ENGR 4801, students are presented with a case study conductedon preserving historical artifacts 14. The case study is about digitization and replication of ahistorical plaster pattern of Robert Morris (Figure 1), one of the founders of the United States ofAmerica. Details of the scanning stages (Figure 2) and engineering solutions developed forsuccessful digitization such as fabrication of a rotary table and its introduction to the Geomagicscanning software are introduced within the study. The three rapid prototyping technologies thatproduced copies of the original piece are also discussed in detail (two of which are shown inFigure 3). Subsequently, the use of Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) molds to castpolyurethane copies is

IntroductionManufacturing has changed drastically in the past years and the manufacturingengineering curricula has also changed. Recently, leaders in manufacturing educationhave been working on the recommended curricula, so called Curricula 2015 [1].According to the paper published in 2009 ASEE conference [1], bio-productmanufacturing was chosen as a new discipline that the educators should focus on. Forbio-product manufacturing or biomanufacturing, a unified definition is definitely lacking.Often, biomanufacturing deals with the production of pharmaceuticals and agriculturalproducts [2], which is mainly a subject under the disciplines of

, France.IntroductionA Rapid Development System (RDS) for a Linear Axis was developed in [1]. A RDS is asoftware environment that allows students to rapidly integrate their controller and analyze it viasimulation, emulation, and implementation. In the simulation mode the student simulates a linearaxis system that includes their controller and detailed models of the interface hardware and linearaxis. In the emulation mode, the simulation is performed on the computer hardware that willimplement the controller. In this mode the student can ensure their algorithm will run in real time(i.e., the algorithm’s execution time is less than the sample period). In the implementation mode,the controller is deployed on the hardware system and experimental data is gathered

This ispronounced even more in this course because the instructor has to choose few experiments and aproject from a wide variety of mechanical engineering applications. The objectives, instructionalactivities and material and the assessments he develops have to be in alignment.

IntroductionManufacturing and mechanical engineering curricula typically include one or more courseswhere the students are introduced to industrially significant, primary manufacturing process suchas casting, rolling, forging, forming, and welding. Such processes are best taught in a hands-onmanner using lab scale equipment or via industrial visits. While such lab activities are importantfor student’s understanding of the subject matter they are both expensive and cumbersome. Inorder that the students achieve the most benefits from hands-on

Literature reviewThe experimental study of temperature rise during machining goes back to around 1900 by F.W. Taylor [1], whodiscovered the relationship between cutting speed and tool life. Since then researchers worked both on analyticaland experimental methods to evaluate temperature rising. Trigger and Chao [2] were the pioneers of usinganalytical methods to predict temperature by taking to account the plastic deformation energy and frictionbetween tool and chips. With the advances in numerical analysis, researchers used finite difference methods(Usui et al. [3] and finite

Manufacturing relates to the transformation of materials from one form toanother. In this process, the properties of the materials involved can also be transformed—thatis, the manufacturing process can change the properties of materials.
