Abstract

The  Emerging  Technologies  and  Technicians  Workshop  gave  participants  an  exposure  to  and  experiences  with  Next  Generation  Manufacturing  (NGM),  Rapid  Prototyping  (RP)  and  Digital  Fabrication  (“Fab  Lab”)  development  and  processes.  Participants  became  familiar  with  these  processes  through  an  advanced  project  based  learning  activity.  The  host  faculty  facilitated  the  hands-­‐on  activities.  Discussions  and  presentations  about  the  implementation  of  and  the  subsequent  role  of  FAB  LABS  for  college  economic  development  and  academic  programs  was  part  of  the  workshop  as  well  an  industry  tour.    The  participants  became  familiar  with  the  manufacturing  processes  steps  using  Project  Based  Learning.    The  Rapid  Prototyping  process  include  the  manufacturing  steps  of  (1)  Reverse  Engineering  of  an  assembly  from  which  the  design  is  made;  (2)  Additive  and  Subtraction  Manufacturing;  (4)  Machining  and/or  reshaping  of  the  materials;  and  (5)  tests  and  checks  for  quality  assurance  during  and  after  the  processes.    Planning  the  production  process  prior  to  manufacturing  and  modifications  to  the  product  ensured  success.      This  paper  and  poster  will  outline  the  workshop  activities  and  share  the  resulting  fabricated  products.  It  will  also  provide  a  summary  of  curriculum  and  economic  development  alignment  discussions.
