Design can cover sustainable design and planning,which is the first and important step leading to a sustainable manufacturing. Process includes allthe related manufacturing processes: macro fabrication, nano fabrication and end-of-lifestrategies (reduce, remanufacture, recycle). After design and manufacturing of products, it is alsocritical to implement the supply chain optimization and sustainability analysis, which would bethe system. As mentioned above, this course would be developed around the three themes thatinherently support each other and together form a hierarchical sustainability managementsystem:Design (Sustainable Design and Planning

The students had a mentor from industry to guide them in the design of theirrobot arm and controller. The mentor also evaluated the robot arm and similar designs for use with theRobotic Operating System (ROS) and Moveit software, for possible use of Moveit on future studentprojects.ROS and Moveit bring interesting functions for control of robot arms. The Open Motion PlanningLibrary (OMPL) is used by the Moveit, providing a variety of motion planning algorithms to controlthe students arm.

Thecourse started with project-based teaching of fundamentals of electrical circuits, electronics, andinstrumentation followed by introduction to mechanical design. It concluded with design projectsusing the skills that students learned from the aforementioned subjects. The projects aimed atpromoting active learning, research, problem solving, and understanding the design process.

An engineering designexperience was also included that consisted of the participants following the engineering designprocess based on a given scenario. It entailed the participants practicing problem-framing,planning a solution, and developing a prototype of their design. This allowed them to take on thestudent perspective of the type of lesson they will be teaching. A discussion of best practices forfacilitating this kind of experience concluded the first day.

Itpermits students, in 23 months, to obtain a Master of Business Administration [MBA] degree anda Master of Science [MS] degree in an engineering discipline. It is expected that, by thecompletion of the program, student teams will have developed a concept, a business plan, amarketing plan and a prototype for a marketable product.
