for enhancing the studentlearning in a class room. First example was drawn from a graduate class in manufacturingtechnology whereas the second example was from an undergraduate class in industrialdistribution program. Both classes were taught by the same instructor and were related to qualitymanagement and lean six-sigma principles. On the other hand, the class size and academicprograms were totally different. Most importantly, results of the survey conducted at the end ofthe both classes demonstrated a positive impact of the proposed framework on student learning.Lastly, the proposed teaching framework has been beneficial to the faculty member as well interms getting access to real world industry data thereby working on the research paper

theemployers because there is a gap between what students learn at school and what they arerequired to do in practice after graduation. In this regards, Society for Manufacturing Engineers(SME) survey 1,2) has also identified several knowledge gaps including the following:  Product and Process Design  Project Management  Team Work  Communication  Problem Solving and othersIn particular, product design has been identified as a complex, integrated problem3) that covers awide range of knowledge including engineering (technology, techniques, material andprocessing, reliability, robust design), ergonomics (operation, safety, usability), business(marketing, management, planning, corporate identity), aesthetics (form, visualization, style

workforce requirement. FLATE’s flexible college and career pathway (Figure 1.)was created for Florida students and incumbent workers in order to prepare them with theeducation, skills, and credentials to support both small and large manufacturers, and to create atrained workforce for Florida which would have a positive impact on the economy and attractnew business enterprises to the state. The restructure of the A.S. Degree for engineeringtechnology education statewide required the direct address of significant challenges connected toindustry relevance, student recruitment, curriculum content, and faculty professionaldevelopment. The complexity of this higher technical education transformation is best describedin five phases: Research and Planning

A variety of positionsand projects will be covered in the paper that are focused on the furthering of the active learningexperience for the engineering students through in-house projects, where it is important to allowstudents to formulate their own ideas about the subject matter using hands-on experiences andengineering knowledge. 3 The impact on student preparation through faculty course assessmentreports (FCARs), student feedback, and work supervisor feedback will also be included in thispaper.

survey of industry needs, researchers conclude that systems thinking is one of themost important characteristics sought in university graduates hired by manufacturing firms.2Systems thinkers are adept at understanding dynamic interdependence.3 Manufacturing processesare linked and intertwined and changes in one part of a system have effects and consequencesthat cascade through the entire system. As one factor changes, there are interactions across thesystem the leads to dynamic complexity.In order to facilitate the development of systems thinking in students, educational practice mustinclude activities that allow students to explore system dynamics and develop skills in theassessment of dynamic complexity.

. Show up to work, willingness to work/learn all of the 1950's skills. How do you change this; adapt the medical model to elevate the profession. I've seen it in Europe, Asia, and with my son in the Marine Corp it works. Stop "wet nursing" and set standards, when is the last time you hear a Nursing Program or Medical School needing recruit the best• Manufacturing Processes, especially metal cutting (machining) and forming.• Pair up the teaching of theory with choosing real parts/components so that students learn both "how stuff works" and common practice. Common practice can make students more useful from the very beginning of their careers and knowing theory will advance them beyond graduates with no theoretical
