Since production data is “pushed” from thesponsor’s web server (See Figure 1), outside control of the sponsor's computers was eliminated.As a result, the university’s Web Site serves as a buffer and “fire-wall.” Additional security canbe achieved by programming data transmission computers so that they are not connected to morethan one other computer at a time.IX. AffordabilityThe software that was necessary was readily availability, and in several cases, was alreadypurchased. This dramatically cut the implementation cost. The affordability of this type ofsystem to the many small, new programs in manufacturing engineering and courses in appliedstatistics is one of the most important aspects of this

Audrey Boklage, PhD University of Texas at AustinIntroductionWhat is a makerspace?Academic makerspaces are prevalent in institutions across the world; specifically inundergraduate engineering programs. Makerspaces are informal, opt-in STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) spaces and are increasingly recognized for their potentialto increase student access to and engagement with STEM (e.g., Martin, 2015, Roldan et al.,2018, Wilkczynski et al, 2019). Over the past two decades, research has highlighted the benefitsof makerspaces, including engineering specific skills, such as prototyping, supporting studentdesign projects, entrepreneurship, and innovation, (Forest et al., 2014; Wilczynski et al., 2016
