Utilizing a design that enables a variety of linear motion components to be integratedinto the equipment enables the students to develop an appreciation of the differences inperformance attainable. These considerations are invariably involved in down-selecting anappropriate design for a particular application. Utilizing industry components to implementlinear motion profiles provides a context which facilitates comprehension, is of interest to thestudents and

expertise in well-structured “building block”problems automatically translates into expertise in ill-structured (design) problems is perhaps anopen question, but several leading education researchers challenge this assumption and arguethat direct experience with ill-structured problems throughout the curriculum is necessary inorder to build expertise in activities such as engineering design1-6. We further note that ill-structured problems provide opportunities for students to anticipate topics from subsequentcourses and allow for smooth vertical integration; we adopt this approach here.The incorporation of simulation tools is important for its own sake and as reviewed inPapadopoulos et al. has several prior precedents7.

Henceprocess and structural factors affecting part accuracy in machining processes are quitecomplicated. CNC machine tools only minimizes a small portion of these errors since CNC oftendoes not utilize sensor data to compensate for geometric-thermal errors and errors generated bythe cutting process. Therefore, we must provide our students, through our curriculum, with anadequate level of expertise through new programs, courses and support laboratories.This paper is focused on description of new laboratory modules, teaching materials, practicalexperiments and projects developed as an integrated educational

Similarly the new developments in electronic media are leading toenormous challenges for teachers in regards to the role digital devices can and should play in thelearning process. For some educators, the view is that technology should only be utilized as atool to help facilitate student understanding and mastery of the current curriculum. Whereas forother educators, technology is as fundamental to learning as reading and writing and thereforemust become an integral segment of the school curriculum. The paper also discusses new trendsand teaching methodologies to help improve the state of

After allowing the students to use this framework in classrooms or labs or PBL exercises, the performance metrics of students can be used to evaluate the impact of such visualization systems in studying ET literature.

Although elevenstudents is fairly average for an upper-level materials engineering elective course at UAB, theprogram is necessarily limited in size. This is a perennial problem for global competencyinitiatives: any program involving study abroad reaches only those students who are (1) alreadywilling and able to travel and (2) able to afford the program.
