When asked if he would be interested in bringing aclass to tour our Industrial Power Transmission and Control laboratory, our phone callwas answered with a slightly skeptical – perhaps. The teacher wanted to visit us first anddetermine the usefulness of bringing a class to campus.His skepticism resulted from a fear that a highly theoretical environment wouldintimidate and turn-off his students. He was however, searching for a method tomotivate and challenge his classes. Immediately upon arriving, he began

Themanufacturers group was identified by respondents who listed ‘manufacturer’ as an employer.The Academic group was identified as those who listed ‘Educator’ as their primary role. Thenumbers are a total of first and second priorities for those groups. This separation was seen asvaluable because it captures the agreement or mismatch of priorities between educators andprofessionals.The results in Table 4 address the needs from an industry perspective, using recognized sectornames.

Costs of designing and developing a new product oftenrepresent a significant part of the total cost of the product. Rapid prototyping can reduce thiscomponent of overall cost as well as reduce significantly the time-to-market factor. [9]From an engineering and engineering technology educational viewpoint, the rapid prototypingprojects will allow students to use their own creativity to arrive at a unique solution to a problem.

Although, originally developed for manufacturing processes,the tool has been effectively applied to improve business processes also.
