A secondary goal of the exhibit is tointroduce children, especially girls, to the types of professions found in these areas so they mayconsider them as future career choices.3 For either of these goals to be attained, the proposedexhibit must accomplish three tasks: (1) attract visitors, (2) motivate them to become engagedwith the exhibit, and (3) facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge, understanding, and attitudesthe exhibit is designed to convey.Exhibit OverviewThe

This will benefit thegrowing medical device industry by bringing qualified engineers with the technical knowledgeand experience in working with medical doctors in the development of innovative medicaldevice products.1. IntroductionResults from several industry surveys and academic studies show that graduating engineers areinadequately prepared for careers in industry 1-3. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers(SME) conducted a survey in the advanced manufacturing sector that identified the competencygaps as project management, specific manufacturing processes, product/process design, problemsolving, communication, and teamwork
2006-17: A FRAMEWORK FOR STUDENT LEARNING IN MANUFACTURINGENGINEERINGDavid Wells, North Dakota State University David L. Wells has been a manufacturing engineer for over four decades, roughly equally divided between industrial and academic employment. He has been Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at North Dakota State University since January 2000. Prior to this appointment, he served in a manufacturing engineering and education post at Focus: HOPE for six years and on the faculty of University of Cincinnati for fifteen years. His early career included some twenty years in research and development, manufacturing engineering and production management in the power
to provide students with ahigh quality and practical advanced manufacturing education that enable them to excel both intheir professional careers and in their continued education. The educational mission of theprogram can thus be summarized as follows: Provide students with a strong foundation in Computer-Aided Design and Computer- Aided Manufacturing. Provide students with a strong foundation in composite manufacturing, inspection, and repair. Provide student with a strong foundation in understanding UAS design process, capabilities and its application for a wide range of uses (business, scientific, and security). Provide students with knowledge and experience in analytical
research allows them to learn about recent discoveries and innovations,share about them in the classroom, and thereby encourage and stimulate students to pursueengineering and computer science careers such as industrial automation. The paper will describeprogram activities, research projects, outcomes, and lessons learned from a National ScienceFoundation-sponsored Research Experiences for Teachers program. Participants were recruitedfrom science, technology, engineering and math departments in high schools and collegesthroughout the U.S. Special effort was made to recruit teachers and instructors from districts andtwo-year colleges with large numbers of underrepresented minority students. Program objectiveswere to 1) provide opportunities for
needed to be successful in Engineering study. As part of this effort, the following tools are highlighted: Winning The First Month; Math Stress Quests; and Semester Project. The above efforts assisted in changing the ‘Foundations of Engineering’ course from a teacher dominated instruction and philosophy course to a more student learning centered, engaging, hands-on, engineering problem solving course that improves student-faculty interaction and student motivation which will better prepare them to have a successful engineering education and career. A survey was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the course redesign.I. Background on Undergraduate Engineering Issues In recent decades engineering schools worldwide are focusing on

The content focus of this project is Math, Science, and CTE (Career and TechnicalEducation) concepts of engineering, 3D modeling, design, programming, simulation, andadditive manufacturing (AM). The content is aligned with the Math, Science, and CTE standardsfor 9th and 10th grades including the embedded student performance standards for engineeringand technology. Additionally, STEM Academy© standards are covered during the professionaldevelopment (PD

To that end, thecreation of cohesive course sequences as an opportunity to implement the reform was identified.Three cohesive course sequences, so called “track”, have been offered to the students. The Designand Manufacturing track provides seven closely-integrated courses to help students learn how toapply engineering fundamentals to practical design and manufacturing problems. The trackcourses include: Engineering Materials, Numerical Analysis, Manufacturing Processes, MachineDesign, Computer-Aided-Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, andManufacturing Systems. The track courses will not only cover

However, skilled engineers who can operate,maintain, design and build such systems are increasingly difficult to find, even though industrialautomation jobs tend to pay well than other professionals [4-6].Hsieh [7] surveyed 150 industry partners on skill sets needed for careers in industrial automation.Of these, 78 responded that their companies employ technicians or engineers who maintainautomated manufacturing systems as part of their job. Of these 78 participants, the majority(about 88%) indicated that their primary market segment/industry includes one of the following:oil & gas, automotive, semiconductor & electronics, energy storage and distribution, metals, ormachine

Many undergraduate students inengineering and engineering technology programs did not come for Career and TechnicalEducation (CTE) programs and often welding career pathway which is available under CTEprograms in many regions is disconnected from engineering technology and engineering careerpathway. Somehow that link in between the making part of engineering and engineeringtechnology was broken after there was a trend to shift engineering programs more towardsengineering science, and engineering technology program more to teaching computer integratedmanufacturing, product lifecycle management, Internet

from a summer research program forundergraduate engineering students. Students were recruited from colleges throughout the U.S.from disciplines such as mechanical, manufacturing, electrical, and biomedical engineering andcomputer science. Special effort was made to recruit students who had limited opportunities toparticipate in research on their home campuses or belonged to groups that are traditionallyunderrepresented in engineering and science. Program objectives were to help participants tounderstand the research process, to acquire laboratory skills, and to be well-positioned forgraduate school and career success. Participants spent 10 weeks working on a research projectwith a mentor and a graduate student. Opinion survey data suggests
