, the department aims to incorporate the treater into the curriculum, either as a means ofdemonstrating the prepregging process, or as a hands-on laboratory activity. As a result of thetreater’s intentional design flexibility, the processing parameters can easily be manipulated forthis wider range of uses.2. Development of Treater2.1 DesignAlthough both methods of prepreg production are industrially relevant, the research team choseto build a solvent-based treater in order to mimic the manufacturing conditions of the large-scaleaerospace manufacturer that the team has been working with. The lab-scale treater, dubbed theEasy-Preg Treater, can be broken down to four main components, illustrated in Figure 1. Thebath component houses fabric supply
? Schoolbudgets may present an obstacle for providing state-of-the art “hands on experiences” using equipment in theclassroom, a problem that has contributed to the technology and engineering gap in secondary technology education.Current models for incorporating technology into the classroom have high schools working in partnership withbusinesses and community and state colleges for laboratory resource sharing, dual enrollment for technologystudents, and partnerships with vendors (Boyette, Batton & Barger, 2014). Mentors from local companies providetechnical acumen and explanations of how robots are used in industries such as manufacturing, and continue toprovide encouragement for students seeking to enter technical fields upon graduation (Jackson

Additionally, the project instilled anew level of confidence in my ability to work independently, communicate with a projectmanager, and ultimately formulate an industry relevant process while gaining significantengineering knowledge and skills. This confidence and its corresponding skills helped me to landa product design engineering internship with a medical device company, developing tissuesimulating, multimodality phantoms for the medical imaging industry.Professor’s ReflectionThis study is a good example for a student driven project. It can also be seen as a project with afacilitation component.The student was presented laboratory capabilities, a set of Geomagic Tutorials andsupplementing data after a

Also, in the past 10 years she gained experience in teaching ME and ET courses in both quality control and quality assurance areas as well as in thermal-fluid, energy conversion and mechanical areas from various levels of instruction and addressed to a broad spectrum of students, from freshmen to seniors, from high school graduates to adult learners. She also has extended experience in curriculum development.

. Social commentators [e.g. 1)] havehighlighted the need for businesses to succeed in a global environment and as such theeducation system must attempt to create engineers with global perspectives. There areseveral solutions to achieve this objective such as internships, co-op programs, studentexchange programs, laboratory-intensive classes and the ever-popular Capstone SeniorDesign Project. This last and the most important topic of integrated design has beenreviewed 2, 3) and discussed extensively in literature and engineering educationconferences. There is considerable variability in the scope; breadth and depth of thesecapstone projects, the team size and composition and the time, and sponsors and budgetfor the projects.

Manufacturing competitiveness requires understanding the creation ofcompetitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy and control. While the firstfour requirements are primarily about things, the competitiveness requirement is all aboutpeople. To fulfill this requirement, students need to understand and exercise leadership. Wemanage things, but we lead people.Manufacturing planning, strategy and control are elements of management, but leadership goesfar beyond this. Thinking of these requirements in terms of just management is of another era; asan old saying goes, it is

deeper learning regardless of theprefered learning style (type) of the learner. Laboratory experiments and other experientiallearning activities [4-6] are well recognized parts of Kolb’s learning cycle.Creating products is the primary function of any manufacturing establishment. Product realization-based learning seems to be a natural model for learning manufacturing engineering [7]. Theproduct realization-based learning can be understood as a part of the project-based learning (PBL)pedagogy which is well accepted in education [8, 9]. PBL is also emphasized as one of the priorityeducational methods in manufacturing engineering [10] and industrial engineering education [11].PBL pedagogy is already successfully implemented in some manufacturing
software was placed on all classroom and computer laboratory computers and used extensively on student projects and classroom demonstrations. Also, the four core project management courses utilize the same set of primary textbooks, thereby saving students a significant amount of money and enabling the faculty to coordinate and collaborate on course content.ImplicationsAlthough funding is currently very tight for academic institutions, there is a path to grow newprograms and establish new departments that align with the needs and interests of students andemployers. The Citadel’s MSPM and the Department of Engineering Leadership and ProgramManagement were built with one tenured faculty member, one visiting professor, and liberal useof
science, communications, and the many aspects ofpersonal effectiveness.The four pillars are capped with the titles shown above for the four major proficiencies expectedof graduates of manufacturing programs. Within the four pillars, the ten major subject areasmentioned earlier are arrayed to give more detail to the content included in academic degreeprograms. The lintel spanning the pillars emphasizes that laboratory experiences, quality,continuous improvement, and problem analysis pervade the manufacturing engineering field andintegrate its various facets.Below the titles of the major subject areas are lists for the detailed topics that make up thecontent of the programs. This list forms the basis for SME certification exams for
