Introduction and BackgroundIn 2009 and 2010, the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Department at the Illinois Instituteof Technology held two workshops titled: “Integrating Innovation into Engineering Education.”The workshops were part of the Illinois Coalition for Manufacturing Innovation (ICMI), which issponsored by the Small Business Administration and includes Argonne National Laboratory,Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, and the Chicago Manufacturing Center. The goals of ICMIare to incorporate innovation education into the engineering curricula, to initiate a series ofcollaborative projects with small to medium-sized manufacturers, and to work with researchinstitutions to not only facilitate this effort, but also spread its successes nationally
engageyoung adults.The findings of the survey indicated these manufacturers had five overarching needs: 1)employees with strong soft skills were in the highest of demand; 2) employees with basictechnical education and machine skills were in high demand; 3) specialized/advanced skills werein demand, but skill needs varied by employer; 4) training and apprenticeships were a self-identified need; and 5) millennials have very low interest in manufacturing as a career.In order to ensure these, and other, requisite skills and competencies are obtained by students,close partnerships between curriculum developers, faculty, administrators, and industry partnersare necessary, and are all planned as part of the proposed program. Further reinforcement comesfrom
A Reborn Product Design and Manufacturing Program Hugh Jack, Associate Professor School of Engineering, Grand Valley State UniversityAbstractThe Manufacturing Program at Grand Valley State University has been redesigned to include afocus on products. This addresses the current challenges with recruiting students by creating amore understandable and approachable image. It also addresses the ‘outsourcing’ trends inmanufacturing by revising the curriculum. This paper describes the reasoning behind the changesand the structure of the revised program.IntroductionLike most ABET accredited Manufacturing Engineering programs in the country, we were seeinga decline in enrollment

.‚ Engineering programs should be accredited at both the B.S. and M.S. levels so that the M.S. degree can be recognized as the engineering “professional” degree.‚ Institutions should take advantage of the flexibility inherent in the EC2000 accreditation criteria of ABET, Incorporated in developing curricula, and students should be introduced to the “essence” of engineering early in their undergraduate careers.‚ Engineering educators should introduce interdisciplinary learning in the undergraduate curriculum and explore the use of case studies of engineering successes and failures as a learning tool.‚ The engineering education establishment should participate in efforts to public understanding of engineering and the technology literacy of the public

It is therefore essential that engineering graduates have anorientation towards this globalization and are prepared to operate effectively within it.”37This curriculum will enhance our students’ education by providing them a unique opportunity towork on multidisciplinary teams and attack global issues. Presenting students with problems thataffect the world around us will always create more compassionate graduates. In this case, thereare also best practices that promote this type of curriculum.The Engineering Technology degrees offered by the School of Engineering and Technology areaccredited by ABET.

Third, the curriculum includes a strong study of theengineering sciences as evidenced by the core engineering concepts of analytic reasoning,physics based mechanics and thermodynamics, and chemistry based materials science. Thisbasis of the study of engineering science has a strong footing in the evolution of engineeringeducation after World War II and during the space race2. Finally, the UW-Stout curriculumbuilds a technical toolbox that emphasizes engineering practice in industrial applications, therebyallowing the graduates to maintain manufacturers’ competitiveness in today’s globalmarketplace. Again, this emphasis is supportive of the current shift in engineering education asdescribed

During the lecture and subsequent class discussion of the processes under review, students are expected to add to the transfer of knowledge by sharing points and information gleaned from the digital sources and their textbook. The lecture is supported by a weekly hands-on laboratory. Students are questioned, in a non-test environment, while working on their lab projects about relate theories and concepts.IntroductionIn an industrial Engineering curriculum, a manufacturing processes course meets three categoriesof students’ employment needs after graduation: (1) Students whose professional career directlyinvolves

as a waste oftime that have nothing to do with CAD systems. A better approach might be to simply state factssuch as: “You are now juniors, therefore I expect a higher level of work from you. It is also timefor you to learn how to be a leader and not a follower. Make the best decisions you can and livewith the consequences.” These are process education concepts put in concrete terms that theaverage technology student should be able to relate to. When evaluating and assessing thestudents, hold them to a level they would be expected of a new hire in industry.Conclusion:While the results were not quite what was expected or hoped for, we still feel it is in the studentsbest interest to pursue the integration of a more active learning environment
tolerances becoming almost an afterthought.Although most engineering students are taught materials science as a fundamental science course,the curriculum downstream does not foster the incorporation of these principles into thesystematic selection of the most appropriate material for a certain shape and function, or thecriterion-based selection of the optimal manufacturing process. Tighter integration between theintroductory materials courses and the downstream design and manufacturing courses is just partof the solution. With the advances in materials and manufacturing technology, a plethora ofmaterials and processes has evolved. Undergraduate courses in design and manufacturing cannotprovide detailed coverage of all materials and processes, and

outlined.2. The Traditional Approach Traditionally, manufacturing engineering and technology courses have been taughtpresenting materials in a sequential manner. these are numerous educational materialsfrom which to select and most instructors were themselves taught in this fashion. theadvantages of this approach are the ability to cover a large amount of material in arelative short period of time and to be sure that a comprehensive approach to coverageis possible. However, the limitations to this traditional approach are many. For example,this approach does not focus on products, which to a large degree is what manufacturingis about. It is left up to the student integrate the various pieces to see how they fittogether. This approach does not
