Education (ATE) program. * The NCE/AME ismanaged through the Advanced Integrated Manufacturing Center (AIM Center), a partnershipbetween Sinclair Community College and the University of Dayton. One major goal of theNCE/AME is to develop novel curriculum materials for the manufacturing engineeringtechnology field that are based on constructivist principles. This paper will describe the basicnature of the instructional materials, curriculum design, and educational services offered.A Novel Modular Curriculum for Manufacturing Engineering TechnologyThe primary product of the NCE/AME is the design of a novel instructional module developmentprocess called The Module ArchitectureÓ1.This process is being used to develop instructional modules for an

curriculum in photonics including optics and photonics laboratory. This hasincreased student enrollment year by year thereby contributing to the growing portion of theskilled workforce in the photonics industry [9]. The ATE project on “Technical Education forRural Community” at Hopkinsville Community College has improved math coursework foradvance manufacturing technicians. This project addressed the deficiency of math foundationsfor the technicians by updating their coursework matching the requirements from the industry[10].Furthermore, the program funds a few large initiatives each year as ATE Centers. Theygenerally have a large budget and scope of the work. For example, the FLATE (FloridaAdvanced Technological Education) Center collaborated with
advanced manufacturing area. We recruitedfifteen high school and community college STEM educators for a six-week immersive summerresearch experience in the state-of-the-art robotics laboratory. At the end of their researchworkshop, they developed customized hands-on advanced manufacturing curricula for theirstudents. This project produced fifteen competent high school and community college educators,who are capable of blending research with educational activities at their institutions, motivatingstudents for STEM degrees, and building long-term collaborative partnerships in the region. Thispaper will share some of their successful research projects, how they translated their research intoactionable curriculum modules, and some lessons learned from
Computer Aided Design & Graphics by teaching students with hands-on type of educational practices and laboratory exercises in the area of FMS. A MiniCIM 3.2 Amatrol has been selected as the equipment to teach FMS. This equipment is used to modify the curriculum and nine courses and labs in the IET department to enhance the students’ learning. The FMS project serves also as a starting point to accomplish a six-year development plan of the Manufacturing Laboratory in the IET department. The goal is to complete a fully Computer Integrated Manufacturing system in six years. The strategy used is aligning students’ class projects and/or students’ senior projects with the goals of the Manufacturing Laboratory. These class projects

Moreover, the test results illustrate that there is no significantdifference between the control and experimental groups. The findings from theaforementioned analysis provide an indication of how to effectively study the online bio-manufacturing laboratory problem in our future investigation.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by the US National Science Foundation (CCLI Phase I DUE-0737539) and the US Dept. of Education (Award # P120A050087 and #P116B080100A).The authors wish to

Much of the previous literature has focused on the curriculum change or the presentationmethod of the course in the class. Even the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) have changed the evaluation criteria to bring “quality assurance in higher education” [25].However, only a limited number of studies in literature have discussed the development of learningmodules to teach design and manufacturing and the integration of these modules acrossengineering curricula.

In the course of theirengineering education, our most involved students learn basic fabrication techniques, team andgroup project management, solid modeling and analysis techniques, and finish by producing,testing, and competing in a project that accurately reflects what they will come up against inreal world engineering.

It is therefore critical for thecurrent and future US workforce to be cognizant and capable of such interdisciplinary domainknowledge and skills.To meet this workforce need, this project will develop curricula, personnel and communities incyber-enabled smart manufacturing.

applications. There are cases win which PLC courses have been developed to address theneeds of specific types of engineering students, for instance electrical engineering students9 orindustrial engineering students10, to cite a few examples. In addition, innovative approaches havebeen utilized to enhance instruction in the area of PLC’s by using web-based instruction andmulti-media simulation11. Despite all of the advances and developments in the instruction ofPLC’s, educators need to develop PLC courses which include both the programming basics andadvanced applications involving integration with sensors and other components such as visionand robotics.1.2 Technology Curriculum Structure at Northern Illinois University The NIU Manufacturing
funding agencies have investedextensively in projects promoting various forms of experiential learning. Noteworthy amongthese was an NSF grant to the Manufacturing Engineering Education Partnership, whichdeveloped an integrated practice-based engineering curriculum called the Learning Factory (LF).The LF balances analytical and theoretical knowledge with physical facilities for productrealization in an industrial-like setting. It stresses hands-on engineering activities and industrycollaboration, and offers students an alternative path to a degree that directly prepares them forcareers in manufacturing4-5. A drawback of the LF model however is its high implementationcost, which limits its transferability.2. Development of the MILL Model
