The case study is about digitization and replication of ahistorical plaster pattern of Robert Morris (Figure 1), one of the founders of the United States ofAmerica. Details of the scanning stages (Figure 2) and engineering solutions developed forsuccessful digitization such as fabrication of a rotary table and its introduction to the Geomagicscanning software are introduced within the study. The three rapid prototyping technologies thatproduced copies of the original piece are also discussed in detail (two of which are shown inFigure 3).

Recently, leaders in manufacturing educationhave been working on the recommended curricula, so called Curricula 2015 [1].According to the paper published in 2009 ASEE conference [1], bio-productmanufacturing was chosen as a new discipline that the educators should focus on. Forbio-product manufacturing or biomanufacturing, a unified definition is definitely lacking.Often, biomanufacturing deals with the production of pharmaceuticals and agriculturalproducts [2], which is mainly a subject under the disciplines of

A RDS is asoftware environment that allows students to rapidly integrate their controller and analyze it viasimulation, emulation, and implementation. In the simulation mode the student simulates a linearaxis system that includes their controller and detailed models of the interface hardware and linearaxis. In the emulation mode, the simulation is performed on the computer hardware that willimplement the controller. In this mode the student can ensure their algorithm will run in real time(i.e., the algorithm’s execution time is less than the sample period). In the implementation mode,the controller is deployed on the hardware system and experimental data is gathered

There is ongoing debate about the effectiveness, orotherwise, of this traditional didactic teaching approach and Hargrove and Dahleh 1 believethat engineering educators must develop more innovative methods for learning in order toreplicate real-world problem solving. Indeed, many practitioners have supplemented theirlectures and tutorials with project-based and problem-based learning activities in an attempt toprovide variety and alternative learning mechanisms for students 2-6.

The four “knee” servomotors are inserted in the upper part of the legs, one to aleg. These servomotors connect to the leg brackets, providing the robot with two-degrees-of-freedom articulation of each leg. By varying the duty cycle of the timing pulses(therefore the angle of the servos), each leg can be moved independently to produce a Page 15.184.4variety of gaits.

Due to this extremely limited time available to teach machining Page 15.954.4and the fact that the students have only a small amount of time to work in the machine shopoutside of class, it was extremely important to be able to maximize the use of the students’ timein class.
