This new program resulted from transitioning anexisting program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology along with its option in CAD/CAM.This new program accepted its first class of students in 2014 and plans to graduate 24 engineersper year starting in 2017. As part of the development of the curriculum for this new program,faculty in the department focused heavily on the recommendations from the Curriculum 2015initiative conducted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).3-4 Its primary goal was toexamine the state of manufacturing education in the US and to develop a plan for revising andimproving it. Included in the sixteen recommendations were two that encouraged the furtherdevelopment of SME’s Four Pillars of Manufacturing, and its

As a result, Page 26.1229.5cutting location (CL) data based on the geometry model of blade and hub of the impeller weregenerated. Finally, The CL data were confirmed by comparing them with original CAD modelthrough software simulations and later by machining experiments. The results of verificationproved the machining methodology and procedure to be successful [5].Since much of the machining time is consumed in rough cutting to remove unnecessary stockmaterials between impeller blades, Suhaimi et al. argued that 5-axis rough

, demonstratinga competency in an engineering lab requires instructions or a procedure. Based on the procedure, wepredict a certain outcome when procedural steps are performed as prescribed. The outcome of thedemonstration (observation) is compared to prediction (expectation). A noticeable difference betweenobservation and expectation may require revision of the procedure (theory) then applying it again in orderto gain knowledge. A robust methodology for acquiring knowledge is the Deming Cycle of Plan-Do-Study-Act orPDSA. Deming refers to it as the Shewhart Cycle [6]. Figure 4 shows that the PDSA cycle is continuousand thus guarantees the temporal dimension for the theory of knowledge. In other words, knowledge isgained after each cycle and future

Introduction and BackgroundThis paper focuses on the integration of materials technology into the overall field ofmanufacturing. Manufacturing relates to the transformation of materials from one form toanother. In this process, the properties of the materials involved can also be transformed—thatis, the manufacturing process can change the properties of materials. Thus in the materialsselection and manufacturing planning phases of the design process for a product, it is essentialthat

By identifying respondents with their focus among six different types of academic programs, the survey responses provide insights on the differences in relative importance of the large number of topics that make up the manufacturing field. 3. The survey results show that there are meaningful differences among the variety of types of manufacturing programs and that the Four Pillars model is useful in curriculum planning. While not being prescriptive, the model can help educators tailor their programs to meet the needs of the industries served and the career expectations of their graduates.The Four Pillars of Manufacturing

The third generation started to combine the capabilities of some of thesemachines and the machining centers were born. The combination of functions in onemachine gathered momentum resulting in a change in the entire product concept andthe machine architecture itself changed completely to accommodate differentfunctions.

In January 2002, The National Science Foundation chartered a workshop on“Redefining Mechanical Engineering” to explore new possibilities for ME education.Recommendations were made to streamline and update ME curricula by introducing emergingknowledge related to micro/nano technology, product design and realization and etc. andexposing students to computational methods and design practices employed by practicingengineers [2]. To keep up with the national trend in ME education, we plan to implement threetrack areas in the program: (1) Mechatronics; (2) Design and
