Abstract
The fast developing engineering technology and globalization process have changed traditional educational roles and expectations from teachers. This leads to the course curriculum and teaching reforms that focus on introducing potential technologies and programs which can provide students with latest and challenging engineering knowledge. A recent graduate course titled “Manufacturing Strategy and Lean” has been developed to establish entrepreneurship opportunities for fast-pace and developing world. Some advanced technologies, including Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Standard Operation Procedure (SOP), and Lean Manufacturing, have been introduced in helping students to gain high level of engineering experiences. It also helps students to examine political, social and economic issues that associated to engineering project delivery processes that can lead to save product process expenses, increase manufacturing efficiency, improve product quality and shorten production period. Although this course was taught at mechanical and manufacturing engineering majors, it can also benefit the students from many other engineering disciplines such as industrial engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering and engineering management. The fundamental theories and technologies taught in this class can be applied to most areas of US industrial and engineering practices.
Highlights
Some students enrolling into the technological and engineering major might have the difficulty to choose an appropriate engineering discipline[1]
Today’s fast-path developing and challenging world requires college students and future engineers to gain more advanced and professional engineering knowledge, in order to be successful in their current academic learning and future career planning
A new course, currently taught at the mechanical and manufacturing engineering majors, was designed to help our students in dealing with professional, engineering, and ethical issues associated with modern engineering practice
Summary
Some students enrolling into the technological and engineering major might have the difficulty to choose an appropriate engineering discipline[1]. FMEA seems to work best, when an engineering team documents its known knowledge about known cause- and effect-relationships In this analysis mode, the timely sequence of failure events should be worked out first, Zheng (Jeremy) Li: A New Advanced Graduate Course for Developing and Challenging World before entering results into a FMEA sheet. The feedback from many students graduated and currently working in different industries indicated that all these advanced technical and engineering knowledge learnt from our class are important for their academic learning, career plan, job hunting, and stay success in today’s challenging world. These techniques can help industries to determine if their businesses are successful or not. If we properly educate the students with the latest and important technologies early in the school, they can get ready to face the strong challenge when they plan their current academic study and future career
