Students gain knowledge in each of those domains from avariety of undergraduate classes (both engineering and non-engineering) and need guidance fordrawing on that knowledge and integrating it when they are faced with new, complex problems.Faculty often observe that students have difficulty connecting knowledge from across classes ordomains to fully analyze problems and evaluate trade-offs. The primary goal of this project is toimprove students’ abilities to apply sustainable engineering design concepts across differentproblems or design contexts and improve

The first class of the sequence is MF233. This course is broken into two sections; which areCNC programming for a vertical mill, and CNC programming for a lathe. Both of these topicsreview manual G&M code programming, as well as CAM programming utilizing Mastercam inconjunction with Solidworks 3D modeling software. One of the highlights of this course is aproject in which the student must complete a project of some type. The projects are usually aservice to the community or university. Examples of projects completed in MF 233 are fluidtransfer valves for the university power plant
