UnitedStates. Rapid technological advances call upon manufacturing industries to evolve and respondto fierce-competing markets, new production paradigms, and data proliferation [1]. As the futureworkforce in manufacturing industries, engineering students need efficient and effective learningschemes to keep up with the technological advancements. A learning factory was developed bythe Pennsylvania State University in 1994 to provide a close-to-industry environment toengineering students [2]. This learning factory involves a college-wide infrastructure to supportindustry-related design projects. Students can be involved in hands-on activities and solve real-world problems in a realistic manufacturing environment. However, some universities may notbe

Since South Korea is aging at the fastest rate among OECD countries, productivitygrowth is vital to maintain its economy. The South Korean government has stated that smartfactories will help maintain its productivity growth; the public and private sectors have set up aplan to increase the number of smart factories to 30,000 by 2025 [15].South Korea is one of the countries that is most exposed to risk from automation. In the midst ofthe global loss of about 20 million, or about 8.5%, manufacturing jobs due to automation, SouthKorea is projected to lose nearly 800,000 jobs over the next decade [16]. Like many

. Motors provide the necessary torque tothe mechanical system, e.g. linear slides, robotic arms or some other actuator design. Motorselection and mechanical design is a critical part of a motion control system, and mostmanufacturers provide a wealth of data and assistance in this process.The motion sensor is a device that captures actual movement and closes the feedback loop to themotion controller. A motion sensor is not always required for such as with stepper motors, but isessential for servo motor control. For this project, a widely used motion sensor called aquadrature encoder was used. It senses the shaft position of the motor and feeds the result to themotion controller. Other feedback devices include potentiometers for analog position
traditional manufacturing processes through the book-making processes. Thisexercise increases an appreciation for manufacturing topics, and helps students understand thecomplex nature of many production processes.IntroductionWhile it is relatively easy to deliver a broad conceptual picture of the manufacturing processes inlectures, accomplishing this is somewhat more challenging in a laboratory environment. Inprevious years, a semester-long project incorporated a number of traditional manufacturingprocesses to produce a working device like a wind vane, a scale, or a desk lamp. However, ittook a whole semester to build such a device; therefore, a “large picture” was not provided to thestudents at the beginning of the semester. Some of the engineering

The higherresolution and bonding method of SLA can produce stronger models, though strength varieswith the type of material used. This printing process necessitates the addition of support sprues Page 26.1113.3to the model; these must be taken into account when designing precision-driven projects suchas keys, as the connection points between the part and the sprues leave small bits of materialthat must be carefully filed away.Materials for SLA machines are more limited in variety than their FFF
, significant effort has been devoted to developing experiments suitable for in-class use. In this approach, the goal has been to use student-centered, hands-onexperiments during regular class time to replace or supplement instructor-centeredpedagogies. Early work by Van Wie et al. involved having student teams put togetherexperiments to learn fluid flow and heat transfer concepts.6 Visco built on this concept,with projects exemplifying engineering concepts built, and then modified and rebuilt bysubsequent student teams over the course of several years. In Visco’s model animportant goal the student-built experiments was compactness, so that each could fiteasily on a classroom desktop.7 Minnerick developed simple and inexpensive heattransfer experiments
