searchingfor qualified employees. The skills needed by workers in manufacturing have changed as havethe skills needed by its leadership. Indeed, graduate-level education must provide a pool oftechnical professionals with effective management skills and leadership abilities. Recognizingthis, one university NAIT-accredited technology department developed an innovative graduateprogram designed to provide students with a broad base of knowledge and skills needed toeffectively manage and control production in manufacturing environments. The resulting degreeis a Master of Science program with a major in Manufacturing Systems Technology. Thisprogram’s purpose is to produce industrial leaders who 1) make decisions to integrate appropriatetechnologies, 2
competition (A SAEevent in which the students compete with “miniature” off-road vehicles they have built.) Thevehicle was entirely designed and fabricated by the club according to SAE guidelines. It wasinnovative in that it was designed with hydraulic drive instead of a mechanical transmission.Unfortunately this design along with a very conservative frame (very strong – very heavy)caused the vehicle to be extremely heavy. The club did successfully compete in the SAEcompetition and drew many positive comments about the design; however the weight of thevehicle caused the performance of the vehicle to bepoor. (Competition vehicles use a standard 10hpgasoline engine and the vehicle weighed in at 750pounds. The next vehicle they built weighed in at
