WITH ALCOA IN REAL WORLD DESIGN PROJECTStudents in a freshman level product design and specification class were given a project todesign a test fixture that would be used to evaluate polymer friction for a bottle-closure system.The product design and specification class is a required class in the Mechanical EngineeringTechnology curriculum at Purdue University, Columbus, Indiana.Initially, Alcoa CSI, a local consumer products company that makes plastic bottles and closures,needed a way to measure the polymer friction that occurs between the bottle and closure threadsand between the bottle and closure sealing surfaces. The friction measurements from standardpolymer friction test methods have not been applicable

Depending upon projectdynamics, different students will learn different things on different projects. Learningpoints often expressed and documented by students in their final semester memos whichhave been collected over a series of years include: 1. Improved teamwork, leadership, and communication skills 2. Understanding of how the design process really works 3. Development of an appreciation for the importance of “attention to detail” 4. Understanding of the role of test and measurement in design 5. Application of analytical knowledge and skills from prior coursework 6. Understanding about a new

A review of literaturerevealed that the teaching methodologies of lectures, experimental laboratories, design projects,case studies, games, and internships were all likely to achieve the requirements. An analysis ofthe application of these methodologies to meet the requirements, along with the results from pastevaluations of the use of case studies in engineering classrooms, indicated that the case studymethodology was the best candidate for bringing real-world issues into engineeringclassrooms11,3.

Instead, we measured the difference betweenrater perceptions of actual and expected performance. We averaged the scores todetermine the category of average actual performance and average expected performancefor each question. Because each rater brings different assumptions about what thesecategories mean in the “real” and “academic” world, we calculated the differencebetween actual and expected ratings for each question and determined the average delta,or “room for improvement.”Table 4.1 shows a summary of the average performance category for students, averageexpected performance category
