This effort is funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). These curricula will cover the gamut of the needs for manufacturingtechnologists in the aerospace industry and will also provide a common fluency in aerospacemanufacturing procedures, processes, and terminology. The need for a pool of skilled technologyworkers in this industry is highlighted by the aging of the existing workforce and demands forincreased manufacturing efficiency with an increasingly complex product. The civilian andmilitary aerospace industries share some common problems thereby making

The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence. An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gapbetween analytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggestedapproach is implemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the

More manufacturing engineering andmanufacturing technology programs alike have courses in lean manufacturing and six-sigmaquality management as a result. However, the actual impact of these efforts can be realized onlywhen an academic unit’s “product” (students) can deliver it at the workplace. In order to build apositive student learning in the 21st century world, one needs to follow different and moreinnovative and active learning approach in the classroom.

Student teamsdesign a production system for an existing product. The products have been as varied as caststeel flow control valves, printed circuit boards and fishing reels.
