Course Notes

 

·        Expenses:  This course requires that the student becomes a member of SME ($20.00), purchases the required text, (Rufe - $130.00) and purchases the electronic version of the Fundamentals of Manufacturing Exam for the Certified Manufacturing Technologist Exam, CMfgT, ($95.00).  This is an expensive course.  Please be prepared to pay for these items in the first 2 weeks of the course so that the exam date can be established with SME.

·        Assessment:       Students with a minor in Manufacturing will be required to take the Fundamentals of Manufacturing exam provided by SME.  If the exam is successfully passed the student becomes a Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT), and is excused from the course final exam.  Students must join SME in order to take the exam.  When you sign up for the exam be sure you specify the CMfgT exam, and the on-line version (as opposed to paper-pencil).

·        Study groups are encouraged.  Please consider forming teams to aid in the preparation of the certification exam.  We will use these same study groups as lab partners when working on the ProtoTRAK LPM Machining Center.

·        Homework must be submitted for each chapter in the Fundamentals of Manufacturing text.  It must be handwritten, neatly, showing all work required. The pages must be 8 ½ x 11 in size, no edges.  It is recommended you photocopy or scan the assignments.  Even if you work in a group, the homework must be written in your hand.  These will be graded on selected (random) questions, and recorded.

·        Electronic Portfolio: Students must create and maintain an electronic portfolio that demonstrates their knowledge of, and experience in current manufacturing engineering practices including:

o   Lean manufacturing principles

o   Six sigma practices

o   5S and visual controls

o   Computer Aided Manufacturing

o   Manufacturing processes: casting, fabrication, and machining

o   Design for Manufacturing techniques

o   Inventory control and JIT principles

o   Scheduling and production control techniques

·        Test Site: Your laptop must be able to access and have full functioning capability with the SME test site:   http://testing.noctibusiness.com/sme.  Set the computer up for testing, and take the sample test.

·        Institute Grading Policy

 

 

Learning and Competency Objectives
Engineering and Engineering Technology programs must demonstrate that their students attain the following outcomes listed.  Those that are shown in bold are areas most applicable to this course:

(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability

(d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams

(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility

(g) an ability to communicate effectively

(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context

(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning

(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues

(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

This course will concentrate efforts in the following areas:

  1. (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.  Students will be performing assignment activities that will cover topics in Quality Assurance, Health and Safety, Economic Order Quantities and Re-Order Points (EOQ – ROP), and Manufacturing Process design, using the Boothroyd-Dewhurst Design for Manufacturing and Assembly methods.
  2.  (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.  The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) Fundamentals of Manufacturing Exam covers a broad spectrum of materials.  Much of the responsibility for the exam preparation is placed on the student.  Students that pass the exam and become Certified Manufacturing Technologists (CMfgT) may opt to take the Certified Manufacturing Engineering Exam (CMfgE) after graduation, and will be required to obtain educational credits as specified by SME in order to maintain the CMfgT credential. Students that pass the exam given at the end of the course will obtain the highest rating in the rubric.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Students are expected to attend classes regularly, take tests, and submit papers and other work at the times specified by the instructor. Students who are absent repeatedly from class or studio will be evaluated by faculty responsible for the course to ascertain their ability to achieve the course objectives and to continue in the course.  Instructors may include, as part of the semester's grades, marks for the quality and quantity of the student's participation in class.

A student who is absent from class on the day of a previously announced examination, including the final examination, is not entitled, as a matter of right, to make up what was missed. The instructor involved is free to decide whether a make-up will be allowed.

A student who is absent from class is responsible for obtaining knowledge of what happened in class, especially information about announced tests, papers, or other assignments.

At the discretion of the instructor, a student who misses 15 percent of class may be withdrawn from the course by the instructor. A grade of WA will appear on the student’s official transcript as a result. Lack of attendance does not constitute withdrawal from a course.

 

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGIES:

Lectures: The bulk of the course materials needed to prepare for the SME exam are covered in the reading assignments. Many topics are review from previous coursework.  The advanced topics such as six-sigma quality, and lean manufacturing will be presented in addition to topics that students identify as material they would like to review as a group in the classroom.  Students that consider themselves subject matter experts in an area are encouraged to lead discussions.

 

 

 

 

 

ACADEMIC SUPPORT:

The Learning Center assists all Wentworth students with academic challenges in the areas of math, science, technical courses specific to majors, and writing. The Learning Center is a supportive and safe learning environment for students looking to improve or maintain their academic standing. In this student-based learning environment, students can receive individual help with their studies, meet and work in study groups, or find resources to assist them in meeting their goals for academic success. It includes tutors in many subjects, writing assistance and workshops. Make appointments at www.wit.edu/tlc

 

 

ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT:

Students at Wentworth are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, inventing false information or citations, plagiarism, tampering with computers, destroying other people’s studio property, or academic misconduct” (Academic Catalog). See your catalogue for a full explanation.

 

 

STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY STATEMENT:

It is assumed that any submitted work: homework, laboratory assignment or on-line quiz was performed by the individual whose name is on it.  If you work collaboratively, and then submit your efforts under separate names, each of the collaborative participants will receive a zero.  I absolutely hate getting a feeling of déjà vu when grading papers.  If you work collaboratively, put all the names on a single submission.  If you use materials found in reference materials simply cite the work (properly) to receive credit.   Failure to do so will result in you and I making an appointment with the Dean of Students.

 

 

COLLEGE OF THE FENWAY STUDENTS:

 

If you are enrolled in this course through COF Cross Registration, notify your course instructor. Please provide her/him with your email address to be sure that you receive course information in a timely way. You should also discuss how to access online applications that might be used in the course. Please note that cross registered students who wish to drop or withdraw from this course must complete the necessary paperwork according to the Wentworth calendar.

 

 

ADD/DROP:

 

Students should check the academic calendar to confirm the add/drop deadline. Dropping and/or adding courses is done online. Courses dropped in this period are removed from the student’s record. Non-attendance does not constitute dropping a course. If a student has registered for a course and subsequently withdraws or receives a failing grade in its prerequisite, then the student must drop that course. In some cases, the student will be dropped from that course by the Registrar. However, it is the student’s responsibility to make sure that he or she meets the course prerequisites and to drop a course if the student has not successfully completed the prerequisite. The student must see his or her academic advisor or academic department chair for schedule revision and to discuss the impact of the failed or withdrawn course on the student’s degree status.
