As part of a larger project, we aredeveloping a suite of surface characterization methods appropriate for STEMeducational purposes. Surface characterization of materials ordevices/components in various stages of production is a useful and instructiveeducational project for engineering students because of its importance to a widevariety of

Roughly 41%of US manufacturing executives plan to hire in the coming year. However, the required skill setshave shifted to be more software and high tech-oriented. There is great opportunity for peoplewilling to learn injection mold making and tool making.ObjectivesThe paper describes the process of retrofitting a manual injection molding machine to beautomated and remotely accessible, and assessing students’ response to the technology.

Application with the Metric SystemHistorically, the design project in the freshman technical graphics course had always been donein the inch system and very little emphasis was placed on the metric system and ANSI B4.2.Without getting into the controversy of adoption of the metric system and “which” metric systemto adopt, suffice it to say that when we attend a meeting of international manufacturers, thestandard language is English and the standard measurement system is the metric system. It isbased upon this rationale that we elected to use the metric system and ANSI B4.2 as the basis forthe design project.As stated above, ANSI B4.2 broadened the definition of “hole” and “shaft” as provided in ANSIB4.1 to include other mating shapes.
