As part of this project, a library offunctions is being created and shared to allow others to implement similar productions.IntroductionThe initial goal of this work is to create a visual counterpart to the on-tour performances ofCantus, an a cappella men’s vocal ensemble. The artistic goal of the work is to explore theconnections between sight and sound and to add musically relevant and engaging visuals thatwould react to the singers’ voices in real time.

thoroughly. There is a logical path to befollowed in the realization of the product. The rubric can be most readily illustrated through thefollowing instructions that are issued to students undertaking a project to design a manufacturingsystem for a given product.9 The context is that student teams in a ‘production engineering’class fulfill the learning objectives for the course through a semester-long project. Student teamsdesign a production system for an existing product. The products have been as varied as caststeel flow control valves, printed circuit boards and fishing reels. Integrated into the fabric of theproject, students are challenged to critique the product design to improve manufacturability andreduce cost. The first three stages of

To address these issues, we create laboratory problems, institute engineering coopprograms, and do capstone projects, all to get students exposed to “real world problems”.These are all excellent approaches and should be applied wherever practical.
