Thesecondary school teacher had approached small business in order to find projects for the studentsthat were related to manufacturing. The students used what they had learned to design a systemfor helping the business with its manufacturing process. The students planned on making aprototype of the system, but

Although students would repeat ademonstration and interact with their instructor, they rarely interact among themselves and oftenmiss the link among different processes. The concept of group cell and all of its advantages canbe applied in academics since students normally practice to fabricate similar components indifferent semesters. This new approach is proposed to replace the traditional manufacturinglaboratory practice. Group cells with different machines are utilized rather than
summer camp time can be in the middle of summer and may disruptthe summer schedule for the whole family. In addition, in the summer, faculty and high-school teachers have their own summer agenda. All of this needs to be discussed andprepared to find the best time for summer camp.ScheduleThe schedule of the summer camp should be planned carefully, especially in the case ofvirtual education. The aim is to keep the student focused on his activities, to make thepresentation clear and complete enough to make it clear and adaptable for all students.Type of studentsOur goal in this summer camp is to focus on minorities and women, as well as low-incomefamilies. At the moment, we are focusing on high school. The involvement of middle schoolstudents was
top heavy and would ruin the integrity when the motors and blocks would move. Therefore, re- engineering these blocks to what would have been a great help in the process. Overall this project was helpful in learning new processes, thinking outside of the box, and problem solving. I had a great experience completing this project and have future plans to make the modular pieces self-configuring with sensors and other new technology. • Team Member #2: This project was very helpful for learning how industrial robots work. At the beginning, I spent time doing research about industrial robots which were SCARA, articulated, spherical, cylindrical, Cartesian, and parallel robot type. Each robot

The AALD environment isdescribed in detail in the Activities section of this report and will be evaluated in the next year ofthis project, both by students for instructional effectiveness and by expert system integrationengineers for fidelity and accuracy.Future DirectionsPossible future directions include: • Continued analysis of the interview and think-aloud data that we have collected thus far. Although the data collection conditions were less than ideal, the interview data are very detailed and provide a rich source of information about the system integration industry. We plan to analyze data from the airline passenger seat and truck frame assembly line design exercises to

Some offer apps that include conceptsrelated to programming and controls, such as block programming, which can be found in toyslike Kamigami robots [37], and trajectory planning, which can be found in toys like the Spherorobot. Some toys include advanced vision capabilities [38] and an interactive learningenvironment, such as the Cozmo robot. The Cozmo robot (shown in Figure 1) is an autonomousrobot that is shaped like a truck [39]. It integrates computer vision capabilities with artificialintelligence algorithms [40]. Children can interact with it and see how the robot can readinformation from the objects in its proximity, which is important for various applications inmaterial tracking. It also has vision recognition capabilities that are

Additionally, we are planning to bring in other state-‐of-‐the-‐art equipment for student use including a water jet, new lathes and an upgraded quality control table and equipment. Conclusions This paper presents an overview of the Mechanical Engineering Field Session experience, specifically related to manufacturing and design. This open-‐ended experience for students is a unique opportunity for students to jump into several open-‐ended design problems and work on a team of fellow peer students.

Since green energy manufacturing is defined as “a system that integratesproduct and process design issues with issues of manufacturing planning and control in such amanner as to identify, quantify, assess, and manage the flow of environmental waste in materialsand energy with the goal of reducing and ultimately minimizing environmental impact whilemaximizing resource efficiency,” increased environmental consciousness among manufacturingindustries helps to foster new techniques for streamlining processes and increased reusability [1-4].

time frames between ninety minutes5, 10-12 and one day1, 13.Regardless of the time frame, all authors cited here employ repetition as a tool to highlight thedifference between non-Lean production and Lean production. The shorter time frames allowfor just two or three rounds to be used as a basis of comparison. For example, the exercisedescribed by Billington6 uses three rounds (push, pull with lot size = 3, pull with single-pieceflow) to demonstrate to students how Lean can reduce work-in-process (WIP). An advantage formultiple sessions, though, is that it provides the students with time to reflect on the events of aprevious exercise and plan for the next. The added time permits a less-structured exercise, asstudents are able to develop their

This also provides a necessary connection in children’s mind betweenconsumer products and processes that bring these products into existence. It has been suggestedthat this design extends the straightforward appearance of an interactive exhibit accessible byonly a computer screen and a mouse on a table. The screen is embedded into the “coffee mug,”and the game can be played
through using(1) the Tutor System and (2) the RP Simulator. Particularly, we are interested in exploring if anon-traditional instruction approach through the Tutor System and the RP Simulator cancompete with and/or substitute to the traditional method (i.e., a face-to-face class). There are twomajor activities in our data collection plan. First, for effectiveness of the use of the tutor system,the instructor used Adobe Captivate® 5 to develop and demonstrate the use of the medicalmodeling software called Mimics® then saved it as a Captivate file (i.e. .wsf). Then, it wasuploaded in the tutor system to allow students to download it. Basically, there are two groupsunder this activity – Control Group/Group A (i.e., using face-to-face instruction

The motivation for this project came from the desire to build supportingtechnical capability. Following the identification by Frank [4] the first task carried out by thestudents was to visit a local hospital, learn the operating table in use and conduct a designinterpretation. This provided the level of knowledge required to embark on the design task.Though identifying clinical, health care staff, legal and the company requirements arefundamental in the planning stage this work was restricted to obtaining the requirements ofthe healthcare staff due to time constraints.

The protocols put in place were directlyinfluenced by both the CDC guidelines [3-4] at the time of writing (August 2020), as well asNJIT’s COVID protocols for students, faculty, and staff in laboratory spaces [5]. In the creationof this protocol, the floor plan of the space and the user experience at each “station” wasconsidered. General behavioral rules were put into place for all individuals in the space that wereinformed by both CDC COVID-19 guidelines and NJIT’s COVID-19 protocols.

Percent utilization is the actual amount of productive machine time(uptime) divided by the optimal amount time available for a given machine. This fundamentalmanufacturing concept can be more readily understood by students within a hands-on, activelearning environment [16]. Students can easily understand the numerous reasons for lower than100% utilization: preventative maintenance, machine set up and adjustments [17].
