Duringthe training period, the teachers took part in capsulated technical sessions (metrology,conventional machining, computer aided drafting/machining, and additive manufacturing),complementary lab practice, field tours, research seminars, and guided research projects. Thedeliverables from the program included an implementation lesson/lab plan, as well asdissemination of newly acquired knowledge at an annual teacher summit. The participants alsosummarized their studies and shared their posters with other research students, teachers fromdifferent RET, and REU programs on campus
Adapting a Freshman Manufacturing Course to Different Learning StylesIntroductionOur mechanical engineering curriculum includes a freshman course in Design ForManufacturing (DFM). This course introduces project management skills via a curriculumemploying project-based learning. These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are
engineering schools [9].Studies conducted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) identified two high prioritycompetency gaps between manufacturing industry’s workforce needs and what is provided byeducational programs on its Manufacturing Education Plan [10]. Availability of graduates inMechatronics Engineering will help industry reduce the identified critical competency gaps [4] aswell as comply with industry requirements for professionals with interdisciplinary thinking. AMechatronics Engineering graduate will have knowledge of and be capable of applyingengineering principles for design, modeling, and implementation of manufacturing automationsystems and manufacturing process control.The main source of information for the assessment of

This new program resulted from transitioning anexisting program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology along with its option in CAD/CAM.This new program accepted its first class of students in 2014 and plans to graduate 24 engineersper year starting in 2017. As part of the development of the curriculum for this new program,faculty in the department focused heavily on the recommendations from the Curriculum 2015initiative conducted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).3-4 Its primary goal was toexamine the state of manufacturing education in the US and to develop a plan for revising andimproving it. Included in the sixteen recommendations were two that encouraged the furtherdevelopment of SME’s Four Pillars of Manufacturing, and its
Conference (HI-TEC).A web page was created to allow applicants to see the research projects, mentors, and activities.The application package needed to include (1) a personal information data sheet, (2) an essaydescribing the applicant’s curriculum design experience, and (3) a recommendation letter. Thepersonal data sheet allowed the project director to group applicants based on their researchinterests. The project director then worked with each individual mentor to select participants.General Program InformationAs described earlier, the program’s goals included: (1) to participate and learn about a researchproject with a graduate student and mentor; (2) develop a lesson plan for disseminating theresearch experience into the classroom. To achieve

A list of do’s and don’ts are provided based on the information that wasobtained from the assessment.INTRODUCTIONIn today’s competitive environment, employers are placing a high value on graduates thathave demonstrated relevant skills and knowledge in any discipline. To establish that thegraduates have learned the required knowledge and acquired the required skills,instructors turn to annual and long-term assessment processes. These assessmentrequirements may vary with each institution. However, there are certain assessmentprocesses that these institutions are required to adopt by accrediting bodies such

most successful when they allocate timein the challenge and methodically proceed through the design process. The steps that each ofthese kits focus on are planning, defining the design criteria or success criteria, brainstorming,prototyping, testing, and iterating. Before and after the activity students take a survey thatassesses their understanding of the engineering design process and queries how they wouldallocate time in a similar challenge based on the steps of the design process.We detail the student and faculty experiences and provide preliminary data from our pilotdeployment of these kits. We will provide sample kits for other faculty to take home and solicitsuggestions for adoption in other programs.IntroductionEngineering design is a

Assessment: Meaningful Assessment Evaluation Hansen argues that for assessment to be meaningful, it must assess for understanding. Assessment for understanding “requires careful planning and a variety of assessment approaches” (Hansen, 2011, p. 94). Hansen lists 8 principles for meaningful assessment, again adapted from Wiggins (Wiggins, 1998). Below, Hansen’s 8 principles, applied mostly to LO5, use manufacturing processes to manufacture a part, show how meaningful assessment is accomplished in this course: 1. Use

