Integrating Undergraduate Learning in Engineering and Business to Improve Manufacturing Education

将工程和商业本科学习相结合以改善制造教育

基本信息

项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national interest by improving undergraduate manufacturing education. Manufacturing contributes enormously to the U.S. and world economy, including through creation of high paying jobs. This project intends to improve manufacturing education by helping undergraduate students develop a system view of manufacturing. Successful delivery of a new product to market involves a series of steps that include design, construction, implementation, and management. Although companies understand this big picture, engineering and business graduates often fail to realize the connection between these key steps. This lack of understanding stems in part from the failure of undergraduate engineering and business education programs to connect these steps in their curricula. To address this gap, this project will develop learning modules for different stages of product development that will emphasize the inter-dependencies between the stages of the product life cycle. Each learning module will include design, process, system, and business components and feature modeling, simulation-based learning, virtual reality, and hands-on experiences. These modules will be integrated into engineering (industrial, mechanical, and electrical) and business (management information science) courses. It is expected that this approach will enable students to better understand product manufacturing as an interdependent system, as well as improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. The project has three specific aims: 1) Design a set of cohesive learning modules that introduce key manufacturing stages, from product design to information systems; 2) Cultivate students’ system thinking skills as they simulate the complete product cycle, and critique and reflect on product design to remove downstream constraints; and 3) Use simulation and modeling activities to help students recognize and engage in interdisciplinary collaboration that leads to development of professional skills. Product design will focus on graphical, analytical. and computer modeling of a new product (a bicycle), taking into consideration aesthetics, ergonomics, dynamics, and mechanical properties. Based on their product design, students will select manufacturing materials and processes to successfully produce the components that make up the product. They will then model a manufacturing system comprised of the required technology and labor. Finally, they will use information systems, including a modern Enterprise Resource Planning system, to demonstrate how to manage and execute an integrated process to procure materials, manufacture components, and deliver the product to the end consumer. Following pilot testing and iterative refinement, the modules will be integrated into an interdisciplinary curriculum in project life cycle management. A quasi-experimental design will be used to investigate the impact of the new curriculum on the decision-making processes of students from diverse educational backgrounds. This project has the potential to educate future engineers who can apply advanced modeling methods and working with supporting information systems and technology, thus contributing to the quality of the nation’s STEM workforce. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该项目旨在通过改善本科制造教育来为国家利益服务。制造业为美国和世界经济做出了巨大贡献,包括通过创造高薪工作。该项目旨在通过帮助本科生开发制造系统观点来改善制造教育。成功地将新产品交付到市场上涉及一系列步骤,包括设计,构建,实施和管理。尽管公司了解这一大局,但工程和商业毕业生通常无法实现这些关键步骤之间的联系。缺乏理解的一部分,部分原因是本科工程和商业教育计划未能将这些步骤连接到其课程中。为了解决这一差距,该项目将为产品开发的不同阶段开发学习模块,这将强调产品生命周期阶段之间的相互依存关系。每个学习模块都将包括设计,过程,系统和业务组件以及功能建模,基于模拟的学习,虚拟现实和动手体验。这些模块将集成到工程(工业,机械和电气)和业务(管理信息科学)课程中。可以预期,这种方法将使学生能够更好地将产品制造理解为相互依存的系统,并提高了解决问题和决策能力。该项目具有三个特定的目的:1)设计一组凝聚力学习模块,这些模块引入了关键的制造阶段,从产品设计到信息系统; 2)在模拟完整的产品周期时培养学生的系统思维能力,并对产品设计进行批判性和反思以消除下游限制; 3)使用模拟和建模活动来帮助学生认识并进行跨学科的合作,从而导致专业技能的发展。产品设计将集中于图形分析。考虑到新产品(自行车)的计算机建模,考虑到美学,人体工程学,动力学和机械性能。根据他们的产品设计,学生将选择制造材料和流程,以成功生产构成产品的组件。然后,他们将对所需技术和人工的制造系统建模。最后,他们将使用包括现代企业资源计划系统在内的信息系统,以演示如何管理和执行集成流程以采购材料,制造组件并将产品交付给最终消费者。在试点测试和迭代精致之后,这些模块将集成到项目生命周期管理中的跨学科课程中。准实验设计将用于研究新课程对来自潜水员教育背景的学生的决策过程的影响。该项目有可能教育未来的工程师,他们可以采用高级建模方法并与支持信息系统和技术合作,从而有助于国家STEM劳动力的质量。 NSF IUSE:EHR计划支持研发项目,以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过订婚的学生学习轨道,该计划支持了有希望的实践和工具的创建,探索和实施。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准,通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
