PBL seems certainlythe best way to satisfy industry needs without sacrificing the knowledge of engineeringfundamentals and welcomed by students, industry and accreditors alike [3] [4].Computer Integrated Manufacturing – CIM is being taught as an elective course during thegraduation year in undergraduate Mechanical Engineering program. The course syllabus covers awide range of topics including integration of Computer Aided Design (CAD) / Computer AidedManufacturing (CAM), Manufacturing Planning

At sophomore, junior, and senior levels, courses were selected forcritical thinking, and professional ethics emphasizes. The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence. An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gapbetween analytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggestedapproach is implemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the

Pre- and post-program surveys gage thegained knowledge of the participating teachers while formative and summative interviews by aqualified external evaluator confirm if the objectives are met.

Capstone design courses enable students to integrate theoretical knowledge with the practicalskills gained during their academic experience. Senior design

expose more students to the makerspace and to leverage making in helping studentslearn engineering concepts while applying them in projects. Both women and men had a near equaltendency to request a more integrated curriculum that includes utilizing the makerspace intoassignments, as a direct function of these students valuing making as an integral part ofengineering. For example, Waldo, a white man, discussed his idea to better integrate making intothe curriculum. We do have students coming in from a handful of classes that want to use the printers for their projects, but it's not as integrated into the curriculum as I think it should be. That's something we're definitely working on. Talking to professors saying, ‘Hey

belt and place them accurately into a drop-off fixture. In an effort togenerate interest within the robotic program and from local industries, the Department ofEngineering Technology at Drexel University responded to strength its curriculum by adding newinnovative components in its robotics and automation course, such as machine vision. A keycomponent in the robotics and automation course is the hands-on experience where student teamsuse and apply the vision systems hardware and software in an automated work-cell. In addition,the students are taught the principles of vision integration with other control devices, such as robotsand Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The experiment results make the studentsunderstand the vast use of sensor

inManufacturing is 9.7% [24-25].ConclusionsThe overwhelming recommendation to entice young students to have an interest in themanufacturing sector is a well-designed Manufacturing Processes course. The course should notonly serve the academic and curriculum requirements, but also introduce the students to thesector (e.g., tours, industry speakers, and hands-on laboratory exercises). The three conclusionsare: that proximity to the manufacturing sector for students and campuses is significant, thatinternships and cooperative learning experiences are significant, and that faculty andadministration involvement are vital.A major conclusion of the work presented here is that there is a significant difference in studentsfrom campuses near more manufacturing

Some toys include advanced vision capabilities [38] and an interactive learningenvironment, such as the Cozmo robot. The Cozmo robot (shown in Figure 1) is an autonomousrobot that is shaped like a truck [39]. It integrates computer vision capabilities with artificialintelligence algorithms [40]. Children can interact with it and see how the robot can readinformation from the objects in its proximity, which is important for various applications inmaterial tracking. It also has vision recognition capabilities that are

Assessing informally their level of interest and engagement, all 15 girls were100% engaged in every activity and enjoyed their time. Students were asked questions such as: 1. Do you find a connection between what you learn in school and the real engineering world? What specific connection did you find in doing this activity? (both activities) 2.

Engineering Education, 2019 A Unified and Collaborative Approach to Risk Classification for Fabrication and Library SpacesAbstractThis paper describes an effort to redesign risk assessment for tools and equipment across ourcampus. Existing classification schemas for assessing tool risk and safety are often restrictiveand intimidating. The previous risk classification framework at Olin College did not address theaddition of fabrication capabilities in learning spaces outside of the original machine shop,including the library, research labs, and studio classrooms. Furthermore, the old system waslimited to manufacturing equipment located in the machine shop and did not addressnon-powered tools. As a result of these

application.Previous Course Content:Since 2012 the content of the Introduction to Composites (PCE 372) course consisted of lecturetopics, a prescribed laboratory exercise, and two projects. The lecture content covered a largevariety of topics but had its focus in room temperature materials and processes. An AdvancedComposites course was (and is) also part of the curriculum and focused more on classicallamination theory and elevated temperature materials and manufacturing process.The prerequisite for the introductory course is an introduction to polymers and processing thatmainly focused on the basics of polymer chemistry and thermoplastic materials. The goal of theintroductory composites course is to enable the students to understand the basics of
