However, the students did nothave a focus of cleaning the work space or developing a static work area for future students. Inthe summer of 2009, it was determined by one of the co-authors of this effort that a clearlydefined plan had to be initiated to improve the overall condition of the robotics laboratory. In thesummer students are not using the laboratory for coursework so there was an opportunity. Partof the continuous improvement process included actually upgrading the laboratory space,equipment, and curriculum (in the form of updating the experiments the students would beperforming).

The linchpin is comprehensive understanding of the science of the interactionsbetween tool and workpiece. The production system of the factory is built on this foundation,with all design and operating decisions emanating from fundamental principles of the physicsand chemistry (and more recently, the biology) of materials processing. ManufacturingEngineering is also a design profession, where practitioners are required to make decisions tocreate processing plans and production systems based on both fundamental analysis and the

In a previouspaper [4], the author outlined the utilization of a two-tier teaching plan to effectively dealwith these challenges. In the first tier, called as ‘essential teaching plan’ all of theessential teaching elements were included (class notes, assignments, exams, labexperiments and so on). The second tier, termed the ‘course enrichment plan’, a range ofinnovative ideas were described that are in-tune with the contemporary teaching –learning environment such as multi-media resources. However, it was realized at thattime that perhaps more efforts

The assessment process and evaluation of the program outcomes are discussedalong with the results as well.IntroductionAlthough there are several papers published in the field of engineering program outcomeassessment 1, 2, 3, there are very few that discuss assessment process of manufacturingengineering programs. Most of these assessment plans revolve around certain aspects of theprogram such as courses, capstone courses, or engineering labs. This paper presents anassessment procedure which considers all program outcomes assessment processes.The Manufacturing Engineering (MANE) program at Virginia State University developed acurriculum that provides students with balanced coverage of ABET
