They were impressed with the quick turnaround onparts, in that once the parts were started, they were done within a day or less. Additivemanufacturing also shined in the ability to produce multiple variants of parts to mate withexisting geometry that was difficult

. Similarly, there have been other universitycentered efforts in teaching design and manufacturing principles using electric vehicles. The most significant of these is the Purdue University EV 10Grand Prix , which also began in 2010 as a class offering, but has since expanded into a postsecondary schoolfocused league where any school may register a team and vehicle pursuant to their technical regulations. The projects are of much larger scale: fullsize racing gokart frames and larger teams of student working on vehicles as part of an extracurricular activity or seniorlevel capstone class.

However, within the last few years, the Vision softwareVisloc has become outdated and the cell’s Cognex camera has gone out of commission. Toadd a new vision assignment and a work-cell exercise to the curriculum, a new project wasenvisioned. The project was handled as open-ended and student-driven nature. This projectwas completed by the students to fulfill their university requirement for a three credit ENGR4900
necessary evaluations and/or experimentations, identify and/or proposemeaningful results and solutions, test the proposal to the extent possible, prepare adetailed report, and make a presentation. The ‘front end’ project plan and the ‘back end’documentation and presentation are both important elements. Since the entrance into thecapstone projects follows the completion of other courses, faculty project advisors canassign problems that are not only relevant to the students’ interests but are also helpful inreinforcing the concepts taught. Each class runs for two instructional months. Althoughthe capstone course is done at the end, students are encouraged to identify and select a
crane (emulator) tocontrol the movement of the larger crane. The larger crane is controlled by an NXT brick and the smallcrane is controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. Communication with the NXT brick and theArduino microcontroller is through Bluetooth communication technology. Page 26.1114.22. Candy Crane Design ProjectIt started as a challenge to a group of experienced students, who had worked in the mechatronicstechnology center at the college for two year, on whether they can build a functional CandyCrane one month before the 2012 New York Maker Faire. It was later adopted as one of thedesign projects in a capstone course called
discrete and continuous systems, structured design techniques, memory structures, data handling functions, A/D and D/A converters, data communications, and hierarchical control. The technical issues involved in implementing control schemes are discussed.

Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefit from the application ofsoftware simulation tools and CAD designs, enabling the development of skill and knowledge inmany different engineering aspects and processes.In the United States, undergraduate curricula in Engineering Technology (ET), MechanicalEngineering, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering generally include a course inManufacturing Processes.

As a consequence, thecreation of the engineering programs could be accomplished through additional classes inmathematics, expansion of use of this new material in existing classes, increase in designexperiences in the curriculum, and the expansion of the capstone project experience. The need toadd significant additional new content as new classes was limited to the areas of Design forManufacture and Assembly and Machine Design.

This means moving the MFS online involves creating online equivalents forsignificant interactive team work and activities ranging from laboratory experiments on differentmanufacturing processes, team-based product design with physical products/in softwareplatforms and their assessment to simulating manufacturing system and supply chain operations.To help students master the complex technical concepts and skills and to give them a foundationin creativity and teamwork, these interactive aspects of the coursework are critical.
