Introducing Fundamental Manufacturing Processes And Manufacturing Organizational And Production Systems By Way Of Laboratory Activities

The rebirth of manufacturing in the United States will not just accidentally happen. Engineering programs must help stimulate the rebirth by educating students in the importance and fundamentals of manufacturing processes, organization and production systems. These concepts continue to ga].n increasing importance for aiding engineers to help reindustrialize the United States for the twenty-first century. At Trenton State College, in the Department of Engineering, these concepts are being introduced and taught most effectively via the hands-on approach. The department believes that by placing a strong commitment on practical learning experiences, it is better able to teach and reinforce theoretical concepts.
