cumulative failure distribution? What is the MTBF and MTTR (mean time to repair) ofa part or system? Do opportunities exit to improve a part or system performance? What types ofreliability testing are appropriate? What should be the accelerated stress conditions to use toinduce early failures?Today’s customers demand manufacturers to produce highly reliable and easily maintainableproducts. Engineering education is basically deterministic6. But natural variability plays a vitalrole in determining reliability. There is variability in the materials, manufacturing processes, andin using the products. Figure 2 shows the variability in the strength (S) of product based on

The NSF-ATE project goals are: 1) augment and reorganize existing electrical andmechanical engineering technology courses into thirty-two enhanced modules at three differenttiers, 2) incorporate experiential learning in each module level so that the modules aremeaningful and practical, and 3) incorporate innovative delivery of lecture and laboratorymaterials. The innovative aspects of this project are: a) meet student learning needs based on theirdiverse educational background, b) provide multiple delivery options, c) complete modules(rather than courses) to receive college credit(s) or certificate(s), and d) provide

quality will be upheld in a larger class size environment.6. SummaryTraditional teaching tools for engineering economy have served the students well over the years.However, there is a need to enhance the learning experience based on contemporary students’expectations. It is shown that the case study based teaching approach utilized here incorporatesactive learning and the chosen case studies highlight the applications of theoretical principles toreal-world business problems. Case study-based analysis also enhances communication skills ofthe students. The students found the new case-study based teaching approach challenging as wellas rewarding.References 1. Grose, T.

S. national strategic plan for manufacturing released inFebruary11 and the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership report due in March, manufacturing isbecoming more visible as a priority and becoming more important in engineering and technologyeducation programs. This portends an increase in resources and support for manufacturingresearch, education, and training along with the need for furthering collaboration andpartnerships among all of those whose aim is to enhance manufacturing.Some of the opportunities for contributions include taking up action on items in the tables bothindividually and collectively through groups such

Production Technician (MSSC-CPT) credential was developed bythe same named council and grew out of the US Department of Labor efforts in the1990’s to develop a credential for manufacturing front line or entry level employees. Theskill sets for a CPT are built on the industrial engineering principles and practices forproduction which are common to all manufacturing and production enterprises. Thus, thecredential is portable and applicable to all manufacturing sectors. These foundationalskills and knowledge are bundled into four broad areas common to the manufacturingsector: Manufacturing Processes & Production, Quality Practices and Measurement,Maintenance Awareness, and Safety. The skill sets are also aligned with the USDepartment of Labor

engineering programs in recentyears. Since 1990’s, RP has been used in engineering education to enhance design relatedcourses4. It became an essential part of the design and manufacturing curricula, ranging fromfirst-year design and drafting courses to senior-year capstone projects5-9. It has also been used intwo-year engineering program10. RP is considered as one of the “new frontiers” of manufacturingeducation, along with 3D scanning and reverse engineering11. In order to address the emergingdemand of RP technicians on the job market, Patton and Liu12 developed “train the trainers”workshops. In addition to using RP in regular engineering curricula, Strzelect and Vavreck7reported using RP to support broader mission of the campus, including

contractors were awardedcontracts to build F-16s [ii] using the exact same design and drawings. The parts were made tostrict specifications. Naturally, as the blue prints used by both were the same, equivalentperformance was anticipated from both. But this was not the case when the field history resultscame in after some use of the jets in the field.What was found was that the Japanese built planes had a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF)reliability that was twice as that of the U.S. F-16’s! Such a difference in performance cannot beattributed purely to chance. There has to be an uncommon cause that resulted in this. Onconducting an analysis, it was found that the U.S. manufacturers used the full spectrum oftolerance that was available to them, whereas
