Over aperiod of seven weeks, the students learned and practiced Six Sigma theory and processes.They followed the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) process toimprove a given design. Six Sigma tools such as Critical to Quality (CTQ), QualityFunction Deployment (QFD), Failure Mode Effects and Analysis (FMEA) and CriticalPath Method (CPM) were introduced to the students. The business aspect of the productdevelopment process was added to the technical design contents to make the project morelike a real world experience for the

From the academic point of view, theseprojects are with the participation of students and, typically, with local industry. Thus resultingin a situation that benefits all the parties involved. The paper presents a couple of projects wherethe use of RP was beneficial for design visualization and verification. Initial and final designs foreach case are presented, with explanation on the modifications performed and the value added bythe use of RP. 1

This paper outlines a gear reducer design project that was created to be intentionallychallenging. This was accomplished by requiring the gear reducer to have concentric shafts,double reduction, standard diametral pitches, and an exact train value that just might be a primenumber. The project is structured around American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA)design procedures for spur gears, and is patterned after a line of commercially available gearreducers having a similar configuration and performance.

. New product development is a multidisciplinary process of systematicallyconverting a concept for satisfying customer needs into a product or service that is ready for themarket. Employers will be looking for graduates to have the skills necessary to join their productcommercialization teams and contribute immediately. Students are also interested in learningrelevant skills and participating in “hands-on” activities. This paper reports preliminary resultsfrom a project that has been developed to allow students to use the same “product” in threecourses of a combined Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology program.Background information on the involved courses and detailed aspects of the individual courseprojects is presented
