Alfred is located in Western New York, approximately 75 miles south of Rochester, N.Y.BSET-6224 is a full fledged design course that has as it’s motto “Design is Dedication”. Thismotto works two ways in this particular case. It is not just the student that has to showdedication, it is also a requirement for the instructor. Successful conclusion of two requireddesign projects depends very much on the above motto. Outline of course materialThe Theory PortionThe course is divided into two major parts:1. Linear Regulators

In an educational setting, models and prototypes have traditionally beenconstructed by hand using a variety of materials in the absence of machining tools and training.This is considered a fundamental aspect of design according to the Standards of TechnologicalLiteracy set by the International Technology Education Association (ITEA, 2002), the NationalAcademy of Engineering (NAE, 2002), and many leading engineering educators (Oaks, 2003). In the 1980’s, the manufacturing industry began developing what has evolved into rapidprototyping and three-dimensional printing technology. This technology has provided the abilityfor designers and

Themanufacturing process that belongs to this group of problems is metalcasting. In the past,metalcasting was more of an art than the science; however, nowadays computer software issuccessfully applied to simulate filling and solidification process. The accurate result ofsimulation allow improved casting design along with the optimization of the gating and riseringsystem used to produce a sound product.IntroductionTremendous developments in computer science, engineering and technology in recent years havebrought many changes in the way we conduct our daily activities.

By allowing thisadaptability, IEW members are more committed to team goals established each year because thesealign more fully with what each member finds meaningful.
