thoroughly. There is a logical path to befollowed in the realization of the product. The rubric can be most readily illustrated through thefollowing instructions that are issued to students undertaking a project to design a manufacturingsystem for a given product.9 The context is that student teams in a ‘production engineering’class fulfill the learning objectives for the course through a semester-long project. Student teamsdesign a production system for an existing product. The products have been as varied as caststeel flow control valves, printed circuit boards and fishing reels. Integrated into the fabric of theproject, students are challenged to critique the product design to improve manufacturability andreduce cost. The first three stages of

The students are presented with a problem to solve, and they must use several types oflearning as they work their way through the process, to reach a goal of cost estimating related tovarious manufacturing processes and products and developing budget proposals for analysis andevaluation of manufacturing capital expenditure.

and energy is at the center of what manufacturing engineers do, since acentral theme of manufacturing engineering is to take cost out of products and processes. This isdone by identifying the most appropriate and cost-efficient materials that will satisfy the designrequirements, and to make processes lean to reduce their cost. Both of these requirements makeit incumbent on the manufacturing engineer to lead in considering and evaluating alternativematerials and processes for any given application, and for manufacturing leadership to create theculture that fosters innovation and a positive change in the perception of manufacturing.The manufacturing engineer has an additional obligation, and that is to help design products thatare compelling to
