datagathered through a data collection mechanism built into the software are also provided,suggesting a successful achievement of initial design goals.IntroductionDespite steadily increasing dependency of modern societies on technology, society-wideunderstanding of technology (necessary, for example, in informed and critical decision-making)is usually lacking. Since about 70 percent of Americans are past the school age, updating theirtechnological literacy requires access to opportunities outside of formal education. Youngergenerations have yet to develop their technological skills and interests, but opportunities for thatin a structured, pre-college education are limited. The importance of inducing technologicalliteracy and interests in younger

As part of this collaboration, students at MSU have beenworking with an existing smaller, older, factory testbed at MSU and learning from students at UMabout operating more modern and comprehensive factory hardware, controls, and software in thecontext of the RFT. One major goal of this activity is to provide students at MSU with practicalmanufacturing experiences beyond what could be made available at such a teaching school, andto serve as a model for other similar collaborations. Through this experience, MSU students (pri-marily undergrads) were able to work as part of a large research team, and learn from the researchexperience of the graduate students at UM. Students learned and worked together both remotelyand during extended site

Before traveling to Cambodia numerous contacts with government and NGO operationswere made to set up visits before arriving in country. However, these contacts, in the end werenot utilized, as these organizations seemed more interested in directing our work beyond thescope of our original plans and in limiting our visits to their own contacts. Therefore, wedecided to wait until we arrived in-country to make our own contacts and found great success infinding a variety of companies that were happy to speak with us.

A second reason for the R&R was to move students beyond simply performingmeasurements to a higher level of intellectual behavior by having students apply the informationpresented to a new problem2.

engineering is a liaison between design and production. They need to be proficient in communicating in both spheres and often to non-engineers. This is particularly true when either providing or receiving feedback (2g, 4b).2. Communication and collaboration skills are critical in particular communicating technical information to non-engineers (2.a-c).3. A critical skill is the ability to work through ambiguity (1j, 4d).4. A manufacturing engineer must be able to deal with conflict (4f).5. Skill is needed in identifying solutions to failures (1.c) and getting buy-in for the proposed solution (2a-c, e).6.

The model addresses the development of the studentfrom pK-12 through higher education to participate in the workforce.

The investigator extends the study to monitorthe static component of cutting force through use of segmental averages and wavelettransformations in micro end-milling7. Failure of a tool occurs very quickly if the cutting forceincreases beyond the strength of the tool. When cutting force increases during cutting, it deflectsthe fragile tool.

, 2021 MAKER: Design of a Virtual CNC Mill by Unity Software AbstractIt requires a lot of hands-on experience to learn how to operate a computer numerical control (CNC)mill. Virtual Reality (VR) can serve as a way to teach how to properly operate it. The goal of thisresearch is to create a virtual CNC mill that can provide interactive training for students. The Unitysoftware was used for this goal. Unity is a game development engine used to produce video games,utility software, and more. The functionality of the CNC simulation was created with C# scripting.The visual representation of the CNC mill was built through 3D modeling, and then transferredinto FBX 3D models which are compatible
