comprehensive CAM packages such as MasterCAM14, SolidCAM15,and NX CAM16 include advanced features such as: tool changes, material specification, clamplocation, and other functions. However, these products are much more expensive and are tailoredtowards professional manufacturing.2.1.5 Rotary Spindle ToolThe final component to consider when selecting a desktop CNC machine is the type of rotarytool or spindle that will be used. Spindles can be adapted from several different rotary tools.Considerations when selecting a spindle include: • Alternating Current (AC): Dremel® & rotary tools, routers and derivatives, which are used for small detail work, Cutout tools, used to cut rough holes in sheet rock and ply- wood, and routers

Processes and Product Tooling and Assembly Engineering, andthere is a much stronger emphasis on composites manufacturing. Though these experiences areunique, they will be shown to add support to the recommendation made by Curriculum 2015 thatthe SME four pillars be followed in developing manufacturing engineering curricula. Page 26.393.2IntroductionThe decline of manufacturing in the United States towards the end of the millennium was ofhistoric proportions, with an estimated trade deficit of around $7 trillion dollars between 2000and 2010. Evidence suggests that a turnaround is underway as manufacturing growth has stoodout as one of the bright

content.Advanced Technology in Piezoelectric CeramicsIn addition to ceramic materials and applications, students learn about a fascinatingelectromechanical coupling called piezoelectricity that is being employed and researchedaround the world for varied purposes – often for creative energy harvesting methods,including generator and motor action. The piezo-electric effect is often encountered indaily life. For example, in small gas grill lighters, a lever applies pressure to a piezo-electric ceramic creating an electric field strong enough to produce a spark to ignite thegas. Furthermore, alarm clocks often use a piezo-electric element. When AC voltage isapplied, the piezo-electric material moves at the frequency of the applied voltage and theresulting
