inherent in 5-axis machining are tool collisions, surface finish and toolpath optimization. This last challenge is especially important as finding the most efficientmachining method can be very difficult given the extreme level of flexibility offered by thetechnology [4]. This problem of flexibility is not limited merely to 5-axis systems but is an issuefaced by CNC machining in general. Even something as simple as using different CAM systemsto process operations can result in different cycle times and based on how each system developsits machining strategy [5].Another important area of research in this field is the study of how to minimize errors due to thinpart deflection and vibration.

they implement ethics within their curricula.Our team consulted with professors at other institutions, including the University of Virginia,Olin College, and Bucknell University, who shared their own attempts at incorporating ethicswithin engineering curricula. Our research suggests that many engineering schools do notincorporate ethics explicitly into their first-year courses, although several are beginning to do so[18] [24]. Instead, most schools embed ethics in capstone design. While some offer a seminarthat focuses on ethics or feature it more prominently, these are not typically required forgraduation. Through interviews, we learned that faculty frequently teach engineering ethics usingcase studies and reflective essays.However, the

We learn about the WrightBrothers in history class, but never study the process that they went through to arrive at theirdesign. We admire great engineering feats such as theirs, but essentially, we graduate"engineering-deficient" students incapable of recreating them. The Wright Brothers are a favorite example to talk about when mentioning feats of the20th century and technology.

Three of the reports included failure mode analysis or fault treeanalysis. Other reports discussed proper material selection for safety considerations.From the exit surveys, there was also an indication that this goal was more effectivelyaddressed.

Students ofmathematics in graduate school are more likely to be aware of them. This set of rationalnumbers significantly reduces the computational time of several important functions. In thedays prior to high-speed computers, when calculations were essentially done by hand, theBernoulli numbers reduced the effort and number of mistakes for arduous calculations whichcould take days.
