Session 3263 TEACHING AN ADVANCED PROCESSES COURSE USING AN INDUSTRY PROJECT Karen E. Schmahl Miami UniversityA semester-long course in advanced manufacturing processes can barely scratch the surface inteaching students the many emerging technologies. An alternative approach to such a course hasthe students learning a single process very well, thus “learning what is takes to learn” a newprocess. This knowledge can then be applied to any process encountered. Senior students inMiami University’s Manufacturing Engineering program were given the opportunity

implementing a predictive model to generate an alert of potentialstudent failure in engineering mechanics courses. A prediction model is developed based onregression analysis and is used to predict students' final course grades based on their activitiesearly in the semester. In general, a predictive model needs a refined and standardized data set inorder to achieve meaningful results. The data set used for the grade prediction includes students'performance in the formative and summative assessments during the first four weeks of thesemester as well as their class participation and homework completion. The training data wascollected in two semesters where the course was offered in-person in large sections with morethan 100 students per section; then
