Pilot Implementation of Teaching Factory in Graduate IME CourseOne of the major activities of the Teaching Factory project took place in an experimental class in theIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) Department. In IME 526, Advanced Topics inManufacturing System Design, 12 graduate students from varied disciplines (Industrial Engineering,Integrated Technology Management, and Engineering Management Program) were formed intoteams to test the feasibility and the proof of concept for an operational Teaching Factory.

taken. The students,in teams of two, then modeled the system in the software of choice (EES, MathCAD, Matlab,EXCEL, PARA and PERF) in an attempt to match the manufacturer’s specifications. Thisapplications laboratory required students to research the parameters necessary to model thisengine that were not part of the data set provided by the manufacturer. The research andmodeling encompassed areas such as technology level, efficiencies, fuel consumption, andperformance. The end result was a two-page report containing the students’ calculationscomparing the performance of the engine with the manufacturer’s specifications. Supportinggraphs and figures were included as appendices. The same type laboratory could be adapted forco-generation gas

-community may notbe able to keep up with the rapid evolvement or emergence of these technologies. Companiesmay use outsourcing or internal training to obtain the necessary expertise, but that does notalways solve the problem in a time or cost effective manner. While that might be a constraint, arelatively great number of potential expert users of a specific technology are supplied fromschools and universities. One solution would be to expose more engineering students to the newest technologies, suchas Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), while they are still in school. This can lead to anincrease in the supply of acquainted users, who can become experts at later times. The problemwith such a strategy is that a technology might not be

engineering is practiced [1]. This realization has led toa growing body of work documenting efforts towards the contextualization of engineeringeducation [3], [4]. Much of the literature tying engineering education to human or societal context stemsfrom the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) and Engineering Studies. Fundamentalto STS is the tenant that science and technology are not objective and isolated; rather the creationof new knowledge and technology are influenced by society, politics, and culture, and thesetechnologies in turn will have impacts on society [5]. Over time, this area of work has led toresearch that examines how integrating socio-technical thinking in the engineering classroom candevelop more holistic
