Students have an opportunity to work with machines such as mills, lathes,grinders, belt sanders, drill presses, bandsaws, and a laser cutter in preparation for their finalproject. (This five-session machiningportion of the course is the focus ofthis paper.) The course culminateswith a team-based project thatrequires students to design andconstruct a water turbine using thetechniques, tools, machines, andequipment that were developed andtaught throughout the course.

this paper, the application of rapid prototyping in fabricating awalking robotic system and mechanism is presented. Using a Dimension uPrint Personal3D Printer, prototypes of a robot body and legs are fabricated. These components are thenused to fabricate the articulated structure of an experimental prototype for a quadrupedrobot. The necessary information about methods of control, power, sensors, batteries,electronics, and more is presented. Materials, methods, and tools are outlined, includingthe use of servomotors and microcontroller-based control systems.

Automated and Semi-Automated Manufacturing ProcessesAbstractDuring the period of 1950-1990 productivity in United States industries increased 50 percent dueto technological innovation. High-value-added products were a consequence of more efficientmanufacturing processes and data processing equipment. It is predicted that in the next decadesproductivity increases will be largely due to the ability to add flexibility and improveinfrastructure through the collection and management of product data. By achieving the goalsset forth in this project, a valuable tool for educating future students will be added to ourprogram and we will also continue to improve our laboratory facilities for applied research,education and industrial partnerships.Microsoft
