Vertical and Horizontal Integration of Manufacturing Courses in Engineering CuriculaThe goal is to define a unique, novel model with strategies, processes and teaching tools and materials, to vertically integrate manufacturing courses and horizontally integrate mechanical engineering and industrial engineering courses, and to extend this model to other universities nationally. Intellectual Merit of the Proposed ActivityThe proposed project will develop a streamlining process where students move fluidly from one course to another with continuity, are able to carry with them the knowledge and skills from upstream courses and visualize what is expected in the downstream classes. Students are able to interact with each other within manufacturing degree and with mechanical engineering and industrial engineering degrees. This holistic learning forms the foundation of a solid multi-disciplinary education. This project will form a strategy for inter-departmental collaboration, define a process for integration, and develop teaching tools, hands-on and web-based, for streamlining course progression and consolidating lecture and laboratory material for beta testing and later, dissemination.Broader Impacts Resulting from the Proposed ActivityThe project will identify and establish collaboration between manufacturing, industrial engineering and mechanical engineering disciplines and between Kettering University and other beta-site universities as well as industry partners. The integration concept, new equipment and laboratory experiments, and product realization projects will be used in Kettering summer workshops for pre-college women (21st Century Women) and minority (Academically Inclined Minorities Program) to encourage and mentor underrepresented groups to study engineering. The outcomes of the project will directly impact Kettering's students and faculty, female and minority programs, beta-site universities and industry partners through developed laboratory projects, workshops and seminars, and will be published in diverse media such as Internet websites, CD-ROMs, conferences presentations, papers, laboratory manuals, and books for dissemination to broader audiences.

工程课程中制造课程的纵向和横向整合目标是定义一个独特的，新颖的模式与策略，流程和教学工具和材料，纵向整合制造课程和横向整合机械工程和工业工程课程，并将此模式扩展到全国其他大学。建议活动的智力优势建议项目将开发一个精简的过程，学生可以连续地从一个课程流畅地过渡到另一个课程，能够随身携带上游课程的知识和技能，并想象下游课程的预期内容。学生能够在制造学位以及机械工程和工业工程学位中相互交流。这种整体学习形成了坚实的多学科教育的基础。该项目将形成部门间合作的战略，确定整合过程，开发实践和网络教学工具，以简化课程进度，整合讲座和实验室材料，用于测试和后期传播。工业工程和机械工程学科之间以及凯特林大学和其他测试网站的大学以及行业合作伙伴。整合概念，新设备和实验室实验，以及产品实现项目将用于大学前妇女（21世纪妇女）和少数民族（学术倾向少数民族计划）的凯特林夏季研讨会，以鼓励和指导代表性不足的群体学习工程。该项目的成果将直接影响凯特林的学生和教师，女性和少数民族节目，测试网站的大学和行业合作伙伴，通过开发实验室项目，讲习班和研讨会，并将在不同的媒体，如互联网网站，光盘，会议演示文稿，论文，实验室手册和书籍发布，传播给更广泛的受众。
