quiz administered after activity four were inconsistent and itis difficult to generalize beyond what has already been discussed.ConclusionsThe assessment instrument was found to be very poor at discriminating between the relativemerits of the different activities. The author strongly feels that there was significant growth ofthe students’ R&R knowledge and capabilities from activity to activity, but it is not apparentfrom the assessment tools that were used. Further development and refinement of the author’simplemented assessment tools are required.Bibliography1.

1Evaluation FindingsThe External Project Evaluator designed a retrospective pretest survey instrument to assessseveral aspects of the workshops including satisfaction with the overall workshop logistics,content, delivery methods, and the effectiveness of the workshops. The instruments also hadsections which assessed specific workshop objectives, and participants were asked to rate theirperceived improvement on (i) their level of understanding of AM or SM concepts, (ii)proficiency level on a number of skills demonstrated during the workshop, (iii) the extent towhich they felt the workshop objectives had been met, and (iv) the relevance of the content totheir work. The instrument(s) contained both closed-ended and open-ended questions.All workshop

Some common imageprocessing operations include blurring, zooming, edge detection, face recognition, cropping, andmirroring.Digital image processing starts with how all humans visualize the world. We can categorizeimage processing in two parts, analog image processing and digital image processing. Analog Image Processing. Analog image processing deals with analog signals in a varying electrical signal. It takes place in a two dimensional analog signal. Traditional television image is an example of an analog image processing
software, further optimization is required by doing a series of testruns.Even for small-manufacturing runs, this approach can be applied. The performance baselinesmake a very good starting point to help use the machine’s capabilities fully. A well-plannedapplication of HPM can see a 50% or better cycle time reduction, increasing the manufacturingthroughput by a factor of two. The time expended in applying HSM methodologies pays offalmost immediately, since the performance gains can be applied to manufacturing processes forboth existing and new parts.Bibliography1.

The learning environment of the AFL is essentially studentshelping students, supervised by a staff member for safety. It utilizes an approach that is similar tothe Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development model (Vygotsky, 1962), where students areallowed to work with equipment to the point where they are uncomfortable/unfamiliar and needhelp. This means that a beginner who has never set foot inside a manufacturing lab is as welcomeas an expert who can operate equipment with minimal assistance, and each student
cycles are undertaken with accumulated knowledge. Such knowledgecan be gained through experimentation. The purpose of experimentation is to gain the knowledge aboutreducing and controlling variation in the process or the product by determining which process factor(s)significantly impact the outcome [7]. Figure 4: Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycle For experiments to be run and analyzed efficiently, a scientific approach in planning must befollowed [D]. While one-factor-at-a-time is extensively used in experimentation, design of experiment(DoE) methods, particularly factorial design, have advantages over the one-factor-at-a-time method.These advantages include, but not limited to, the ability to estimate

All students work independently ontheir assignments, but frequently assist one another to overcome problems they encounter.Approximately midway through the ten-week quarter the students are split into teams of three tofive persons for assignment to a company project.

Typically, a 1-2 hour meeting with the company includes an explanation of their business, ageneral description of the operation(s) to be simulated
