IntroductionMost of the automotive companies perform accelerated testing of trucks and cars in extremecondition, driving them on proving ground (Bosch, Ford, Chrysler, etc.). Durability roads usedfor testing the vehicles contain so called surface events, such as inverted bumps, cobblestones,resonance and undulating roads, chatter bumps, sine wave road; in addition there are gravel andcross-country roads1. This setup allow in short time to complete accelerated millageaccumulation testing of the vehicles in worst case
experiment results suggest that online laboratory learning can be substantiallyenhanced by the use of even the simplest form of artificial graphical information and moststudents prefer having an instructor present even the lab is taught online. The implications fromthis study can be used to benefit many schools that begun offering online lab courses.I. Introduction A current trend for manufacturing industry is shorter product life cycle, remotemonitoring/control/diagnosis, product miniaturization, high precision, zero-defect manufacturingand information-integrated distributed production systems for enhanced efficiency and productquality1-6. In tomorrow’s factory, design, manufacturing, quality, and business functions will befully integrated

favored by academics, and practitioners second that opinion. Laboratory andTeamwork also receive special mention. In total these illustrate the importance of education thatincludes exploration in the lab, through projects, and in the workplace. Given the widespreadagreement, the question is not ‘if we should’, but ‘how should we’? Recommendation: Explore new methods for education that involves work in laboratories, projects, and workplaces.8.

feedbacksurvey, “One thing I would like to suggest is that all of the students here are not studyingengineering. So don’t assume we are all the same.” Table 1 shows the disciplines from which therecent semesters’ students came from.Students are also quite different in their prior knowledge of manufacturing. In a mid-termfeedback survey, one student wrote “You may have presented the material too easily to us. We(students) generally need a little more in depth.” In the same feedback survey, other studentsrequested that “Don’t move quite so fast.” Some students have years of working experience inmanufacturing environment, while some have never been on any manufacturing floor. There is alab course, “Manufacturing processes laboratory” (IMSE 251), associated

Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefitfrom this application, enabling the development of skill and knowledge in many differentengineering aspects and processes. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design & manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization. As manufacturing laboratories are very expensive to develop, this project can also beadapted at other institutions that have limited funding to improve manufacturing processfacilities.Background In Drexel University’s School of Technology and Professional Studies, many courses relatedto robotics, design, and materials are offered to the

from the institution and college faculty. With tremendous departmental effort,the faculty developed the new MFET program to replace the obsolete MAFG courses,sought outside funding support for equipment, materials and supplies purchases andbuilding laboratory. Program structure had been established; however, it was not knownby the public. Since the MFET program is new and due to lack of integration between thecounseling and Engineering and Technologies departments, many SDCC counselors werenot even aware that the new MFET program existed. As a result, students were not givenfull options of career choices and were misguided in some cases.Student Recruitment StrategiesRecognizing the problems and challenges faced by the Manufacturing program

Students designed complex geometries and build their partsusing the RP systems. The students also conducted manufacturing experiments to analyze theprocesses and products quality in MECH 310. Through new manufacturing laboratories in thecourse, the students could run various modern manufacturing tools such as CNC machines,machining force monitoring systems, and product quality measurement systems.

technique, which is the silicone molding process. The lean manufacturingprincipals (VSM, 8 wastes, etc) were covered in the classroom and the students usedthem during the hands-on manufacturing laboratory project. The students identifiedwaiting, transportation, and underutilized people as most common wastes during theproduction. After implementing lean manufacturing tools into their existing productionrun, the student teams achieved 127% increase in production output and 30% decrease inmanufacturing cost per a product. Most teams implemented single-piece flow to theproduction layout and assigned the work based on the takt time. In terms of lessonslearned, the lean principals should be instructed thoroughly to the students before the

condition.Even though the Rapid Prototyping Laboratories are equipped with three FDM/FFF (UPrint SE,CubeX, CubeProDuo), two Powder-based (Prometal RXD and Projet 460plus), and one SLA(Projet 1200) printer, maintenance issues and time sharing of the equipment with other coursesincluding the capstone projects reduce the availability of 3D printers. Therefore, multiple newmachines including a Mendelmax and Prusa Mendel were built to utilize in the class. Since theSLA Viper machine was replaced with a Projet 1200, the old but comprehensive software tool of3D Lightyear had to be replaced with new tools used for both processing of the STL files andprinting. These new tools are easier to use but not as comprehensive as the old ones. Thus, a low-cost software

ConclusionsUtilization of AM technologies is continuously increasing in every aspect of the life lately.Although there are a number of professional development activities available in this advancingtechnology, cost and time related concerns make it difficult to attend for anybody who has aninterest to learn the impact of this technology for the classrooms and laboratories. AM-WATCHprovides a hands-on Studio type learning environment for the STEM educators who want toimplement this technology in their classrooms and laboratories. This paper presents the successstories of the AM Studios delivered in Knoxville and Seattle in 2017. Attendees’ grasp of ABETStudent Outcomes and Continues Improvement was an essential part of the

Thirty percent weight was given to this research activity.Students were systematically prepared for taking up the research paper activity. Demonstrationswere organized in the research laboratories in the Chemistry department pertaining to basicpolymer characterization techniques. These techniques include GPC, TGA, and DMA. Threeindustrial visits were organized to expose students to injection molding, extrusion, and carbon-composite manufacturing processes. Students also viewed videos prepared by the ‘Society ofManufacturing Engineers’ in the areas of processing.The instructor suggested a few important research topics. These topics included
