quality will be upheld in a larger class size environment.6. SummaryTraditional teaching tools for engineering economy have served the students well over the years.However, there is a need to enhance the learning experience based on contemporary students’expectations. It is shown that the case study based teaching approach utilized here incorporatesactive learning and the chosen case studies highlight the applications of theoretical principles toreal-world business problems. Case study-based analysis also enhances communication skills ofthe students. The students found the new case-study based teaching approach challenging as wellas rewarding.References 1. Grose, T.

S. national strategic plan for manufacturing released inFebruary11 and the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership report due in March, manufacturing isbecoming more visible as a priority and becoming more important in engineering and technologyeducation programs. This portends an increase in resources and support for manufacturingresearch, education, and training along with the need for furthering collaboration andpartnerships among all of those whose aim is to enhance manufacturing.Some of the opportunities for contributions include taking up action on items in the tables bothindividually and collectively through groups such

Production Technician (MSSC-CPT) credential was developed bythe same named council and grew out of the US Department of Labor efforts in the1990’s to develop a credential for manufacturing front line or entry level employees. Theskill sets for a CPT are built on the industrial engineering principles and practices forproduction which are common to all manufacturing and production enterprises. Thus, thecredential is portable and applicable to all manufacturing sectors. These foundationalskills and knowledge are bundled into four broad areas common to the manufacturingsector: Manufacturing Processes & Production, Quality Practices and Measurement,Maintenance Awareness, and Safety. The skill sets are also aligned with the USDepartment of Labor

The standard does not require the brake tohappen within any specified timeframe, but the time was collected to help understand how the brake isperforming along with the ability to calculate the acceleration of the brake for Figure 15.

Though laudable and well intentioned,it became apparent in the 80’s and 90’s with the emergence of globalized economies that thependulum had swung too far in this direction and that a correction was needed. ABET’sEngineering Criteria 2000 [2] approved in 1996 and used until recently for accreditingengineering programs, sought to achieve this by balancing the need for outcomes related toengineering problem solving with outcomes that promoted the societal context for engineering.This has resulted in a strong emphasis on introducing and assessing the professional skills intocurricula.

Soon the students discover the problem oftipping over backwards if there is too much power driving the rear wheels. So, how is the topfuel dragster stable? A simple force balance shows the students the point of the long nose of thedragster is to stabilize it as it applies its large torque to the wheels and accelerates. Torque,which had previously been applied to only abstract and obscure systems now answers a specificand visible question in the students’ minds.
