The steps that each ofthese kits focus on are planning, defining the design criteria or success criteria, brainstorming,prototyping, testing, and iterating. Before and after the activity students take a survey thatassesses their understanding of the engineering design process and queries how they wouldallocate time in a similar challenge based on the steps of the design process.We detail the student and faculty experiences and provide preliminary data from our pilotdeployment of these kits. We will provide sample kits for other faculty to take home and solicitsuggestions for adoption in other programs.IntroductionEngineering design is a

Bob had many challenging assignments in the vehicle assembly side of the business on the factory floor in Industrial Engineering, Tooling, Production Supervision and Future Production Planning. His manufacturing expertise lead to assignments in vehicle design bringing real world production concerns and processes into the product engineering activity to design in quality and buildability. Bob’s manufacturing and engineering expertise were also applied during an assignment at Hughes Aircraft on

Third, they were required to write a paper step-by-stepthroughout the summer, including the literature review, conducting the experiments, performingdata analysis, and writing the conclusions. Last, they were required to (1) create a poster tosummarize their work, (2) present their findings at a university-wide poster session, and (3)respond to their peers’ questions about their projects. In addition to working on a researchproject, participants would also attend workshops and field trips related to imaging technology,science and engineering research, and planning

Assessment for understanding “requires careful planning and a variety of assessment approaches” (Hansen, 2011, p. 94). Hansen lists 8 principles for meaningful assessment, again adapted from Wiggins (Wiggins, 1998).

As the WeRMST was to be developed using theprinciples of RMS, it had to be capable of producing a product family. However, the objective ofthe project was the development of the WeRMST, not the product family. Therefore, the designspecifications were concentrated on the WeRMST. After establishment of the designrequirements, there was a need to determine whether a product family should be developed orwhether an existing product family should be adopted. As the result of this decision makingprocess was to design a product family, the design process was then split into two parts. One partof the

dimensional objects quickly and in an intuitive manner. Varioustechnologies are currently available to deliver prototypes quickly1. The mainstream of RPtechnologies uses an additive manufacturing process that accumulates layers of material to forma three-dimensional prototype. This additive process “grows” a prototype directly from bottomup, instead of cutting one out of a solid block of material. As a result, RP does not requirecomplicated process planning or tool selection. Thus it is an excellent tool for students with littlemanufacturing experience to fabricate their designs. Another significant feature of RP, enabledby the layer-adding process, is the capability to perform freeform fabrication. RP is capable ofbuilding almost any geometric

The authors believe that instead of offering standalone nano andmicro technology modules, it was best to integrate them as addendum to existing courses. This isbecause many Industrial engineering students are unfamiliar with these state-of-the-art fields.The approach is to gradually introduce students to nano/micro technology as extensions toexisting advanced manufacturing courses. Further, after sufficient awareness is generated, theauthor plans to introduce standalone courses at both senior (undergraduate) and graduate levels.INEN 324: Computer Aided Design and ManufacturingStudent
