from underrepresented groups and averaged academicachievement. The program objectives are to: a) Enhance the teachers' professional knowledge by providing unique research experiences in modern and advanced manufacturing, b) Use a design thinking approach to help teachers integrating new research knowledge into their class /laboratory activities while motivating young students to pursue engineering careers, c) Support the school infrastructure for long term partnership, and d) Enhance the schools' quality and performance for continuous collaboration with the host university.This paper presents the program structures of the last two summers 2018-2019, feedback fromparticipants, and
classes, a simulationgame was played in class. This idea stemmed from feedback from students whotook this class in the past. They wanted an opportunity to apply the knowledgegained from class to real life situation in a more fun way than doing a classproject. The simulation was a better way to have students acquire learning byapplying than by doing a group project. With the simulation game, the entire classhad an uniform experience and the faculty could control the concepts that studentsneed to be able to use. In a group project, this was not always possible becausewith the real world problem, the group and the faculty are not always sure of allthe concepts that will manifest in the project. B.

section with the closed-ended project were only surveyed afterthe course. Each student was asked to evaluate the effectiveness of four types of courseprojects—Closed-ended (Closed), Open-ended paper (Open Paper), Non-sponsored design andbuild (Non-sponsor D&B), and Sponsored design and build (Sponsored D&B). The survey wasconducted on a Likert scale with 1 being, “Not at all effective” and 5 being, “Extremelyeffective”. The questions asked were, 1. How effective were the projects you completed at reinforcing course content? 2. How effective were the projects at enhancing your creativity? 3. How effective were the projects at enhancing your open-ended problem solution skills? 4. How effective were the projects you completed at
the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education [3,4, 5, 7, and 9].Most of the questions was directly involved with checking students’ knowledge and fewquestions was of Likert-type items from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5).

differenttypes of digital manufacturing technology. El-Mounayri and Aw et al. [2] had developed a virtualmanufacturing laboratory of CNC milling. The laboratory environment provided the students: (a)access to a fully-functional virtual CNC milling machine, (b) training on the key operations of theCNC machine, (c) a lecture describing the components of the milling machine, and (d) a lecturedescribing the concepts of CNC milling. This virtual CNC machine was enabled by three softwaremodules: (1) a CNC Milling machine simulator, (2) a virtual-environment display engine, and (3)an intelligent-agent engine. The three modules was running on a single computer in a seamlessweb-based framework, which allowed students to access and run the virtual CNC machining

One of the major unaddressed concerns of the owners of open source3D printers was the waste associated with printing and how the waste can be recycled or reused.Even if a print comes out perfectly there are support materials for any overhang structures and agrid that helps the part grip the surface that it is printing on.

students. The students within each group did the experiments and datacollection together. However, each group member was required to submit a separate lab reportindividually. The lab report was graded based on its content, format, and language.Because lasers were involved in the experiments, the students were given laser safety trainingbefore the experiments. Also, during the experiments, the operation of the laser itself was mostlycarried out by the teaching assistant, who is also a graduate student of the author.The schematic of the system used in two experiments is shown in Fig.1 (a) and a real photo ofthe system is given in Fig. 1 (b). The laser module can be operated either in continuous mode orpulsed mode, and the laser beam is expanded by

Educators such as Bird and Sieber (2005) suggest that there are a number of reasons thatcan justify the teaching ethics to undergraduate (UG) engineering students and argue that thefollowing are the key reasons for necessity of teaching ethics at UG level: (a) many public policydecisions are based on scientific reasoning and findings; (b) engineers are also part of societyand they work to improve the lives of human beings; and (c) there could be huge personalinterest and “conflicting professional interests” in a number of projects in which an engineer isinvolved.

software, further optimization is required by doing a series of testruns.Even for small-manufacturing runs, this approach can be applied. The performance baselinesmake a very good starting point to help use the machine’s capabilities fully. A well-plannedapplication of HPM can see a 50% or better cycle time reduction, increasing the manufacturingthroughput by a factor of two. The time expended in applying HSM methodologies pays offalmost immediately, since the performance gains can be applied to manufacturing processes forboth existing and new parts.Bibliography1.

The project’s focus wasoriginally on the “big picture,” but after discovering many implementation challenges thecompletion of the RFID reader section became team’s primary focus (see Appendix B). The final phase of system development involved the design of an enclosure for thecomplete RFID reader and the testing of the entire system in varying environmental situations.Each phase led the team to a testable product and each had “use cases” that defined how the userinteracts with the system. Using the experience gained from each phase, the team learned how togauge the
