As a reference forall phases of planning, controlling and designing of manufacturing industries, by 1955, over65,000 engineering professionals purchased the book. Reflecting strong interest in practical,standard application of engineering principles, the book had subsequent editions published in1959 and 1976. These editions were expanded to reflect the latest in the manufacturing industryseeing the continuing advances and significant diversification of informational needs of themodern manufacturing engineering. Also in 1955, the “Report on Evaluation of EngineeringEducation,” or commonly, “Grinter Report” explained the

The extrusion system worked well, and currently thetwo major problems of this projects are (1) the hydrogel for the stem cell research is not readyand it depends on the work schedule of the medical school; (2) The two needles on the syringesare not usually level in height, so the lower one could scratch the printed material. The reason isthe needle mounting position to the syringe is not fixed. We are planning to use a screw or knobto solve this problem. 8 Figure 8. The modified DIW extrusion system on a RepRap Prusa i3.

For the final course project, each studentdesigned and created his or her own silk scarf using the techniques learned in class.The scarves created by the students were outstanding and exhibited their willingness totry a new design. For example, one student wanted to create the illusion of a branch ofbamboo growing along the length of his scarf. He planned three different colors: abrown foundation representing the dirt, followed by yellow changing gradually to greenand finally blue. He used Shibori techniques to design the bamboo branch, and usedscraps of silk to determine the combination of mordant and dye to yield the shades hedesired.The students kept the scarves they dyed, so photos of them

This uncertainty and limited mode of operation have impacted the team significantly in manyaspects. In spite of these challenges, the team could keep moving forward. Fortunately, this teamhad prior knowledge and experiences relevant to this project. It helped this team make progressand complete the project at the end. However, due to the unexpected and drastic changes in themode of operation, the project scope change was inevitable. Initially, it was planned toimplement 2-axis movements. This

For a manufacturing organization to be world-class, there is a need for an assessment thatdetermines the skills, attitudes and the knowledge required for the employees. A CLOunderstands the strategic plan and the relationship to the strategic plan. Taking an inventory ofthe employee skills presently held, and reviewing those skills, is a task that is to be performed.The difference between what is needed to be world-class is compared to the internal assessment,and the gap is the knowledge area that must be mitigated [17].

of the students from early in the process canprove to be instrumental in the future success of the maker space. As opposed to an “If you buildit, they will come” philosophy, it can prove of use to ask the students for input on the matter inadvance as you may find that there is not as big of a desire for a space as anticipated. That’s notto say that a maker space would not be a good addition to your university just that the type ofspace that the students are looking for could be different then you planned, (sewing machinesand vinyl cutters instead of CNC mills and lathes).The involvement of students also plays a crucial role later on the process once the space hasbecome established in maintaining and expanding your maker space.
