The industrial partners also contributed with complimentaryprofessional training and free computer-aided drafting and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) softwareto participating teachers and their schools. The program trained 29 teachers in the previous two summers. The teachers publishedtheir lesson plans and implemented in their classes with the new activities and knowledge thatthey have acquired during the training. Some teachers participated in a regional conference,guided and brought their students to different competitions, and won numerous awards includingthe first prize in robotics competition at the state level.

complex problems.Moreover, metacognition increases individual and team performance and can lead to more originalideas. This study discusses the assessment of metacognitive skills in engineering students byhaving the students participate in hands-on and virtual reality activities related to design andmanufacturing. The study is guided by two research questions: (1) do the proposed activities affectstudents’ metacognition in terms of monitoring, awareness, planning, self-checking, or strategyselection, and (2) are there other components of metacognition that are affected by the design andmanufacturing activities? The hypothesis is that the participation in the proposed activities willimprove problem-solving skills and metacognitive awareness of the

, demonstratinga competency in an engineering lab requires instructions or a procedure. Based on the procedure, wepredict a certain outcome when procedural steps are performed as prescribed. The outcome of thedemonstration (observation) is compared to prediction (expectation). A noticeable difference betweenobservation and expectation may require revision of the procedure (theory) then applying it again in orderto gain knowledge. A robust methodology for acquiring knowledge is the Deming Cycle of Plan-Do-Study-Act orPDSA. Deming refers to it as the Shewhart Cycle [6]. Figure 4 shows that the PDSA cycle is continuousand thus guarantees the temporal dimension for the theory of knowledge. In other words, knowledge isgained after each cycle and future

carried out and evaluated as a team during the laboratory sessions. Traditionally, thislaboratory activity is carried out during two sessions; in the first session half of the time is for anintroductory explanation of the use of the manual lathe machine and in the second half thestudents start a hand on work with the piece. During the second session the students continuewith the project so they can finish all the manual lathe operations.Typically, students have some difficulties to achieve the targeted tolerances and they show somefrustration in the mid-term project presentation. To improve the students’ performance (primarilymeasured by tolerance gap) and experience, during the spring 2019 year was planned to apply aspaced practice strategy

This new post-secondary education architecture will provide the student with a real-world learning environmentfor a full four-year undergraduate engineering program. The students learn the traditionalengineering theory and practical skills by participating in every aspect of the EMS business –hence, the phrase concurrent education. The professors in the school also lead project teamsconsisting of students and staff on the EMS production floor. The students will be compensatedfor their work in the EMS. The teaching staff will be employed by the business as well as theschool. The paper presents the planned curriculum for the students’ freshman year. The schoolutilizes the real world EMS classroom

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.

Considering this fact, this paper investigates an approach of integratingthe simulation-based activities in the classroom to bring changes in the learning outcomes ofmanufacturing course.Over the last few decades, traditional manufacturing/production engineering educational programshave long depended on curricula based on concurrent engineering methodologies covering productand process designs, functional design development, concept selection for product design,materials and process selection, process planning including assembly analysis, etc

appears [15]. Manufacturing students learn thatfrom an operational viewpoint operating efficiency is quantified as percent utilization and yieldfor a given operation. Percent utilization is the actual amount of productive machine time(uptime) divided by the optimal amount time available for a given machine. This fundamentalmanufacturing concept can be more readily understood by students within a hands-on, activelearning environment [16]. Students can easily understand the numerous reasons for lower than100% utilization: preventative maintenance, machine set up and adjustments [17]. While otherdowntime issues are not planned such as unscheduled maintenance, lack of raw materials, staff

Base on thefeedback from students, it is needed to integrate standards and standardization training through aseries of courses in the Industrial Engineering M.S. program to strengthen students’understanding and knowledge.
