Main Factor

To obtain a degree in manufacturing, students traditionally faced with a decision to either join a manufacturing engineering or manufacturing technology program. Normally they make their decision based on several factors such as: the employability at that time, degree of difficulties, the degree plan and its suitability to their current living style, etc. One of the main factor that has a large weight in making their decision is the amount of math. involved in each degree. Students with less desire to get involved in the theoretical engineering science normally join the technology track while the rest join the engineering track. In this research a new degree called manufacturing engineering Technologies is proposed. The purpose of the new degree is to produce a super quality graduate who is capable of handling both the theoretical and the practical aspects in the manufacturing environment. This degree is not intended to compromise between manufacturing engineering and manufacturing technology, it is rather intended to generate a higher quality graduate. Traditionally, manufacturing engineering education focuses on the theoretical, mathematics, and experimentation aspect while manufacturing technology focuses on how to use, mange, maintain the different engineering tools and systems. The proposed degree is intended to produce a graduate that is capable of handling the theoretical and the practical issues very well. The expected performance of this graduate is to be a leader in product and system R&D, cost reduction and innovation initiatives.

Abstract Evolution of manufacturing technology has been a definitive indicator of human society’s development. From the wheels that started the spree to the world of machines that have revolutionized the manufacturing processes, manufacturing tools have been indicative of eras of development. In this paper, we have focused on the branch of engineering that deals with manufacturing - specifically its structure in India. In this study we investigate some premier government institutes with respect to Manufacturing Engineering Education. We have also included the technical education model at different education level.

The advantages and importance of university–industry collaboration, particularly in curriculum design and delivery, are well-known. However, although curriculum development models are available in the literature, very few are sufficiently concrete to be applicable in practice or are generalizable beyond their discipline of origin. In this paper, a co-operative model based on the Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle is presented and described. An example of its application in the curriculum design of two courses in welding within a Manufacturing Engineering Master’s program is detailed. The model was found successful based on the evaluation of the courses by students, teachers, and the industrial representatives involved. Therefore, it proved to be an effective tool for bridging the gap between industrial needs and academia in the field of Manufacturing Engineering education. At the same time, the methodology is generalizable and is applicable to any field of education.

Versus Communication ◽  
Constant Source

The intellectual content and social activity of engineering product development are a constant source of surprise, excitement, and challenge for engineers. When our students experience product-based-learning (PBL), they experience this excitement (Brereton et al., 1995). They also have fun and perform beyond the limits required for simple grades. We, their teachers, experience these things too. Why, then, are so few students and faculty getting the PBL message? How, then, can we put the excitement back in engineering education? In part, we think this is because of three persistent mistakes in engineering education:1. We focus on individual students.2. We focus on engineering analysis versus communication between engineers.3. We fail to integrate thinking skills in engineering science and engineering practice.

The Impact

The authors examine the changes and opportunities in the educational environment that will occur as packaged courseware and virtual access to laboratories are assimilated into the engineering curriculum worldwide. The impact on Universities and in turn on Canadian industry will be major unless there is a coordinated effort that can turn the challenge into an opportunity. The opportunity, the authors believe, is to use this new material to allow innovative approaches to education that use Design to direct student learning. The major benefits would be a greater appreciation of technology and practice and significantly improved communication skills, (both of which are regarded as essential by industrial employers). The authors believe that the engineering science background would be enhanced rather than weakened by the approach suggested.
