Program IntroductionAt the beginning of the course students are given a brief introduction to each of the programs –electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. The sessions are taught bya faculty member from the corresponding program area, with each session taking four classperiods.

of the Sintered Laser Prototyping process can actuallyproduce sintered metal parts with higher strength values than the original parts in some case s.This process is often used for molds for limited production. Since the sintering process leaves aporous surface some lubricant storage is possible for bearings also. Another use for a prototypeis as a replacement part in and of itself. A prototype can often substitute for broken parts that areunder low stresses in use. Particularly helpful in this regard is the use of a CMM to reverseengineer the broken part back to a 3-D CAD file. The CAD file is then used to prototype thepart. If the Rapid Prototyping process used permits the use of wax as a build material then lostwax casting is possible

This somewhat daunting set of goals was in fact achieved through a strategy that incorporated team design, parallel establishment of specialized ’expert teams’, partnership with industry, and the establishment of a hardware/software infrastructure that helped students succeed at these new and unfamiliar tasks. The paper describes the faculty effort required in prepara- tion for and during this course, the particulars of the implementation, and how the course has evolved over several years.

Computer technology commonly used in civil engineering practicemust be included to achieve this. To meet the needs of employers, students need familiarity withcurrent computer software, as well as an understanding of theories and analysis methods used bythe software. Educators must carefully balance the coverage of theory and classical solutionswith computer applications to provide students the background they need for their profession.IntroductionMany educators rely on their own experiences as students and the material presented intextbooks to select topics covered in their courses.

Our goalis to train and certify our faculty in the latest technologies, enabling them to guide students indeveloping integrated smart manufacturing systems that utilize industrial robots and PLCs fortasks like material handling, painting, assembly, and CNC machining.

Even standard physicaldemonstrations have been rethought and scientifically examined. PER research has found thatstudent prior knowledge (and misconceptions) can interfere with correct observations. Evenwith the best executed physical demonstrations, pedagogy matters. Recently, Miller, et al,examined the timing of student predictions and found that “students are 23% more likely toobserve a demonstration correctly if they predict the outcome first.” 5 Predictions can often be driven by intuition, especially in mechanics where manyconcepts are supported by everyday observations.

Since engineers doing manufacturing systemsintegration are expected to be able to interface well with their counterparts in the “traditional” engineeringdisciplines, they need to know the vocabulary, models, basic theories and assumptions that these“counterparts” will be using. To provide these abilities to our students, courses need to be developed that canexpose students to these issues while reinforcing their relevance in manufacturing.Challenges
