TheIDS course also prepares the engineering students to take on the Capstone Design course in theirsenior year. The second novel feature of IDS project is that it involved concurrent delivery oftwo junior level courses where the course content of the courses was synchronized. The coursesinvolved in this project were ENGR 3650: Product and Tool Design (Engineering Department),and MARK 3700: Marketing Research (Marketing Department). Both the classes have the samenumber of credits (3) available to the students. Engineers take ENGR 3650 while marketingstudents

-longeducational journey (three quarters) that takes an idea generated by a student or an industrialsponsor and culminates in a product or project. This course is an excellent capstone experience,which requires both teamwork and individual skills in solving a modern industrial problem.Senior design projects in fall, winter, and spring quarters bring the students, faculty, andindustrial partners together to see the student’s results and to give them the additional experienceof public presentation of their work7-10.The purpose of this paper is to describe a capstone senior design project involved in theenvironmentally conscious manufacturing11. The experience to improve industrial workingenvironment and process costs in the project is discussed. Our senior

technologists various advancedskills that can be used in their careers. Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefitfrom this application, enabling the development of skill and knowledge in many differentengineering aspects and processes. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design & manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization. As manufacturing laboratories are very expensive to develop, this project can also beadapted at other institutions that have limited funding to improve manufacturing processfacilities.Background In Drexel University’s School of Technology and Professional Studies, many courses relatedto robotics, design, and materials are offered to the

real industrial constraints, often interactive with a corporate sponsor. Students are challenged to design effective and efficient part manufacturing methods and complete production systems for commercial and industrial products. The common theme for students is mastering process and system design procedures that are applicable to any product in any industry. Graduates have been successful in manufacturing en- terprises that produce virtually every type of product–literally, from spacecraft to foodstuffs. Dr. Wells also leads innovation teams in two engineering venues: product realization capstone projects and a unique multidisciplinary undergraduate discovery-learning course. Dr. Wells’ active research lies in

Not all factors are measurable or evenknown and sometimes decisions must be based upon probabilistic outcomes.Method of the projectThe Manufacturing Cost Analysis course, in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology(MNET) program at South Dakota State University, includes an inductive based project thatseeks to enhance learning and promote systems thinking of students taking the course. Thecourse is not considered a capstone course but rather a course designed to present topics ofmanufacturing cost estimating and engineering economy to senior level students. While theprimary goal of the course is cost analysis, the instructor recognizes the importance of systemsthinking and uses problem based

here requires student teams to design and machine an injection mold that will beused to produce plastic parts (see Figure 2). Finally, some though not all students may utilizeCNC machines for fabrication work as part of their capstone Senior Project (ETEC 422 and 424). Figure 2. Examples of Molds Machined in ETEC 335The requirements for project work in ETEC 322, 426, 335 and 422/424 place high demands onthe four machines in the department’s CNC laboratory. The use of verification technology is oneway to reduce the amount of on-machine programming changes needed, identify errors andstreamline the procedures that students must follow before being allowed to execute their workon a machine.Developing and Deploying the

Having seen an example ofthe four pillars applied to evaluation of a manufacturing engineering program also presented atthe 2012 ASEE conference (paper)3, this method showed promise for also critiquing themanufacturing content within a mechanical engineering concentration.Project GoalThe goal of this project was to evaluate the content of a manufacturing processes course formechanical engineering students using the content areas of the four pillars, in the context of therest of the program course requirements, to help identify opportunities for improvements.