Analyzing the Data: Analyzing the data starts with proving the validity of the method of analysis. Then follow the rough idea developed in the design stage to analyze the data using mathematical tools for finding out the desired process characteristics or responses. This may lead to establishing characteristics using the results 4. Interpret the Data: To draw conclusions from the findings of the analysis.2.4 Instructional Materials and ActivitiesThe instructional method used, comprises of the three components (i) pre-class guidedlearning (ii) in-class discussion and

Moreover, the students identifiedgrowth strategies aligned to this segment and targeted three different markets for penetration andexpansion. Then, they analyzed suppliers that could collaborate with the chemical organizationfor introducing a new product line. Through analysis students selected construction, automotive,and electronics as the potential industries that would provide a strong opportunity for growth forspecialty

Thus, the first row(under Autonomous Robots) in Table 2, “Programming”, was among the top five selections for34% of the manufacturers and 52% of the college faculty.The plan for the data analysis was to address the five questions summarized in Table 3. The orderof the questions in the table does reflect the analysis progression through the aggregated data.Thus, the first order of events was to determine the popular skill selections for manufacturers andeducators. Once those selection percentages were reviewed, the degree of popularity by groupwas explored. After reviewing aggregated responses, the fourteen skills were grouped based ondifferences between the manufacturers’ and

Other functions, such as offset, revolve, creating geometricforms in different plans, and sweep are all used in this project.The second project was mostly related to several types of Legos with different sizes, colors, andfunctionality. In this project, students learn how to create a composite system using several shapesof Legos, such as cars, planes, robots, or even animals. Later, the students perform 2D and 3D-plans and views representing their projects.The third project was mostly related to a realistic design project, where the students need toselect three to four hooks for separate tools, from a bank of tools brought to the classroom by theinstructors. The instructors brought tools from their homes (figure 4), as well as

Learning, by Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel6, has recently made this ideapopular as a guide in improving both teaching and learning practices. There are many tactics forshattering this illusion and enabling more permanent learning, many of which can be summed upby the three “big ideas” put forth by Make It Stick: 1. Learning works by getting it out, not getting it in. 2. Difficulty is desirable. 3. A growth mindset motivates.In this paper, an engineering course is examined for symptoms of illusions of learning, andimprovements to the curriculum and teaching methods are incorporated and reviewed. Thecourse of interest is MFG 480: Manufacturing Process Planning and System Design, a 3-creditengineering course for seniors that has been taught for

integration. Theactivity provides an excellent opportunity for students to integrate their knowledge of automationbuilding blocks (such as sensor, actuator, relays, switches, push buttons, PLC and interfacing) inreal-life problem solving. The experience is challenging, but seems positive and has been well-received by students (some have even brought their parents to see their projects). Future plansinclude combining multiple models to form a large scale system, creating an on-linedocumentation system so that teams can blog about their learning experience throughout theproject development stage, and making the systems available to be controlled remotely via theweb. We also plan to conduct experiments using mobile devices for remote control of systems

The users need to be able to hear the video, but the level should be respectful of nearby labs/offices. For this particular display, it is located amongst many research labs and so it was not too sound sensitive. Still, the sound was frequently adjusted by others through the TV volume controls. • Find a way to disable auto-updates on the host computer, instead make a plan to manually update software as needed. The auto-updates on this computer required the user to approve the update. As such, it stalled the video display by having the pop up window on the other
summer camp time can be in the middle of summer and may disruptthe summer schedule for the whole family. In addition, in the summer, faculty and high-school teachers have their own summer agenda. All of this needs to be discussed andprepared to find the best time for summer camp.ScheduleThe schedule of the summer camp should be planned carefully, especially in the case ofvirtual education. The aim is to keep the student focused on his activities, to make thepresentation clear and complete enough to make it clear and adaptable for all students.Type of studentsOur goal in this summer camp is to focus on minorities and women, as well as low-incomefamilies. At the moment, we are focusing on high school. The involvement of middle schoolstudents was
