hours after Bob received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from California Polytechnical University, he began his career with General Motors in Southern California. Bob had many challenging assignments in the vehicle assembly side of the business on the factory floor in Industrial Engineering, Tooling, Production Supervision and Future Production Planning. His manufacturing expertise lead to assignments in vehicle design bringing real world production concerns and processes into the product engineering activity to design in quality and buildability. Bob’s manufacturing and engineering expertise were also applied during an assignment at Hughes Aircraft on

industries (biomedical equipment). • Attending sessions at professional conferences and trade exhibits: Students attended Materials Science and Technology ’05 conference, trade exhibition, and a four hour Materials Camp organized by ASM. Materials camp consisted of eight displays: bio-, and cryogenic- materials, manufacturing engineering, non- destructive testing, corrosion, plastics, mechanical testing and shape memory alloys. Students gained valuable experience through their participation in the hands-on exhibits at these displays. The students also enjoyed the exhibit in the MS&T trade show by the Pittsburgh Artist – Blacksmiths Association, where an induction coil was set up to heat bars of

processes’, such as has been taught for manyyears on many campuses. Such an option would also draw upon other commonly offeredcourses in mechanics, materials, electronics, quality control and engineering economics. Theinvestment for the minimalist scenario is quite small The ‘process engineering’ course in this scenario should focus on product engineering andprocess engineering. The product engineering portion of this course would concentrate on partsthat would be fabricated and subsequently assembled into usable products. Parts would bedefined in some detail as to features, dimensions, tolerances, fits, finishes and the processesthrough which the material transformations are affected. Basic concepts of group technology arequite useful in this
