There are also examples of broadening design methodologies bycreating products that may used by people with the widest range of abilities (e.g. people withdisabilities) and operating within widest possible operating conditions 13). Page 23.714.2In the spring of 2006, a junior year level Product and Tool Design course was deliveredconcurrently with appropriate complementing courses from Manufacturing Engineering, andMarketing departments. This initial effort of developing and delivering interdisciplinary coursehas been quite successful. The details of this work were reported in ASEE

Page 23.1201.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 The Four Pillars of Manufacturing as a Tool for Evaluating Course Content in the Mechanical Concentration of a General Engineering CurriculumAbstractThe four pillars of manufacturing have been developed as a framework to promote understandingof the ideal content of an undergraduate program in manufacturing engineering. It has beenproposed that the four pillars could also provide direction for enhancing the content of
processes.Nelson6 analyzed inputs from directors of ABET accredited programs to identify key technicalcompetencies for manufacturing graduates. Among 264 competencies, the highest rankedcompetencies related to quality, communication, and personal ethics. Baird7 proposed alaboratory exercise to simulate mass production environment. Although is more difficult todevelop this type of exercise compared to the traditional teaching practice, the benefit of thelatter approach is numerous since: a) It simulates industry practice, b) It develops specific hard-skill and soft-skill of students, c) It provides opportunity for lab instructor to be creative and organized, and

Finally, students were required to participate in the campus-wide REU poster session held during the first week in August. Students kept their posters for presentation at national or regional conferences and to display in their home departments to facilitate recruiting. Social activities REU students were integrated into the larger Texas A&M research community—over 200 undergraduates were involved in a dozen REU and other formal summer research programs in 2011. Students were housed with students from these other summer research programs in a

and Turnitin software tools so that students learned fundamentals of work ethics and plagiarism. • One objective of the course was to increase the students’ skills in critical thinking, creativity and real world problem solution, the essential components of university QEP direction. The deliverables of the course had these QEP elements in lecture, laboratory and project phases. Course evaluation results will be given in the upcoming section. • The student team learned to run a team-based research project. They developed a disciplinary action policy and individual assignments based on the Myers&Briggs test findings. • The team focused on the development of an environmentally friendly, healthy
