in a Global MarketAbstractManufacturing activities are becoming more global because of the need for manufacturers to becloser either to the sources of raw materials or the markets of the manufactured products or both.Oftentimes, the sources of both raw materials and products markets are located in foreigncountries. Thus, as a consequence of the rapid expansion of global economic activities someuniversities in the United States are now requiring their incoming freshmen to take a course inforeign language before graduation. Therefore, it is appropriate to introduce students in amanufacturing engineering technology program to the tools that they may need to evaluatemanufacturing projects in the global manufacturing market.

These include an addition of two classes focused on the product design process.The first class is an Introduction to Product Design it uses a semester long project to guide thestudents through the product development process. It begins with an idea for a product andproceeds through market analysis, specifications, design and a final prototype. The second classis Advanced Product Design it uses a similar project centered class generally starting at theprototype stage and continuing towards a ready for mass production design. This poster willshow examples of the projects and methodologies used in these two classes

Analysiscourse. The course uses aspects of both project-based and problem-based learning. Project-basedlearning involves assignments that call for students to produce something, such as a process orproduct design. The culmination of the project is normally a written or oral report summarizingwhat was done and what the outcome was. Dym, et al. say that project-based learning hasproduced many innovations in design pedagogy in engineering education.11 Research suggeststhat these kinds of courses appear to improve retention, student satisfaction, diversity, andstudent learning. In problem-based learning, students, usually working in teams, are confrontedwith an ill-structured open ended real-world problem to solve, and take the lead in defining theproblem

In addition, it provides athird opportunity for students to explore the design process and to complete a design and buildproject. For two consecutive years, student groups participated in a modified version of theASME Student Design Competition to fulfill this requirement. Adherence to the formal designprocess was enforced and monitored through intermediate project submissions. The objectives oflearning the design process, electromechanical

True integration occurs at the point where both customization and artificial intelligencemeet, to produce an outcome that saves both time and money.Through the use of API’s (Application Programming Interface) and custom software, trueintegration is closer to becoming a reality. The focus of this project is to develop a customizedsoftware program geared toward small to midsized job-shop companies that cannot afford all-in-one software packages. Software like SolidWorks, FeatureCAM, and Microsoft Office, arecommonly used by such companies and with the aid of API’s, a software

A good grounding in these involves both learning the basic conceptsand applying these in various settings to fabricate parts and tooling. The CAD/CAM option inthe MET program at Western Washington University is designed to do just this. Students aretrained on industry-type CNC machines and utilize these extensively in project work forfabrication. The program is committed to using industry-type equipment as opposed to CNCtrainers for the following reasons: It develops confidence in students on the type of equipment they will encounter in practice. Trainers can convey a false sense of security.

Tothis end, students produced 300 American Standards for Testing and Materials (ASTM) tensileand impact specimens, while examining the variability of process parameters that impact partsquality. In this work, part mass was used as a marker for the entire process being unstable whilevariability of the process parameters was considered as the cause for the process being unstable.Experimental

Ideally, concurrent engineering based processes allow forthe completion of a systems design in the shortest time possible.As with any product development process, implementation of the SPDEP requires thepreliminary establishment of the requirements of the target product.
