SummaryThe research team was able to successfully automate the lab scale prepreg treater into acontinuous system within the prescribed budget. The treater was qualified through a processingrun that produced 23 feet of prepreg which

A portion of the funding will be used initially toincorporate sustainability concepts in an introductory course titled “Technology Orientation.”The course content development and delivery work has begun in real time.Subsequently, in-depth sustainability principles as discussed in this paper will be integrated intoan existing capstone course “Fundamentals of Products Development and Manufacture.” Thisapproach to integrate sustainability
single course, tointegration of leadership concepts into technical course offerings and other unique expectationsof students to take on leadership projects at their school and report on the experience. It isdifficult to see a generalized theme, but one might assume that a primary focus of the leadershipofferings is based on a belief that a graduating student can lead from any level in his/herorganization. Emphasis is placed on students exploring their own leadership abilities and theways in which they influence group outcomes: interpersonal skills, judgment, moral courage,innovation, sustainability, global collaboration and emotional intelligence appear as key topics,as does the notion of the interrelatedness of ethics and sustainability in a
also reasons for teams to beused in a course: Teams are able to accomplish more than individuals, there is learning betweenmembers on a team, and teams are a way of developing and disseminating a culture. In theclassroom, the culture that should be developed among the students through the use of teams is aculture of collaboration and problem-solving. No amount of lecturing on the value of teams orthe value of collaborative problem solving can replace the learning or experiencing of actuallybeing a part of a team. It should be noted that teams can be formal or informal; for a largesemester project, teams may work together for weeks, but informal teams may develop duringsmall class discussions or class exercises.A potential hazard of using teams

In an attempt tocorrect for past financial centric mistakes Boeing appears to be moving to re-empower theirengineers [64].

The management students, representing finance, could constantlyrequest cost reduction after every design iteration. Initially cost reduction can easily achieved butas the project progresses cost reductions becomes increasingly difficult and real tension couldarises between students

Valuable demos also strengthened thelearning experience.In the near future, the author plans to incorporate the vibratory bowl feeders (under a secondwork-cell – where the students will actually wire the entire cell), and a state-of-the-art machinevision system (in place of an outdated one) into his laboratories. The work-cell will sort screwsdelivered by the feeder. Efforts for this new cell development have already begun.

A new interdisciplinary project funded by NSF has extendedthe development of the board game to create and assess a networked computer game.The game is played using stakeholders in the manufacturing supply chain in the automotiveindustry. In its current non-networked version, six students create a team of three suppliers:materials, parts, and cars. Within this team, two students take on roles for each of the threecompanies in the supply chain. During each round in the game, each company within the supplychain takes its turn to invest and select among different technologies in three areas for eachcompany: production, storage and waste disposal. There are tradeoffs in

These efforts are also beneficial torecruiting into other manufacturing post secondary education.Local Actions to Recruit Manufacturing EngineersThe University of Wisconsin-Stout has developed many actions that are directly or indirectlydesigned to reverse the declining interest in and promote a positive image of manufacturing. Thelocal programs supported and developed include Engineering and Technology Career Days,FIRST LEGO League Regional Tournaments, Project Lead the Way Affiliate, SkillsUSA, andSTEPS (Science, Technology & Engineering Preview Summer Camp) for Girls.
