the basis for along-term look at the different products manufacturing enterprise produce and the potentialconsequences associated with these products during their life cycles. The key to the successfulimplementation of PSM throughout industry is to provide the manufacturing engineering studentan education that views PSM as an extension to the more conventional design and processtechnology curriculum. As PSM becomes more universally accepted by the manufacturingindustry, engineering students with even a basic exposure to the established practices of PSMwill be sought after to fill newly established positions within an organization. It is therefore, theresponsibility of the engineering and technology programs to incorporate PSM into
