As a result, learners using thisprogram will learn the subject in a structured way while having the flexibility to create his/herown path of exploration within the constraints.The goal of this research is to develop an attractive online learning package for high school andmiddle school students who are interested in the area of manufacturing engineering. CAD andRP are selected to be programmed in the experimental prototype package in order to present acomputer integrated manufacturing system as a mini-factory. One of the research objectives is tomake the program joyful and attractive to young students. Therefore, a “treasure hunt”component is included in the

The award success waslargely based on: ≠ lack of any other system delivery available for upper division coursework in a high demand engineering related program ≠ focus on Lean curriculum integration to ground students with base Lean knowledge thereby avoiding the need to retrain new graduates in the field ≠ strategic placement of senior year coursework more appropriate for online delivery due to an engineering management content base versus more lab intensive coursework ≠ increased industry ability to access internship students for longer terms and broader geographic

As companies went global with their sourcing programs over the years,procurement became a strategic function within successful organizations4. It has becomeimportant for students in engineering and technology programs to become familiar with theconcepts of supply chain management, forecasting, inventory control and continuousimprovement. This paper will describe how effective supply chain strategies using inventory control canhelp companies become more competitive in the global marketplace.

In doing so, it considered the roleof manufacturing in the global economy, the factors affecting the scope of manufacturing,and the current efforts to revitalize manufacturing in the various parts of the world. Itthen reviewed the curricular models proposed to address the needs of the manufacturingindustry. As an extension of the analysis, recommendations were made on the key aspectsof a manufacturing curriculum with an emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship.Further, the recommendations included the creation of a flexible degree program

Topics includeindustrial engineering techniques, hardware interfacing, software interfacing, and control devicesfor robotics applications. An interdisciplinary approach is used. The challenge in teaching thiscourse is the integration of knowledge and skills from mechanical engineering, electronicengineering, and computer programming for students in manufacturing technology program.In the Robotics Interfacing Engineering class, weekly labs are set up which account for the sameamount of time as the lectures. The outcome of this curriculum is to help students to exploreavailable equipment and technologies in industrial robotic applications, understand hardware andsoftware

satisfied with thelaboratory experience. Furthermore, as indicated by students’ survey results in two consecutiveyears, significant improvements in this laboratory were accomplished by introducing traditionalmanufacturing processes through the book-making processes. Finally, the laboratory equipmentpurchased to run the book-making experiment was inexpensive thus making it affordable forimplementation in many other institutions.Bibliography1.

One of the selling points forthis type of project is that rather than develop interesting but trivial engineering solutions thestudents can develop software to solve a real-world program and provide an invaluable tool forundergraduate education.For the project a group of students committed to the project as CSET curriculum requires ayearlong junior project. The team project will be to create user-friendly services and a GUI(Graphical User Interface) which will be able to control the entire work cell through MSRS.In keeping our work within MSRS and Solidworks we are able to utilize the projects from allthree teams of undergraduate students in building a complete and functional work cell withintegrated parts delivery system.
