AC 2009-244: HANDS-ON PLASTIC PROCESSING FOR ALEAN-MANUFACTURING PROJECTDave Kim, Washington State University, VancouverYongha Kim, Washington State University, Vancouver Page 14.664.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Hands-on Plastic Processing for a Lean Manufacturing ProjectLean manufacturing has proven to be an effective strategy to increase productivity andcost competiveness in the manufacturing industry. Lean manufacturing has beenintegrated into the existing manufacturing curriculum. In a senior-level manufacturingcourse, hands-on plastic manufacturing experiments were implemented to allow thestudents to conduct small scale manufacturing, use value streaming
the investigation for such programs in their curricula. This research presents thedevelopment strategies created to instigate an Internet Design/Build class for the two schools. Thepaper relates the positive and negative components confronted during the development andimplementation of the overall class. Using available computer information technology resources,such as NetMeeting and MIRC32, the Design/Build class approach of study emphasizes themanagement of design, construction, planning, finance, and marketing, as well the absolute need forcommunication between the team members. Rather than face the traditional confrontation of theparties, this class is intended to strengthen the professional bonds, complementing each partners’strengths

confidence was critical for this participant: I think I just got the hang of it…I was like “Oh, maybe I can do this” because it seems my skills are up to par now…it was more like I knew that my skills weren’t there [initially] to be able to pursue AI/ML. But then afterwards once I had those skills because I was forced to [develop them] from the engineering curriculum, I realized that I could do it...However, for some, perseverance was not enough to develop these skills. The following individualrecognized their perseverance and growth mindset, but felt it wasn’t enough: I felt like I’ve been around people who I feel like have this better natural ability than I do, but I’m willing to like to put in the time and effort to try to do
focusing on the cloud capabilities, the software, and hardware. Having our threat modeltarget different capabilities will give us a more detailed outlook on the system's complexity whilebringing forth new threats that may have gone overlooked. With this capstone project, students areable to learn some in-demand hands-on skills while gaining experience working as a team. Theproject also motivates students to become critical thinkers, leading to job market opportunities.AcknowledgementThe authors of this work would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable time andcomments.

were performed. VM1 used Debian Linux and worked as theclient. The students used VM1 to attack VM2 or to analyze the results of captured attacks. VM2functioned as the server (target), running CentOS Linux. The students set up network defensesystems such as Snort from scratch in VM2 and used them to detect and defend against attacks.This approach to virtual labs differs from the centralized remote labs, in that the virtual lab isperformed not on university-provided remote servers, but on the students’ home computers. Itdiffers from the live CD solution, in that the students install the virtual machines inside the hostoperating system on their personal computers. The lab is portable because the virtual machinescan be moved to and be installed on

If this encyclopaedia is constantly used by the teacher as a key factor, students willget used to constantly use the reality they observe as their point of reference. The specifictextual competence acquired in this way will enhance their encyclopaedia so that whenapproaching other specific realities they will be able to develop other skills that in the longrun will combine in the general textual competence in science (figure 7

The solution of an allied problem4 was provided to thestudents to help them with the assigned project.Developments of many subsystems that comprise a complex engineering systeminvolve the numerical solution of boundary value problems. Many commerciallyavailable finite element analysis programs such as Ansys® are available to theengineer for solving many classes of boundary value problems. In order toeffectively use these commercial programs, the engineering curriculum at manyaccredited engineering schools train the engineer in the use of at least onecommercially available finite element analysis package.One important part of the training should enable the engineer to classify

abstract field, due to difficulty ofintegrating tangible and realistic experiments into electrical engineering curriculum. Sometimessetting up a laboratory for these experiments could be very expensive. Therefore, a lot of timeusing simulation tools is a good alternative to examine and visualize the realistic problems.However, the available simulation software may require vast technical proficiency, whichsometime impedes the inclination of students towards this area of study.In this paper we introduce a ray-tracing simulation tool that can be beneficial in teaching wavepropagation and wireless communication. Wireless InSite®, from Remcom®, is a site-specificwireless channel simulation tool based on ray-tracing method. This paper introduces

received from their peers. The studentsagreed GTA feedback was helpful in improving their MEA solutions and was more useful thanthe peer feedback. However, the students had contradictory perceptions of the level ofspecificity and vagueness in the GTA feedback. This study supports the notion that studentsneed training and education both in how to give feedback as well as how to respond to feedback.I. IntroductionInternationally, engineering educators have recognized the necessity of students acquiringteaming and communication skills, aptitude in engineering science and design, ability to applymathematics, and an ability to address open-ended, ambiguous problems1. To achieve thesecompetencies, one instructional approach that has been developed is

Each 4-credit se-mester course in the first year courses has been divided into two 2–credithalf-semester courses. In seventh week each student is required to take the “Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education AnnualConference & Exposition Copyright c 2001, American Society for EngineeringEducation” Page 6.148.3final for her course. A student is allowed to proceed to the next 2-creditcourse, only if she passes the course. Each 2–credit course is offered duringeach half of the semester. Along

Since ithas become clear that the rising cost of floods is not solely a function of changing weather patterns or aproblem that can be solved through engineering solutions alone, flood risk and associated losses canonly be understood and eventually reduced through integrated investigation across multiple disciplines,cultures, and international boundaries.

Web-based assessment engine marketed byBrownstone Learning that was developed to ease the creation and administration of assignmentsand tests to large classes. The writing assessment took approximately 15 hours to create andanother 15 hours to set up in the EDU system. Ongoing report generation and maintenance tookapproximately 10 additional hours.Writing Sample AnalysisThe overall approach of the Writing Sample Analysis followed the general methodology used bythe Nebraska Department of Education for collecting and scoring elementary school writingsamples as part of an overall state-wide assessment. Writing samples were obtained fromengineering students at the freshman, junior, and senior levels in order to evaluate students’abilities to

With the approachreported, Dennis6 noted, “As the client, the instructor can fire members from groups and causethem to become a group of one if peer evaluations indicate that there is a severe problem andthat they are not pulling their load.” In lieu of implementing an approach of this nature, the planfor the 2015 offering is to allow students to select their own groups. In this way, collaborativeteam environments should be promoted and individuals with a reputation for underperformingshould be more readily isolated.A key instructional component of the panels has
