Now, the survey has beenupdated and all programs currently listed on the ABET website have been contacted in early2007. This paper will present the original results of the survey as well as results from the spring2007 survey. Thus the paper helps establish overall national trends for, and, when possible,within manufacturing engineering technology programs. These results provide informationregarding manufacturing engineering technology program health. Thus, inferences are drawnregarding the state of manufacturing engineering technology education across the nation.IntroductionSeveral years ago, the Society of Manufacturing

By the end of theacademic year, students have developed their own various projects using the knowledge theylearned from PLC Programming and Industrial Automation courses. Some of the projects havebeen further advanced as a student research paper published at the college technology dayconference, ASEE regional conferences or the Latin American Caribbean Conference forEngineering and Technology. Moreover, these courses are intended to enhance careeropportunities for the students in Mechatronics Engineering program. Currently some of ourgraduates have chosen their careers in the area of

and Monitoring Test Chips through Manufacturing Processes AbstractCurrent Techniques of diagnostics use expensive laboratory equipment. These costs are leviedupon the patient. Medical costs have increased to astronomical numbers and have crippled theaccessibility to healthcare technology. Simplified miniaturized laboratory processes areconsidered ‘lab on a chip’ medical diagnostics devices. In recent years, microfluidic projectshave proved highly effective in introducing traditional engineering students (electrical,mechanical, and industrial) to clinical diagnostics and the emerging field of point-of- care (POC)tests.

latest productiontechnology. Its popularity in fabricating functional parts in all fields is growing day by day. Therange of 3D printed products is limitless, including glass frames to hearing aids. It is thus importantto train educators and students regarding this cutting-edge technology so that they become familiarwith the functionality and implementation of it in several courses, laboratories, and projects. Thispaper reports several novel developments which have been implemented in the past few years,including details of these unique practices and feedback received from the educators and students.1. IntroductionThis paper will focus on the innovative delivery of 3DP in few different formats under the COVID-19 educational environment faced in
ofvision camera for improving student laboratory activity in automation. This project entailsdesigning, building, and testing a object sorting system that can be programmed to track a movingobject autonomously. Manufacturing processes are becoming more autonomous, requiring lessoperator intervention in daily operations1-3. Industrial robots are good examples of flexibleautomation. Manufacturing engineers need to integrate other technologies with the objective ofextracting from robots the flexibility they can offer. Vision systems have been introduced andimplemented on industrial robots to improve productivity and flexibility of manufacturingsystems. Some typical applications with vision systems are work piece identification, work piecepositioning
diagrams: interpretation skills • Mechanical properties: laboratory experiments on tension test, impact test, hardness, heat treatment • Materials selection: study of common objects and designs – cups and saucers, cutlery, door knobs, skate boards, bicycles, cars, etc. • Failures: fracture generated from different tests Some topics such as phase diagrams and atomic bonding are very important, but theyare complex to teach and not easy for students to understand. Theses, of course, requiremore time, effort and homework problem sets to get the message across. As a result, it isnot always possible to appropriate equal amounts of teaching time and assessment tasksto meet all of the ABET outcomes listed for the course
industry advisory members play a pivotal role in program development, implementation and students’ success. The industry advisory members work closely with faculty members of the engineering and technology department in developing new certificates; new course offerings and development of overall manufacturing curriculum. They reviewed the manufacturing program proposal and provided their valuable feedback and input related to new course offerings, laboratory contents and hands-on skills to prepare students for the manufacturing industries. This group is selected among local and national manufacturing industries (Pavon Manufacturing Group, Composite Prototyping Center, Dassault Systèmes, FormLabs, SciMax Technologies, Cyient, Corning, ADDAPT, and
