Therefore, the first CAM exercise students should partake in is following along to anin-class exercise of creating a basic milling program. In this exercise, students will: a) Apply CAD skills to create a 3D model for a part-stock-vise setup b) Create a “machining setup” by defining cuttable areas and sequencing a series of simple machining operations to rough out and subsequently finish the part with a finer tool. c) Run a successful

introduce the concept of batch size as it pertains to manufacturing. We can use thefollowing definitions: • Batch – A group of products that are manufactured simultaneously. • Transfer batch – A group of products that are transferred from one operation to another as a group. A transfer batch is a subset of a batch.As an example 1 of how batches work in manufacturing, consider Fig. 1. Assume that we havetwo products, X, and Y. Both products have to be processed in the same plant at the samestations, A, B, and C. The stations have the following capabilities: • Station A – Can process 1000 units of X per day and 2000 units of Y per day. • Station B – Can process 2000 units of X per day and 2000 units of Y per day

However, the causal nature of this relationship hasyet to be explored. Also, data from more engineering textbooks, other than the three consideredin this paper, could be analyzed to produce a better understanding of student engagement for theengineering discipline.References[1] E.

Creation of mechanism design concepts is the mostcrucial step in the machine design process and usually requires creativity and experience. Synthesisrepresents the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy [28], thus mechanism design exercises are typi-cally postponed to later stages in the course, and are integrated into an end-of-the-semester designproject. By this time, it may be too late to cultivate students’ interest in synthesis or

In these models, the effects of adaptivelearning methods and other factors on the student's final grade were captured. The model resultsoffer several important findings. First, the pass/fail model clearly highlights the role of themodules in increasing pass rate while controlling for all other student attributes. Also, theadaptive learning module had a

Based on students’ feedback, this is mostly because a) the undergraduatestudents have limited research experience and b) some of the undergraduate students need tospend lots of time and effort getting familiar with programming.
