| Abstract | As manufacturing companies have made known their need for engineers who can communicate well, work on diverse teams, and engage in concurrent engineering, the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department at the University of Maine has responded to those needs by revising and updating its manufacturing courses. “Manufacturing Technology” (MET 270) is designed for second year students, Fall semester. MET 270 was previously taught as a lecture course describing a wide range of manufacturing processes. Student teams presented studies of local companies at the end of the course. MET 270 now focuses on the concurrent engineering of products. The technical content is presented using a variety of media including lecture, cooperative learning activities, web-based training, films, and student tours. Communication and team skills are practiced during in-class exercises. For three families of processes, small student teams design simple products, develop CADD drawings and engineering analyses to support the designs, and describe in detail how the products will be fabricated and what the impacts of the fabrication processes are on the designs. The teams submit written reports and make oral presentations to the class describing their products. The class syllabus is designed to support the new ABET criteria for accrediting Engineering Technology programs. |
