Precision in Focus: Navigating Pallet Positioning Challenges in Aerospace ManufacturingAbstractBackground: Machining centers, such as the Makino MAG3 EX, are essential in aerospacemanufacturing. Precision is at the very core of Aerospace. However, these machinesoften face challenges in meeting stringent flatness constraints due to thermal expansion,tool wear, and setup errors. Failure to address these can lead to deviations that affectcomponent quality and operational safety. Purpose/Hypothesis: This study aims to investigate the causes of flatness inconsistencies on the loadingplatforms of the Makino MAG3 EX and evaluate improvements to reduce thesedeviations. The hypothesis: better

This first course was named “Exploring Engineering Tools of Scientific Discovery(Engineering SciD) in Popular Culture”. In this case, the “Popular Culture” was the movie “TheMartian”, and “The Exploring Engineering Tools of Scientific Discovery” was the tools of spaceexploration that lead us to learn more about our solar systems and corresponded to the NationalAcademy of Engineering Grand Challenge title, “Engineering Tools of Scientific Discovery”.
