: A Dynamic Framework for DevelopmentAbstract Following up on its 2009 research, the National Center for Manufacturing Education(NCME) continues to explore trends in manufacturing education programs. This paper presents acompilation of results from the “Question(s) of the Week” framework designed to preface the2011 study and move the trends report towards an ongoing, dynamic source of relevantinformation for engineering technology educators engaged in the design and delivery ofmanufacturing education.Introduction The National Center for Manufacturing Education (NCME) housed at SinclairCommunity College, Dayton, Ohio published Trends in Manufacturing Programs1 in 2009.

22.522.4people.To reinforce the importance of manufacturing in the United States, the Presidents of Harvard andMIT have recently come out in support of strengthening manufacturing in the United States4.Said MIT president Susan Hockfield, “if manufacturing is old-fashioned, then we‟re not doing itright.” It‟s time to change that negative image, and it‟s time to change manufacturing.Manufacturing engineers need to raise the perception of their profession as being a majorcontributor to our standard of living. Without cost reductions created by manufacturingengineers, we wouldn‟t be able to produce and buy all the great things that improve people‟slives. The abundance of affordable products, once considered the luxuries of the elite if theywere available at

Analyze factors affecting the machined surface quality6. Develop and improve professional skills (such as communication, teamwork, business knowledge, and entrepreneurship) to help enable machining innovationNote that learning objective No. 6 included entrepreneurship education. The students in the classwere divided into six project teams with three or four students on each team. Each team wasrequired to complete three tasks by the end of the semester. These three tasks included 1)developing a computer software program for machining simulations, 2

have been separated intothree groups aligned with the previous tables. As expected the industrial comments emphasizethe need for competency in a manufacturing environment and help facing the current businesschallenges. Academics, and to the most part other respondents mentioned the many problemsfacing the academic institutions. This is understandable given that manufacturing education isvery much a publicly funded process that serves private industries. Recommendation: The comments should be read to gain further insight to the quantitative survey responses and better understanding of other perspectives.References1.

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.

develop alternative designs for their project. They need to visualize their design ideas using sketches. A problem statement explaining their design idea must also accompany each alternative design. They choose from at least two alternatives based on certain constraints including costing, marketability, and manufacturability. For extra credit, they can carry their best design into the CAD environment using SolidWorks. Armature and Mechanical Design: The students are given VEX structural components. They combine VEX parts with the custom parts they choose to design and fabricate. Once they determine the material type(s) to be utilized, fabrication can be done manually using machine tools in the

methodology.2. Overview of QFDQFD method was documented in Japan in the mid 1970’s and was first introduced to theUnited States in 1983 by Professor Yoji Akao. Since then, remarkable development andimplementation of QFD for curriculum design and improvement have been observedworld-wide 5. QFD method is a technique linking customer demands and productdevelopment. Ranking system in QFD method helps to identify and prioritize customer’svoice clearly.One of the main principles used in QFD is to determine directly from customers whatthey expect in a particular product or service viz., quality of curriculum in the instantcase. This is called Voice of Customer in parlance of QFD. There are different
