Its specialties such as bionics6 and bioprinting7 are gaining momentum thanks toinnovative neuro-prosthetics, bionic eye or ear development, and tissue and organ engineeringrespectively. On the other hand, another subset, biomaterials is searching for organic substitutesfor engineering materials. Biofuel8 development and bacteria-based energy generation9 areoccupying minds of the many. While DNA computing10 and bioinformatics11 are redefining theinformatics field, biometrics12 is growing deeper in our daily lives. Most importantly we arestarting experience a scientific revolution in our world through bionanotechnology13.For the U.S. to keep its competitiveness in the cutting edge technology arena, its

tailored quiz,instructors can determine the student’s current level of understanding relating tomanufacturing, and part design. The questions and subsequent discussions allow theinstructor to establish a common foundation that each manufacturing process can be builtupon. Issues relating to a manufacturing companies department structure and theirinterrelationships are also presented at this time. Industry like projects and testingmethods are detailed along with the resulting benefits. Also discussed is the use of activelearning through the use of Mind Mapping and by leveraging the student’s use of theInternet and exposure to engineering entertainment media. Mind Mapping is used both bythe student and the presentation of material by the instructor

the past three decades that underlie the more visibleproblems remain as the matters of central importance today. What is “manufacturingengineering”? What is the inviolable persona of the professional organizations that bear thistitle? What are the mutual responsibilities and dependencies between education and industrialpractice? The first of these great questions has been answered in a time-tested fashion. The remainingchallenges are in implementation. The responsiveness of the ASEE Manufacturing Division andof the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and of the newer players such as the ManufacturingEducation Resource Center and other like-minded groups, is the most critical issue yet to bedetermined. Can these vitally-concerned

into teams and focus primarily on learning themain concepts of designing, organizing, operations strategy, and entrepreneurship byperforming case studies that are presented in class. By the end of the four week period eachteam of students will have an idea for a service or product which they intend to work with.These ideas are worked on throughout the duration of the semester. The final project is a 10minute PowerPoint presentation where each group discusses their ideas and is asked anyquestions that the audience may have regarding their idea or work 3.Having interviewed with many local industrial leaders, the authors concluded that manyCEOs of larger firms are seeking new engineers that have entrepreneurship skills, because, intheir minds
