Learning, by Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel6, has recently made this ideapopular as a guide in improving both teaching and learning practices. There are many tactics forshattering this illusion and enabling more permanent learning, many of which can be summed upby the three “big ideas” put forth by Make It Stick: 1. Learning works by getting it out, not getting it in. 2. Difficulty is desirable. 3. A growth mindset motivates.In this paper, an engineering course is examined for symptoms of illusions of learning, andimprovements to the curriculum and teaching methods are incorporated and reviewed. Thecourse of interest is MFG 480: Manufacturing Process Planning and System Design, a 3-creditengineering course for seniors that has been taught for

machines demand a greater attention to safety. A wider range of materials can be machined. Students learn to appreciate the role of a material’s machinability in process planning. Larger work envelops and spindle horsepower support a wider range of fabrication possibilities. For example, machining of molds. Better exposure is provided to the challenges in selecting tooling and fixtures. Students develop a better understanding of the proper selection of process parameters (speeds, feeds and depths-of-cut) and the trade-offs as materials and conditions change. A better appreciation for the challenges in achieving dimensionally accurate parts is obtained. Students acquire a more realistic understanding of the efficiencies of

prevent curing. Therefore, we recommend polyurethane rubber bands and polyethylenegloves. While curing, the surfaces are level so that silicone remains distributed evenly while it isviscous. In cases with shorter class sessions (45 minutes), students should have time to plan,prepare, and pour their molds, letting them cure overnight. We have used toaster ovens asincubators during longer class sessions (90 minutes) to accelerate the cure time allowing studentsto complete multiple fabrication stages during one period. Note that material used in making themolds must be tolerant of 150 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. After the soft robot part is cured,it can be removed from the mold.Inextensible LayerThe bottom layer of the gripper is adhered with

This approach must be adjusted to include the evolving interestsof each new incoming generation of students; if it’s not animated, colorful, virtual, “cool” andmost importantly part of their current world, capturing student interest is difficult at best. This paper will address a planned summer workshop for high school students that will usethe guitar to introduce the “fun” side of engineering and specifically manufacturing.

path is referred as the contouring error. A typicaltest that is used is a circular test in which the machine is programmed to travel along acircle, and the difference between the programmed path and the measured actual path iscompared. The purpose of this study is to identify the various contributors to thiscontouring error, and in particular estimate the error due to stick slip motion usinganalytical techniques. It is planned to measure the errors experimentally making use ofcapacitance probes. The study is intended to develop an appreciation for the sources ofdifferent errors produced in a machine tool and as such forms a module in a typicalsemester long class devoted to manufacturing processes.INTRODUCTIONComputer controlled machine tools

Digital plans of drones were transmitted by satellite link, and fed into the 3Dprinter by sailors. The crew then took the printed parts and assembled them, including electronicparts already on board. Furthermore, aerospace companies turn to additive manufacturing tomake lighter parts at a lower cost to reduce the weight11-12.MethodologyThe process of generating a 3D computer model and converting it to a CAD model for themanufacturing process is described below.

In this study, time and materialconsumptions are estimated by the slicer data and stresses are analyzed using a Finite ElementModel (FEM). The validation plan of the frame structure is to first, print both a 15% infill, andhollow frame parts to compare print times, and resulting quality [11]. Then fill the hollow framepart with epoxy and allow to cure. After curing is complete, a flexural test can be conducted onthe frame sections to verify the difference in deflection between fill parameters.Design of a 3D Printer FrameA basic 3D printer was designed with the objective

The experience is challenging, but seems positive and has been well-received by students (some have even brought their parents to see their projects). Future plansinclude combining multiple models to form a large scale system, creating an on-linedocumentation system so that teams can blog about their learning experience throughout theproject development stage, and making the systems available to be controlled remotely via theweb.

For this particular display, it is located amongst many research labs and so it was not too sound sensitive. Still, the sound was frequently adjusted by others through the TV volume controls. • Find a way to disable auto-updates on the host computer, instead make a plan to manually update software as needed.

However, onquestion number #5, the average rating for seniors was 2% higher than for juniors. On question#4, the average rating for seniors was 4% higher than for juniors. On the other hand, on question#6, the average rating for seniors was 1% lower than for juniors. These data suggest that seniorsappreciated CNC Tutor more, perhaps because they had already taken the class. Both the juniorand senior ratings suggest that the practice questions need improvement.

In the firstlectures and labs, students used a basic system wiring ladder diagram including safety circuitry.In lab they learned the fundamentals of electrical controls wiring and performed basic wiring forsensors and actuators.
