacturing engineering function of product-producing industries.All should have at least an awareness-level comprehension of the entire field.Types of Programs Illustrated in this paperThe process of mapping curricula into the Four Pillars model is illustrated with four differenttypes of academic programs: 1. Four-year bachelor degree in manufacturing engineering (Figure 2) 2. Four-year bachelor degree in manufacturing engineering

of the manufacturing field. 2. By identifying respondents with their focus among six different types of academic programs, the survey responses provide insights on the differences in relative importance of the large number of topics that make up the manufacturing field. 3. The survey results show that there are meaningful differences among the variety of types of manufacturing programs and that the Four Pillars model is useful in curriculum planning. While not being prescriptive, the model can help educators tailor their programs to meet the needs of the industries served and the career expectations of their graduates.The Four Pillars of Manufacturing

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

Particularly since it seems that onlinestudents more predominantly have added responsibilities, such as family and careers, that theyare dealing with.Based on the experiences of the instructor in developing and teaching the online section, andfeedback received from online students, the following recommendations are given: • Personalize content within the course so that students have a flavor of who you are as an instructor; this can be accomplished by being actively

Students in this course will choosemajors from four different engineering disciplines – mechanical, electrical, computer, productdesign/manufacturing, and therefore, an introduction to as many disciplines as is practical isdesired. Students participating in the design project also learn that solutions are rarely achievedutilizing only the knowledge base from a single engineering discipline.Finally, no program of study can teach an individual everything they will possibly need to knowduring their professional careers. Therefore, it is crucial for students to develop research skillsthat will allow them to find solutions to problems for which they have little

must satisfy industry uses which demand that thetechnology work correctly when needed. Thus, less time is spent in fixing bugs or limiting use towork around deficiencies in the tool. A broadly used commercial tool such as Vericut®, also hasa rich user and knowledge base that can be tapped to solve problems and to share models andfindings. Finally, students are being exposed to a tool that they will likely encounter again intheir future careers. This is important in the training of technologists, and it is a benefit for themto indicate this experience when they search for work.The Role of CNC Machining in the Curriculum CNC plays a significant role in the curriculums of both the MET and PET programs that areoffered by the ET department.
