totackle the manufacturing system problems and how to solve those problems with CollectiveSystem Design.Collective System Design provides clear advantages in defining problems and findingcorresponding solutions in a myriad of design processes. Students learned that it is important toalways consider the objectives (functional requirements) while seeking answers (designparameters) to problems and to select DPs to ensure functional independence. To portray breadthand depth, this paper has illustrated the application of Collective System Design to the system,sub-system, and machine/fixture levels of production systems.References[1] Albers, T., Clampitt, C., Goss, B., and Lulgjuraj, M., “Kinney Vacuum Plant – Linked Cell Manufacturing System,” 2.812
diverse in their approaches toproblem solving which obviously can cause conflict. When working on a specific problem(Problem A), the management will most likely be faced with an additional problem (Problem B)which deals with how to effectively manage the diversity among the problem solvers11. In orderto be productive, a team must spend more time working on problem A and less on problem B.One way for management to accomplish more of a focus on problem A, the real engineeringproblem to be solved, is to understand not only how to manage knowledge diversity but also tounderstand the process of group cognition.Knowledge diversity can be managed by offering training and promoting continuous learning inan organization. Another way to manage knowledge

released in February 2008.The BOK1 has already impacted accreditation criteria and civil engineering curricula. TheBOK2, while being more recent and not yet addressed within accreditation criteria, is motivatingadditional change in some civil engineering curricula. The BOK2 is essentially a coordinated listof 24 outcomes presented within three outcome categories: Foundational, Technical andProfessional. The outcomes define the desired level of achievement (LOA) defined according toBloom’s Taxonomy for the cognitive domain3,4. Additionally, the BOK2 has recommendedoutcome achievement targets for each portion of the fulfillment pathway: for the baccalaureatedegree (B), post-baccalaureate formal education (M/30), and pre-licensure experience (E

that the borings were done. Florin worries that the borings data is inaccurate. Perhaps the drilling crew took borings at the wrong place? The accuracy of the borings critically affects the design recommendations for his report. The report is due in six days.”Students were given a minute to read the story and then were presented with followingoptions about what Florin should do: a) Boring logs from nearby sites are probably okay to use since soil conditions in the area do not vary significantly. b) Florin should call the geologist and get proof that the existing data came from borings at the site. If proof is unavailable, the boring crew should be fired. c) Florin should tell the client his concerns and

areas such as space and human body. A challenge facing TEGs is their low efficiencydue to obtaining their energy from low energy sources such as waste heat and a low figure ofmerit (ZT) that enable conversion of heat into electricity1. , where T is the absolutetemperature, s is Seebeck coefficient, is electrical conductivity, and k is thermal conductivity.In power generation, the Seebeck effect enables the direct conversion between heat and electricenergy streams. Heating one end of the unit cell while holding the other end cooler induceselectromotive force within the material and may be harnessed for electrical power2. In Figure 1,two dissimilar semiconductors A and B are connected electrically in series but thermally inparallel with

The density of the reacting mixture is 875 kg/m3 (time taken = 1.5 h). 2 Once the reaction mixture has reached 95″C, a solid catalyst is added, and reaction takes place while the batch of reactants is stirred. The required conversion is 94% (time taken = 2.0 h). 3 ………………………………………………………………………………………. 4

many educational challenges both for new recruitsand also to continuously update the skills of those employed. However, the main focusof this paper is with those who use the electronic products (category B in figure 1).It is easy to lose sight of the needs of the much larger workforce that designs, builds andsustains the electronic systems. One of the reasons is that the work is no longer limitedto one industry segment. Positions that use electronics skills are now to be found in awide range of industries including biotechnology, health-care, manufacturing,entertainment, automotive and consumer products. Electronics technology is a keyenabler of all of these contemporary industries and is their critical path to meet the
