. Page 26.1267.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Project based learning in Manufacturing Processes CourseAbstractIntegration of design and manufacturing is critical in producing successful products and systems.However, there are barriers between design and manufacturing related courses in engineeringeducation. Manufacturing courses provide students with vast amount of technical information.They can only convert this information to knowledge if they use it in real life problems orprojects. Most of the manufacturing courses cannot include such experience into theircurriculum. An attempt to integrate design projects into a Manufacturing Processes course hasbeen studied in this paper.

particular, manufacturing andmechanical engineering students) perceive computer programming as irrelevant to their studies 1,2 . This is not surprising in that computer programming is taught almost exclusively with non-manufacturing examples. To address this problem a programming project was created for afreshman class. The project focused on a tolerance stack with a gap specification. The paperoutlines the tolerance problem, core programming concepts, and the final solution. Theprogramming assignment and a sample solution are provided in the appendices for reuse ormodification for other engineering schools.IntroductionThe freshman year at Grand Valley State University is common for all disciplines: Computer,Electrical, Mechanical, and Product

design-build-test approach throughout their project and were drawn to additivemanufacturing (or rapid prototyping) to help them to reduce the cycle time on each iteration ofthe design-build-test process. Two different technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) andfilm transfer imaging (FTI), were used to additively manufacture these parts, using a StratasysDimension and 3D Systems VFlash respectively. These technologies provided some significantadvantages in producing complex parts for the robot, but it did come with some limitations aswell. Several students started the project with the mainstream notion that additive manufacturingallowed effortless printing of any part you desired from a CAD file.

and understand basic manufacturing topics in the classroom.1 For this reason, it is essential for ME undergraduates to understand how parts and components are manufactured, with the goal of developing better engineers and designers. With the incorporation of several open-‐ended design challenges and hands-‐on projects throughout Field Session, specifically related to manufacturing topics, students begin to learn the following concepts early on in the undergraduate curriculum: 1) proper dimensioning and tolerancing, 2) manufacturing tolerances, 3) material selection 4) automated manufacturing techniques, 5) manual manufacturing techniques, 6) CAD-‐CAM

The motivations for us to work on the project are (1) 3D printing technology asnext industrial revolution has caught wide attention around the world. With the development ofthe technology, a custom part that would previously take a great deal of time and money for aprofessional manufacturer to produce can now be made much quicker at a very low cost.Particular for college engineering education, students can produce different innovative parts fortheir new designs for robots or unmanned aerial vehicles using a self-made

It is expectedthat TTU engineers will go on to be industry leaders, innovative business owners, and successfulentrepreneurs.The goal of the project reported in this paper is to prepare engineering students in three keycomponents of the college strategic plan: 1) leadership in industry, 2) innovation in business, and3) entrepreneurial success in engineering. These components are all being implemented in ajunior level manufacturing course, CNC Machining Practices. This course is an industrialprogramming course for automated machining systems like milling and turning. Students learnand practice coding, simulating, and real machining of industrial parts and components. Thiscourse is a required curricular course for engineering

. Popular certification subjects include project management, manufacturing efficiency, and manufacturing quality. 2The Six Sigma body of knowledge was originally developed by Motorola in 1986 . It addressed manufacturing quality issues by integrating statistical tools with engineering and management practices. The certification process is based on increasingly difficult training and application of the principles. As professionals gain expertise they are awarded levels that include Yellow, Green, Black Belts, eventually earning the the Champion designation.

The workshop was intentionally designed to focus instruction on processesand techniques with a low barrier to entry, i.e. those that don’t required years of practice to gainproficiency, to enable students to complete relatively high-quality work without extensivetraining or prior experience. Toward the end of the workshop we introduce topics related toproduct development including opportunity recognition, conceptual design, sourcing materialsand hardware, and the characteristics of an effective prototype.The workshop concludes with student
