works increasingly complex. On top of that, globalization and advancesin information technology have added yet another layer of complexity to manufacturing andsupply chain management. In this paper, we present results of an exploratory study ofmanufacturing engineering technology curricula of key select 4-year and 2-year colleges in theUS. More specifically, this paper focuses on the institutes of those States that are among thehighly ranked states with respect to manufacturing outputs in the U.S. The paper presents theresults of two types of survey. First, through website exploration, it examines the curricula of thecommunity colleges and 4-year institutes that offer manufacturing technology programs todetermine if they offer any course on

majors. Different academic programs may have different expectations about theskills that their students should master. Project leadership must establish common goals,structures, and schedules while also remaining agile enough to respond to arising needs.Multidisciplinary project-based-learning offers many benefits for engineering students, it alsopresents its own set of challenges that need to be overcome for students to fully benefit.This work builds on previous scholarship from the Multidisciplinary Engineering Division thathas addressed multidisciplinary project-based learning [4-6]. We discuss the management of amultidisciplinary project-based-learning program that created an immersive, interactive sensor-driven dynamic art exhibit called
students’ capstone projects in themanufacturing department of Arizona State University East. This program involves metalworking and mechanical manufacturing. The following seven tools: (a) employee participation,(b) process safety information, (c) process hazard analysis (PHA), (d) operating procedures, (e)pre-start up safety review, (f) mechanical integrity, (g) management of change, would beappropriate for in-depth coverage in our capstone project. For example, early this year (march1999) the students designed and built a retrofit kit for converting a propane powered forkliftengine used by Boeing Company to a hydrogen powered engine where the battery and the liftingpower is provided by hydrogen power.

]. This criterion explicitlycaptures the need for introducing project management and effective teamwork skills tograduating engineers. Considering engineering programs use capstone design projects to addressthis criterion, it is important to recognize how well our students meet this expectation. Whileproject management and teamwork may be introduced in the first and second-year engineeringcourses, how well do students apply these concepts during their capstone experience?Team management is an essential skill if these students are to remain in high-demand and beglobally competitive [5,6,7,8]. Project management is important because it improves the chancesof achieving the desired result, ensures efficient use of resources, helps the team to stay

It is important to stress that the aim of the educationalprogram is only achieved several years after the graduation from the referred program.To achieve the educational program’s aim, it is important to define the profile and thecompetences of the graduate on the moment of graduation, also known as the educationalprogram learning outcomes.Once the educational program learning outcomes are set

we can improve our curriculum.It is common practice in undergraduate engineering programs for students to participate inmultiple projects during their studies. The ABET requirement for a “curriculum culminating in amajor design experience” [1] for accredited BS programs often means a senior capstone activitythat involves a substantial project-based component. While projects may differ in their scope,complexity, and size, a key factor for improving success is some form of project management.Frequently though, students use an ad hoc project management approach, as they lack experiencein formal techniques. Regardless if the project is simple or sophisticated, students need to reducethe given problem into logical tasks, divide responsibilities

What Should be DoneAs Engineering Technology programs continue to evolve, it is imperative that graduateeducation be considered as an important element. The need for appropriate graduate educationwill become a priority in remaining competitive in the international market place6. Institutionsof higher education should facilitate the transfer of new technologies from laboratory to theworkplace not only by developing a strong base of technological knowledge and skills but alsothrough directing research13.
