the environmentalperformance of a product from raw material through production, use and end-of-life phase. Asenvironmental awareness increases, industries and businesses are assessing how their activitiesaffect the environment. Society has become concerned about the issues of natural resourcedepletion and environmental degradation. Many businesses have responded to this awareness byproviding “greener” products and using “greener” processes. The environmental performance ofproducts and processes has become a key issue, which is why some companies are investigatingways to minimize their effects on the environment. Many companies have found it advantageousto explore ways of moving beyond compliance using pollution prevention strategies

In recentyears virtually all markets around the world demand that products be engineered to meet localrequirements and preferences. Incorporating all these concerns a survey was done to see thehiring trend for the proposed manufacturing

Recent hires (8 in total) have shifted the faculty mix to one that is now predominantly Ph.D. qualified. However, most have some industrial experience, and all have backgrounds that will help in promoting these core values and mission of the department. The old technology programs were effective in their hands-on approach in large part because of a collegial and collaborative environment that existed between faculty and the department’s highly trained technical staff. This was to be maintained in the new programs. The concerns of staff and their role in supporting the new programs was thus a

For example, if the engineering students appeared reluctantto ask the DPT students in-depth questions concerning a child’s diagnosis and medical history,the engineering faculty member would initiate a line of questioning to help uncover thisinformation. The engineering faculty member would also interact with the child and family andhold the child during the session to model respectful exchanges with the child and family.During design meetings, if the DPT students were not asking the engineering students to fullyexplain engineering concepts (the merits of brushless versus brushed motors for example

By tracing the programmer’s trajectory, the robot controller can furtheranalyze and reduce the noise from human demonstration [6] to improve the robustness of theresulting path. Although this method is intuitive, it is not as popular as the aforementionedmethods due to its need of special hardware to detect human movement through camera or forcesensors and optimize the robot path. Additionally, the safety of the programmer or the operatorin such a closed-range, collaborative environment has been a concern of the manufacturingindustry [7].

We in turn kept the leads fully up to date on any developments or problems the project seemed to be facing, and these problems started amounting quickly. First came the issue with the designs from Phase one; the issue being that the first group of METs had apparently done a very poor job with the design and the new group had to redesign nearly every aspect of the printer to fit the design requirements. These designs included correcting multiple issues with the base holding a heated print bed, fixing the axis that would move the hot end of the printer in a housing, multiple issues
