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

instruction in one of theclasses reviewed will be presented.IntroductionAdvances in technology in manufacturing present challenges to engineering programs that mustkeep their curriculums current so that their graduates meet the needs of the industries that hirethem. 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. The faculty in consultation with the program’s Industrial AdvisoryCommittee have maintained a mission of

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
