The goals of the activities areto a) raise student awareness and stimulate interest in the topics and b) inspire studentsto pursue a degree in a new manufacturing-related college major at a Midwesternuniversity. The authors collected information on the existing activities from differentsources, such as the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) website, different professionaleducation websites of the top engineering universities in the United States, and others.The authors worked with the leadership from the Midwestern university’s academia-industry collaboration center and select manufacturing industry stakeholders to retrieveadditional activities.The content

maintaining and repairing the machine, the workers must now be familiar with four different automation systems that are likely to use different names and conventions to describe their operation. (Wait vs WAIT vs WAITING vs WAIT_A could be describing the same overall function in the controller programs.) In a troubleshooting scenario, the technician must now learn to connect and translate terms which diverts their effort from repairing the system. b. The topography of the system demonstrates that the conveyor language is being translated for use by the robot, then re-translated and transmitted forward to the outfeed and empty container

review of the fluid mechanics knowledge. The starting idea was based on the Gonzalez Hernandez’ et al. paper [13] 2. Design Considerations. a. Due to small scale demonstration unit, the dimensions of the test chamber were 6”x6” with a twelve-inch length. The team concluded that this size would be small enough to keep the overall size compact while big enough to accommodate future experiments. b. To determine an appropriate contraction ratio, the ratio of the wind tunnel inlet area to the test chamber's area. This value is critical to the wind tunnel's efficiency because it affects the volume of air drawn into the tunnel. A low contraction ratio
