forced to resort to other high-costalternatives, such as stocking critical items themselves or planning for rapid import of neededgoods from some other region. Recent events such as the Katrina flooding in New Orleans andthe earthquake relief efforts in Haiti have underscored the importance of local regions becomingself-sufficient (at least for a few days) and have highlighted the incredible costs of flying in largequantities of goods (e.g., bottled water) to a hard-hit region.Most communities, however, do have considerable local manufacturing capacity. Although thetrend of shifting production overseas has diminished the base of producers in the United States,there is still tremendous capacity and most cities have a number of fabricators of

Below the lintel are the four pillars whose labels are taken fromthe program criteria for ABET accreditation of manufacturing engineering and manufacturingengineering technology programs. (Reference 2) These are: • Materials and manufacturing processes: understanding the behavior and properties of materials as they are altered and influenced by processing in manufacturing • Product, tooling, and assembly engineering: understanding the design of products and the equipment, tooling, and environment necessary for their manufacture • Manufacturing systems and operations: understanding the creation of competitive advantage through manufacturing planning

Manufacturing competitiveness requires understanding the creation ofcompetitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy and control. While the firstfour requirements are primarily about things, the competitiveness requirement is all aboutpeople. To fulfill this requirement, students need to understand and exercise leadership. Wemanage things, but we lead people.Manufacturing planning, strategy and control are elements of management, but leadership goesfar beyond this.

MAI is an instrument designed to assess general self-regulated learning skills. Theinstrument has 52 items that are classified by type of cognitive knowledge: declarative (DK),procedural (PK), and conditional (CK); or by specific metacognitive process: planning (P),information management strategies (IMS), monitoring (M), debugging strategies (DS), andevaluation (E).

This course introduces project management skills via a curriculumemploying project-based learning. These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are

This study discusses the assessment of metacognitive skills in engineering students byhaving the students participate in hands-on and virtual reality activities related to design andmanufacturing. The study is guided by two research questions: (1) do the proposed activities affectstudents’ metacognition in terms of monitoring, awareness, planning, self-checking, or strategyselection, and (2) are there other components of metacognition that are affected by the design andmanufacturing activities? The hypothesis is that the participation in the proposed activities willimprove problem-solving skills and metacognitive awareness of the
