technology. As a result of its focus on design around a product family, aRMS is typically modular, adaptable and scalable. These characteristics make a RMS attractivefor use in manufacturing systems courses as it allows faculty the ability to start with amanufacturing system that is affordable, and then to change the system as additional resourcesbecome available or as technology changes. In addition, a truly reconfigurable manufacturingsystem provides opportunities for students in different project groups, within a given course, todemonstrate the implementation of theoretical system designs on a single manufacturing system.This paper presents the design and development of the Western Reconfigurable ManufacturingSystem Testbed (WeRMST), which was

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

Those are (i) visualization of thecomplex geometries, (ii) design with complex CAD features. In the MET1172 CADD/CAE, classassignments are modified by adding more requirements to the term projects so that the studentswill design by looking from the aspect of additive manufacturing technology.

Additionally, older machineparts tended to be single-made, versus mass produced, which further complicates finding anappropriate replacement. This is a distinct problem when dealing with ageing machines that arestill in use, but cannot be easily fixed. This paper presents an example of how reverseengineering, modeling, and prototyping using a Maker Space may be employed to generate a partfor an ageing steam locomotive. To further student learning of reverse engineering andmodeling, this project was additionally used to fulfill and Honor’s Contract in an introductory3D constraint-based modeling course.1To graduate with an Honors diploma, students at Western Carolina University must
