Additive manufacturing (3D printing) has become an integral part of engineering design and lab courses in K-12 and higher education. Low-cost and readily available 3D printers allow integration of design, prototype manufacturing, and testing which is otherwise difficult to incorporate using traditional, subtractive manufacturing methods in courses. To that end, the authors designed a four-week design-build-test (DBT) lab for junior mechanical engineering students. The lab meets the following learning goals;1) develop proficiency in using a desktop 3D printer, 2) explain the impact of selected 3D print settings on dimensional accuracy and tensile strength of a shape, 3) evaluate the use of simulations in the engineering designprocess, and 4) use data to improve the design. The entire class of junior mechanical engineering students, approximately 80 students annually, are split into teams of four to five students per team. Collectively, the class investigates the impact of infill density (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 %) and three print orientations on the dimensional accuracy and strength of a printed part under tensile load. Each team uses the data in conjunction with static, structural simulations to redesign the original part without increasing the mass, volume, size, or manufacturing time. The DBT lab sequence concludes with a written report and an oral presentation. The lab provides the students with a DBT sequence while investigating a specific additive manufacturing method. The investigation allows students to apply and learn the engineering designprocess, the use of simulations in engineering design, experimental tensile testing, quality assurance methods, and sophisticated statistical analyses. The feedback from the students indicates that the DBT lab sequence;a) provides an appropriate level of challenge, b) keeps students engaged, c) enhances learning, and d) equips students with multiple, different tools for a successful DBT cycle, without a significant requireme

As mechatronic systems become more complex, their design requires different engineering teams, each specialized in their own domain, to cooperate. This is often accomplished through a co-designprocess, which aims to parallelize the engineering work and therefore improve the time-efficiency and cost of system development. However, the integration step following the concurrent design often fails due to incorrect or incomplete assumptions made regarding other domains. In this paper, we propose to use a combination of two different views on the system. One view is the traditional system design methods that aim at system decomposition. The other view aims at defining the system-level properties and their interrelations. By means of a drone case study, we demonstrate how to decompose the system into manageable components, while still capturing relationships between these components and their related properties. For the drone modeling and decomposition, we use ARCADIA, whereas for the management of the cross-domain system relations, we use a knowledge model and tool that we presented in previous work.

Purpose-Providing a comprehensive literature review to consolidate existing knowledge, advancements and future directions in the field. By synthesizing the state of research, this work enhances the understanding of Prescriptive Maintenance (PsM) methodologies, applications and potential benefits to assist researchers in identifying fruitful avenues for further investigation, and guide practitioners in implementing PsM strategies to improve maintenance outcomes in their industries. design/methodology/approach-through a systematic, multistage, specialists audited analysis of peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, books sections, thesis, magazines and industry reports, this work provides a literature review analyzing PsM origins, definitions, enablers, outputs and emerging trends. Findings-PsM concept evolved in recent years representing a shift from traditional maintenance, leveraging prescriptive analytics, data-driven modeling and optimization techniques to enable proactive decision-making and optimal resource allocation. By harnessing PsM, organizations can anticipate and mitigate failures, optimize maintenance actions and enhance asset reliability. Research limitations/implications-Existing literature points out the following challenges for PsM implementation: prescriptive analytics improvement, scalability of frameworks, development of prototypes, processes integration;PsM maturity assessment;asset health prognostics assertiveness, real-time data availability and adoption of cost functions to grasp business and environmental, social and governance (ESG) costs. Practical implications-Optimal deployment of resources with little or no human intervention in the maintenance decision process and the creation of new services improving reliability and operational performance. Social implications-By optimizing maintenance, not only direct costs diminish but also environmental, social and governance (ESG) related costs decrease by reducing energy waste during equipment

This article delves into the design and implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship systems based on cloud model data mining algorithms in university environments. Firstly, through in-depth communication with stakeholders such as university management, teachers, and students, a comprehensive analysis and planning of the system's requirements were conducted. Next, the article provides a detailed description of the system architecture design, including key components such as data collection and management, data preprocessing, cloud model data mining, user interface, reporting and visualization, security and privacy protection, as well as user feedback and support. During the system development process, emphasis was placed on the design principles and construction of cloud model data mining algorithms, as well as the optimization measures taken to improve system efficiency and accuracy. The system implementation process follows a series of strategies, including preliminary planning, system development, data preparation and migration, system integration, user training, as well as system deployment and continuous maintenance. Each stage is carefully designed and executed to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the system. After implementation, a comprehensive performance evaluation of the system was conducted, including accuracy, efficiency, and user satisfaction. The results showed that the system performed well in multiple aspects, but also pointed out some areas that needed improvement. Finally, the article summarizes the main advantages and limitations of the system, and puts forward suggestions for future work directions, including further optimizing user experience, algorithm performance, and expanding application scope. This study provides an efficient and reliable data support and decision-making assistance tool for innovation and entrepreneurship activities in universities, which is of great significance for promoting the development of the innovati
