(IMSE) Day at The University of Texas at El Paso,with a goal of providing students from El Paso - Cd. Juarez region with opportunities to growand develop engineering and leadership skills. Considering the global use of green engineeringand green manufacturing technologies by industries for minimizing environmental impact andincreased resource utilization, IMSE day 2016 was specifically geared towards introducingstudents to new information age technologies and their application in the fields of greenmanufacturing and engineering. The conducted workshops and seminars are based on the theme“Internet of Things” (IOT) to reflect the interdependent nature of manufacturing processes andthe ability of IOT to improve visibility in manufacturing.

As early as 1791Benjamin Franklin understood the need to contribute something of value to society each day withthe question, “What good shall I do today?” This was but one of Franklin’s 13 virtues.

The authors intend to continue using this assessment tool to track studentprogression towards GD&T mastery throughout the curriculum. The data can serve as anindicator of the effects of any system changes (instructor, course activity, prerequisite orsequence, etc.) as well as monitor general improvement or decline in performance.Of course, exam questions are not the only way to assess the effectiveness of the new integratedeffort.

Creating products isthe essense of manufacturing, thus the product realization-based learning seems a natural modelfor learning manufacturing engineering7. Project-based learning (PBL) pedagogy is well acceptedin education8, 9. It is also emphasized as one of the high priority education methods/pedagogiesrequired in manufacturing engineering education10. PBL pedagogy is successfully implementedin a

Thecurrent version of the model was modified somewhat in format from the version described inCurricula 2015 report. The top level diagram (not including specific sub

Students use wax or parchment paper as a work surface (seeFigure 3). A piece of fabric, slightly larger than the finger or gripper, is placed on the worksurface and covered in Ecoflex. The silicone mixture should saturate the fabric (you can help itby spreading forcefully with a plastic knife) and evenly cover the area where the top half of therobot will sit. The top layer of liquid Ecoflex should be deep enough that there is good surfacecontact with the top of the gripper or finger—looking at an angle, the surface should be smoothand reflective, not pocked by

AI is to use neural networktheories to simulate the human thinking processes by computers; to inject the human’s ability toscreening data, provide sound reasoning, to make self-reflection, and self-correction decisions tothe computers. According to TechTarget, artificial intelligence can be broken down into twomain categories: Weak AI (or called Machine Learning category), which is a machine’s ability tobe trained to perform specific tasks. Strong AI (or Deep Learning category) is the machine’sability when equipped with enough cognitive skills, to find solutions to problems on their own.Particular applications
