in a Global MarketAbstractManufacturing activities are becoming more global because of the need for manufacturers to becloser either to the sources of raw materials or the markets of the manufactured products or both.Oftentimes, the sources of both raw materials and products markets are located in foreigncountries. Thus, as a consequence of the rapid expansion of global economic activities someuniversities in the United States are now requiring their incoming freshmen to take a course inforeign language before graduation. Therefore, it is appropriate to introduce students in amanufacturing engineering technology program to the tools that they may need to evaluatemanufacturing projects in the global manufacturing market.

In this course, students will learn how a mechanical mechanism, includinglinkage and cam-follower mechanism, is working. They will learn how to analyze a mechanismor synthesis of a mechanism to provide a specified task. To enhance their understanding aboutthe mechanism, the project was designed by the instructor for this course. The project has threephases. On phase I, each group, consisting of 4 to 5 students, should select a mechanism todesign. They design the

The students will conduct experiments on creating aCIM environment using computer supervisory control. By conducting a hands-on CIM labproject, students have access to the relatively new technologies associated with computerintegrated manufacturing, which enable them to participate in tomorrow’s rapidly changingtechnologies and become creative problem-solvers and designers. In this project, students designa product that starts with raw materials and continue with fabricating parts, inspecting,assembling, and storing.

It begins with an idea for a product andproceeds through market analysis, specifications, design and a final prototype. The second classis Advanced Product Design it uses a similar project centered class generally starting at theprototype stage and continuing towards a ready for mass production design.
