The polymer printers includefour low-cost 3D printers, seven modern industrial grade additive manufacturing machines, and ahigh fidelity state-of the art industrial grade additive manufacturing machine. Also included arewax and resin printers and a 3D scanner (see Figure 6). Proposals and plans for a metal 3Dadditive manufacturing machine are in process as well as additional types of 3D printers andscanners. Additional additive manufacturing machines under acquisition phases at the time ofthis publication are discussed later in the paper. In addition to the

anexample, fixed sequences of operations are very efficient when the production is set to themaximum throughput [2]. Due to the rigidity and centralization of their control structures,the traditional industrial robotic systems are not designed to exhibit responsiveness,flexibility, robustness and reconfigurability [3]. This centralized hierarchical organizationcould potentially lead to a situation where the whole system could be shut down by a singlefailure at one point of the system hierarchy [4].3 The Missing Component in Current Robotics EducationReconfigurability and flexibility are two key aspects when designing an industrial roboticsystem.

curves and surfaces started to appear at a very rapid rate. NC machinesequipped to take NC codes from such packages marked the third generation of NCmachines. Traditionally machines were developed for individual processes and hencethere are drilling machines, planning machines, shaping machines, boring machinesand so on. The third generation started to combine the capabilities of some of thesemachines and the machining centers were born. The combination of functions in onemachine gathered momentum resulting in a change in the entire product concept andthe machine architecture itself changed completely to accommodate differentfunctions. This together with advancements in CAD into feature based modelling,gave rise to the fourth generation of NC

Assessment: Meaningful Assessment Evaluation Hansen argues that for assessment to be meaningful, it must assess for understanding. Assessment for understanding “requires careful planning and a variety of assessment approaches” (Hansen, 2011, p. 94). Hansen lists 8 principles for meaningful assessment, again adapted from Wiggins (Wiggins, 1998). Below, Hansen’s 8 principles, applied mostly to LO5, use manufacturing processes to manufacture a part, show how meaningful assessment is accomplished in this course: 1. Use

Then theyneed to connect the MecLab sub-systems and learn about each of the three units: conveyancesystems, feeders, and pick-and-place robots. Students are then challenged with an assignment toproduce two products: a black base with a black cap and the other is a metal (chrome) base witha black cap. They must produce an individual plan with a drawing of the production line layoutusing the conveyance, feeder, and robot sub-systems. Additionally they will provide a 3-5minute presentation of their system to the class. Then a group drawing and presentation

Students also suggest that the selection and assignment of the projects shouldbe in the beginning of the semester because they think more time was needed to complete theprojects. This is because the projects were assigned in the third week of the semester due tologistics required to obtain the projects as well as develop the project plans and form the teams.In addition, the course instructor along with the industry partner needed to identify severalprojects and select the ones that fit the course content and benefit both the students and thecompany.

prevent curing. Therefore, we recommend polyurethane rubber bands and polyethylenegloves. While curing, the surfaces are level so that silicone remains distributed evenly while it isviscous. In cases with shorter class sessions (45 minutes), students should have time to plan,prepare, and pour their molds, letting them cure overnight. We have used toaster ovens asincubators during longer class sessions (90 minutes) to accelerate the cure time allowing studentsto complete multiple fabrication stages during one period. Note that material used in making themolds must be tolerant of 150 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. After the soft robot part is cured,it can be removed from the mold.Inextensible LayerThe bottom layer of the gripper is adhered with
