Understanding contemporary issues and acquiring international skills are critical and valuable for college graduates in today's increasingly global economy. However, these skills cannot be taught easily in classrooms and there is a shortage of exercises beyond the classrooms to allow students to cultivate, practice, and enhance these important skills. This presentation describes how our China Senior Project Center at WPI has successfully embedded these ingredients into IE capstone project conducted for multinational companies with operations offices in China. The major characteristics of this Center include multi-cultural, multi-located, and multi-disciplinary teams formed by WPI students and those from our partnering schools in China, and solving IE-related real-world problems.

This paper presents how a senior capstone project can be utilized to build partnerships between the academia and several companies representing key industries in modern robotics technology. The project can be described as designing a portable robotic workcell for industry to showcase state-of-the-art equipment and technologies in robotics. The industrial sponsor for this project is Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) located in Orion, Michigan. AMT plans to use the workcell for demonstrating current robotics technology in tradeshows, industrial open houses and/or robotics conferences. In addition, the workcell is to be used as a platform to provide training to engineers working in robotics industry on robot programming, machine vision and systems integration. The small size, flexible design and durability make the workcell appealing to many other applications in roboticsengineering. An engineering senior project design team composed of one computer engineer, two electrical engineers and two manufacturing engineering technologists at Lake Superior State University has worked on this project as their capstone design requirement through the 2007-2008 academic year. Lake Superior State University offers ABET accredited programs in computer, electrical and mechanical engineering as well as in manufacturing engineering technology. robotics and automation is a degree option in all majors. The capstone senior design project is an integral part of all the degree programs and provides a real-life experience for the engineering senior students. The two-semester course has been an important tool to introduce students to soft skills such as project management, communications, engineering economics, and engineering ethics. The paper illustrates how a capstone design project can be used to build partnerships in robotics technology. An educational partnership between Lake Superior State University and Applied Manufacturing Technologies has quickly expanded to include many oth

Development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and structures they interact with, especially for navigation applications constitutes one of the most challenging tasks in today's micromechanics. In addition to design, analysis, and fabrication capabilities, this task also requires advanced test methodologies for determination of functional characteristics of MEMS to enable verification as well as refinement and optimization of their designs. More specifically, development of MEMS requires sophisticated design, analysis, fabrication, testing, and characterization tools. These tools can be categorized as analytical, computational, and experimental. Solutions using the tools from any one category alone do not usually provide necessary information on MEMS and extensive merging, or hybridization, of the tools from different categories is used. One of the approaches employed in the development of MEMS, as well as other complex structures of contemporary interest, is based on a combined use of the analytical, computational, and experimental solutions (ACES) methodology. Development of this methodology was made possible by recent advances in optoelectronic methodology, which was coupled with the state-of-the-art computational methods, to offer a considerable promise for effective development of the design of MEMS. This approach facilitates characterization of dynamic and thermomechanical behavior of MEMS components, packages for MEMS, and other complex material structures. In this paper, we describe the novel optoelectronic methodology that facilitates development of MEMS and illustrate its use with representative examples by emphasizing their functional operation/ characteristics, reliability, and durablity.

Statechart has been utilized as a visual formalism for the modeling of complex and interactive systems for its illuminating features on describing properties of causality, concurrency, and synchronization. This paper presents the application of satechart to the modeling, design and implementation of an elevator system, whose system behavior involves aggregating complexity of state descriptions, and imposition of underlying control policy. Based on the operational flow of an elevator, we derive the associated statechart model by looking into the inherent hierarchical structure of the elevator. The advantage of the proposed approach is the clear presentation of system behavior in terms of conditions and events that cause the transitions in system dynamics. Implementation of the controlled elevator based on the modeled statechart is also presented.

In this work, the forces and displacements in diamond roll plunge dressing are studied over a range of feed rates with the objective of investigating threshold forces. It describes the equipment, instrumentation, and data reduction methods used in the study. Building on previous work (King and Hahn 1986;Hahn and Lindsay 1970), this paper studies the normalized material removal rates and the normalized normal dressing forces as functions of time. Two regimes appear to exist as functions of feed rates. Each regime can be extrapolated to zero feed and makes a non-zero threshold with the force axis. The force threshold at feed rates above 3 mm/min. is 1.06 N/mm width of the grinding wheel, and the force thresh-old at feed rates below 3 mm/min. is 0.12 N/mm width of the grinding wheel.
Conclusions of this research and implications for teaching can be summarized as follows: The level of comprehension evident in students' written explanations of their way of understanding and applying the lever ru...
