One of the selling points forthis type of project is that rather than develop interesting but trivial engineering solutions thestudents can develop software to solve a real-world program and provide an invaluable tool forundergraduate education.For the project a group of students committed to the project as CSET curriculum requires ayearlong junior project. The team project will be to create user-friendly services and a GUI(Graphical User Interface) which will be able to control the entire work cell through MSRS.In keeping our work within MSRS and Solidworks we are able to utilize the projects from allthree teams of undergraduate students in building a complete and functional work cell withintegrated parts delivery system.

antenna. For example, the alternating movement of charge (i.e., thecurrent) in an antenna used by a radio or television broadcast station or in a cellular base stationantenna generates electromagnetic waves that radiate away from the "transmit" antenna and arethen intercepted by a "receive" antenna such as a rooftop TV antenna, car radio antenna or anantenna integrated into a hand-held device such as a cellular telephone. The term"electromagnetic field" is used to indicate the presence of electromagnetic energy at a givenlocation. The RF field can be described in terms of the electric and/or magnetic field strength atthat location.Electromagnetic waves can be characterized by a wavelength and a frequency.

, curriculum development, as an example, is a highly specializedfunction, it cannot be done effectively without some consideration for the individual course, orcourses, that it will comprise. Additionally, the key direction in the design of a curriculum at theuniversity level is the planned discipline of study of individual students. Conversely, at thebusiness enterprise level, a curriculum is tied to the organization’s strategies and operating plans;each strategy and operating plan must be assessed in order to identify the performance requiredof employees.This section of this paper describes how the University of Kentucky college of engineeringcurriculum in lean manufacturing was developed as an integrated series of course offerings forundergraduate

Students havebeen exposed extensively through formal course material covering 3D printing technology andwould be familiar with the operation of 3D printers in general. Therefore, it was reasoned afamiliarity with the project goal of designing and constructing a self-replicating 3D printer wouldgive students more confidence in tackling the difficult task of managing an extended project overboth the design and manufacture phases, and mastering
encountered therein are foreign tomost young people. As engineers, it is crucial that these skills be developed. Therefore, designchallenges should be utilized as early in the curriculum and as frequently as possible.Caution should be used when determining if any problem, including the design competition issuitable to the learning objectives of the course in which it is introduced. The Energy Relayallowed some students to avoid integrating knowledge from various fields of engineering in theirdesigns. As this was an objective of the course, this was an unforeseen consequence of choosingthe design competition as a basis for the culminating design experience in the course.All of the six stated goals for the project could have been met using any project

time frames between ninety minutes5, 10-12 and one day1, 13.Regardless of the time frame, all authors cited here employ repetition as a tool to highlight thedifference between non-Lean production and Lean production. The shorter time frames allowfor just two or three rounds to be used as a basis of comparison. For example, the exercisedescribed by Billington6 uses three rounds (push, pull with lot size = 3, pull with single-pieceflow) to demonstrate to students how Lean can reduce work-in-process (WIP). An advantage formultiple sessions, though, is that it provides the students with time to reflect on the events of aprevious exercise and plan for the next. The added time permits a less-structured exercise, asstudents are able to develop their
