Zuheir. Zuheir has been invaluable to our project of creating a value stream map over our 3 major processes. Originally I planned to complete 2 of the 3 processes using Zuheir. He took direction well, understood the scope of what we were trying to do, and tirelessly collected and constructed the data into the desired format. In doing so, we moved into VSM creation of the 3rd process. This was neither unexpected nor was it anticipated initially as part of the scope of work. We also used Zuheir to evaluate some process improvement steps within the Finish portion of our overall process. It was my intent to expose Zuheir to as much I.E./Manufacturing Engineering type work as possible. After a brief
reduction in the number of operators for the polishingprocess and the extension of the tool life, allows Bent Glass Design Inc. to save cost for each toolreplaced as well as to save the cost for a reduced operator. The company currently uses multipletools to meet the increasing demand of polishing curved edges and is also planning on increasingthe number of tools being designed by the senior design team. We believe that problem-basedlearning, as exemplified by a capstone Senior Design project such as this one, provides studentswith important knowledge about green design. In addition, such projects provide students withthe essential project management and engineering skills required to bring complex projects fromidea to completion.Bibliography1
, and OLP, where roboticprojects can be used to facilitate real world experience for the students and motivate theirinterests in the various topics. Offline programming is the technique of generating a robotprogram with using a real robot machine. This OLP method presents many advantages over theon-line method (Physically use a robot teach pendent to generate a robot program): (1) robotprograms are generated without interruptions of robot operation, (2) removal of the students fromthe potentially dangerous environment, (3) there is a greater possibility for optimization ofsystem layout and the planning of robot motions. We teach our MET students offlineprogramming software to emulate the robot motions, generate program instructions

. PedagogyThe AR-enhanced instruction is modeled after pedagogy developed for 2.008 - Design andManufacturing II at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) using the flippedclassroom model [11]. To provide a contextualized and hands-on learning experience, in eachweekly class, students are presented with a “Challenge” based on a mass-produced object. Thestudents watch pre-recorded videos that explain the fundamental principles of the associatedmanufacturing process that is the focus of the week’s Challenge. In class, products are distributedfully-assembled and students inspect, analyze, and/or disassemble them through the Challenge.The activity leads students through a series of guided questions to draft a feasible process plan,evaluate the

inspectors. Today every inspector has a fourteen-point RF safety checklist to follow for every site that they visit. Current plans for inspectors include implementing a comprehensive training program and equipping them with survey instruments. At the same time that the FCC has been stepping up its enforcement of RF safety issues, there have been developments at the state level. Two states have passed legislation that requires any company operating antenna systems on towers to have an RF safety program. These new regulations are being challenged so their future is uncertain. While these new regulations may yet be rescinded, some authorities believe that these requirements will evolve into national
reasoning including skillssuch as classification, sequencing, planning, and comparison. Creative thinking involves creatingand generating something new or original. It also involves the skills of brainstorming,modification, attribute listing, and originality. The purpose of DFA creative thinking is tostimulate curiosity among students and promote product structure simplification. Bloom'sTaxonomy provides a useful structure in which to categorize DFA learning objects whenassessing student learning outcomes. Asking students to think at higher levels is an excellent wayto stimulate student's thought processes. In DFA learning process, the purpose of writing
