long it took the given design to go from theopen position to the closed position. Speed was given an importance weighting of 20 since it isimportant to elevate as quickly as possible, but not as important to the constraints of the robot asstrength and weight are. Finally, reliability was considered as how consistent and durable thesystem is. It was only given an importance weighting of 15 since low durability can easily becompensated for by checking the system for signs of damage after every match.Since there was no baseline for the Pugh Matrix, the alternatives were compared on how wellthey fit each criterion. The alternative that fit it the best was given a 1, the worst alternative wasgiven a -1 and the final alternative was given a 0. The

reduces the environmental impact of plastic waste while offering acost-effective alternative to virgin plastic filaments, benefiting both businesses and consumersengaged in AM. As the demand for low-cost filaments continues to rise, meeting this needsustainably is essential [8]. However, no comprehensive OERs or hands-on practices currentlyexist to teach the practical and entrepreneurial aspects of filament production from recycledplastics [9]. Project R2 addresses this gap by creating unique instructional materials thatshowcase best practices, demonstrating how to produce affordable, high-quality filaments whilepromoting environmental stewardship.1.3.

Currently,instructor-led and hands-on practical training methods are employed in machining workforcedevelopment programs. However, the aspect of student motivation, involvement and satisfactionis often ignored, which is one of key potential reasons for dropping

, with great success. Recent studies have shown that it can also be applied to a number ofmanufacturing courses, where students have expressed a positive preference for learning throughservice learning projects. The study presented in this paper provides another best practice from asubtractive manufacturing course by advancing the design and machining of a versatile germtool. The results of a student survey conducted for this purpose from the subtractivemanufacturing course were compared to data from the previous semester. It was observed thatthere was a significant improvement in student learning and the attainment of ABET StudentOutcomes, due to the integration of service learning into course term projects.

development in manufacturing.Evidence shows that co-designed programs are more likely to align with industry-specificrequirements and deliver measurable outcomes [5].While existing literature provides general frameworks for fostering collaborative relationships[6], there is a noticeable gap in research addressing systematic methodologies for engagingmanufacturing employers in PWD programs. For example, Valiente Bermejo and colleagues [5]emphasize the well-recognized advantages of collaboration in curriculum design and delivery butnote that existing models often lack sufficient concreteness for practical application orgeneralizability beyond their original disciplines. Similarly, a study by the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST) [7

This is most important in the area CAD/CAM and CNC where new trends in software,information technology and hardware capabilities impact industry practices in machining. Onesuch manufacturing engineering program, the context for this paper, has traditionally maintaineda focus on CAD/CAM and CNC in its curriculum that extends back to its roots as an engineeringtechnology program.

standards are used during additivemanufacturing process development, and using standards during testing and evaluation ofadditively manufactured parts. Examples of standards covered include ASME Y14.46 andISO/ASTM 52900-21. The modules are applicable for all types of AM processes but focus moston material extrusion and powder bed fusion. We describe the process of designing the modules,guided by best-practices for online learning and a backwards design strategy, use of a variety ofonline learning technologies, and interactive course activities. The modules have been deployedinto the curriculum of several additive manufacturing-related courses offered at a large publicuniversity in the southwestern United States starting in Fall 2022.

RealityAbstractSuccessful assembly processes positively impact the U.S. manufacturing sector’s economy byoptimizing the manufacturing system, lowering the production cost, and increasing theprofitability for manufacturers, all of which enhance supply chain resilience and reinforcesustainability. Given the significance of the assembly process in manufacturing and itsconsiderable impact on the U.S. economy, developing new instruction methods for teachingassembly practices in manufacturing is crucial. Educators and researchers have been developingnew methods for teaching assembly processes to help develop a skilled workforce and preparestudents to contribute to the future growth of the manufacturing sector. Many of the excitingmethods currently employed in
