Manufacturing processes are becoming more autonomous, requiring lessoperator intervention in daily operations1-3. Industrial robots are good examples of flexibleautomation. Manufacturing engineers need to integrate other technologies with the objective ofextracting from robots the flexibility they can offer.

The topic of queueing theory in operations research is used to illustratethe importance of simulation as a problem-solving tool. Concepts and techniques of simulationmodeling are covered. It also requires statistical concepts and techniques to obtain representativedata, to apply the data and statistics to the modeling, and evaluate the results. To help the courselearning, term projects are usually assigned to the students. The authors have been teaching thiscourse

I also conducted research, in conjunction withH. Scott Fogler, into the use and development of virtual reality for chemical engineeringeducation. This research was conducted with undergraduate student programmers, and produceda number of virtual-reality based educational modules.
