Three main aspects of theteaching methods include: 1) In-class teaching of lecture material (i.e., casting processes) 2)Hands-on sand casting laboratory where students are engaged in conducting and assisting invarious steps of sand casting process (i.e., premixing, mold preparation, actual casting process,trimming sprues, runners, gates etc.) 3) Numerical and graphical analysis of the casting processthrough simulation. The integrated methodology would be comprised of classroom and labactivities, in which two sessions are conducted in the classroom environment, and one session isconducted in the casting lab. The first classroom lecture incorporates describing the variousaspects of the casting processes such

The student was able to use rudimentary machine shop knowledgeand guidance from the Laboratory Engineer to fabricate a new part and later created aSolidWorks file to allow for 3D printing of replacement parts (Appendix A). It was a chanceto learn more advanced machining techniques and also a lesson for the necessity of slowspeeds while teaching new points.The tight working space students had to program in at the screw presentation area wasexceedingly difficult to work in due to the nature of robots. The expected motion of the robotand what the robot actually does (or does not do) tend to be two very different issuesaltogether. There were several close calls with

Recent hires (8 in total) have shifted the faculty mix to one that is now predominantly Ph.D. qualified. However, most have some industrial experience, and all have backgrounds that will help in promoting these core values and mission of the department. The old technology programs were effective in their hands-on approach in large part because of a collegial and collaborative environment that existed between faculty and the department’s highly trained technical staff. This was to be maintained in the new programs. The concerns of staff and their role in supporting the new programs was thus a

These phenomena lead to a critical question: What is the value-add of an on-campus experience that cannot be achieved through these emerging online, low-costprograms?    In our view, there are at least three responses to this question. First, the active, problem-based learning in teams, coupled with opportunities for community service learningavailable through an on-campus higher educational experience can significantly trumpany online MOOC-type experience.
