Page 23.802.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013Interdisciplinary Senior Design Project to Develop a Teaching Tool: Mini CNC MillAbstractThe desired current set of skills required of modern engineers and technologists has been steadilyexpanding. In addition to familiarity with manual machining and fabrication techniques
learn from the core tenants of engineering.In this paper, we discuss a game developed in a Maker Space designed to embody the ideas ofbroadening contexts and participation in engineering. The goals of this game is to showcase thehumanistic side of engineering by facilitating a thought experiment how human motivation andinterest can be used to solve our society’s problems. Staying true to the aforementioned aspectsof making (i.e. learning and expression) players of the game would get to learn about differentaspects of engineering, and at the same time be able to color their end products with theirpersonal expressions.All players will work with a game kit which allows them to create a story of how an engineerwould use an engineering habit of mind
electronicdevices that need extreme accuracy and are now able to be much smaller. Engineers are able todesign smaller less expensive and more effective devices thanks to the advancements inpiezoelectric motors. The world’s energy crisis has not been solved, but there is a push for thegreatest minds and the next generations to find a way to reduce our dependence on fossil fuelsand rely more heavily on clean renewable energy. Numerous research applications are currentlyusing piezoelectric materials in an effort to harvest energy in nature through wind6 andmechanical vibrations that are overlooked daily. Maybe one day in the future you will bepowering your devices from the “good vibrations” we create by walking, running, driving, ridingthe subways, and even
processes, we can prevent more errors.ConclusionsBased on the literature survey, and the experiences from the authors including the projectspresented in this paper, it is clear that engineering education has a fair share of critical thinkingcontent. However, there is a lack in addressing the subject in manufacturing education as well asutilizing the tools for gathering information, organizing and presenting it, along withidentification of what is taking place – analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. With this in mind, aproject-based manufacturing product design course relating not only to the engineering designand to development process, but also to critical thinking and its critical pieces need to bedeveloped. This course will also have strong

The Scholars oftoday are most definitely the leaders of tomorrow, in whatever we may choose to do with ourlife. The Program is somewhat “nontraditional”. Focus is on “opening the mind,” not justproviding facts. Minds are stretched and expanded. Faculty develops their own curriculum andcourse content based on the overall structure that GSP is built on.

As one Page 11.193.9endeavors to expose the students to the mind-boggling array of conventional and modernmaterials at atomic levels to bulk structural levels, their intrinsic and extrinsic properties,their eco-economic impact, etc., it becomes a juggling act to give justice to the multi-dimensional aspects of materials education. In addition, the expectations of the variousstakeholders in the teaching – learning transaction are different and it is necessary toaddress their needs. Simultaneously, it is

It is important to encourage students to learn to use suchkind of software packages that work with renewable energy systems. Because by taking theadvantage of such tools students can learn and adapt better solutions to fix the energy problemissues. It is is important to keep in mind that how we are using the energy today will shape theway how we live in the future.References1.
