However there has been relatively little research on collaborative system designin the area of manufacturing.To appropriately leverage collaborative technologies for manufacturing system design education,a better understanding of how users work within virtual environments is needed.

Images usingMATLABAbstractThermal spray has been widely used in aerospace and manufacturing industries for a variety ofapplications, especially for coating technology. The process-structure-property correlations to thecoating technology are very important for achieving lifetime durability and sustainability. Animportant measure of coating integrity is the porosity of the surface structure. Traditionallyporosity of the deposit is obtained by microscopy of the surface and the use of software based ongrayscale threshold setting. This paper evaluates the grayscale threshold method using MATLABfor determining porosity on test images of a thermal barrier coating (TBC). Also, it is found thatthe porosity of test images can be assessed within 0.5% by

relationship of engineering education tothe larger system from many different perspectives, I adopt a philosophical perspective. Thereason for approaching this problem from philosophy is that these discussions—the purpose,meaning, influence, and value of engineering education as it intersects the larger system—are atthis time conceptually imprecise. An assertion of the paper is that we currently lack a shared,meaningful conceptual ontology to discuss such issues which may cause us to “talk around eachother” in our attempts to rethink engineering education. Philosophy provides a method to gatherand translate these concepts, then begin to understand their claims and limits of these claims.This manuscript focuses on how engineering is defined for the
