Wednesday, July 26, 2006 2:15 – 2:40 p.m. Presentations – please select one of the following

Design Track: The Role of Group/Team Projects in Education: Bane or Boost to the Student? Presenter: R. Brent Adams, Professor Industrial Design / Animation, Brigham Young University Location: Room 2258 The Industrial Design program at Brigham Young University has run group projects for several years now. There is a multidisciplinary Animation Major that is housed in three departments spanning two Colleges. Industrial Design is responsible for the 3-Dimensional Computer Graphics component of the major. BYU has won more Student Emmys than any other school over those three years. Last year, thirty industry sponsored group projects were run at BYU in the Mechanical Engineering major with many of those projects including an Industrial Design student. Some projects were more successful than others. As a case study we will discuss the successes and failures of group projects, their impact on students, faculty and the participating programs. What are the advantages and disadvantages of group projects? What are some examples of appropriate projects? What are some areas of concern that one should be aware of?

Engineering Track: How MSC.Adams Impacted Students in a Sophomore Dynamics Class Presenter: Louis Everett, Professor, University of Texas at El Paso

Location: Auditorium In an effort to produce more, better graduates faster than in previous years, MSC.Adams was used in a sophomore dynamics class. A two component experiment was performed to investigate the effect technology and a simple design problem has on student attitudes about theory presented in dynamics class. The first part of the experiment presented students with relatively simple dynamics problems that "appear" to have simple behaviors. Students are asked to predict the behavior. After making their predictions, the students are shown the true behavior which usually differs from their prediction. The students are asked to explain the observation using theory presented in class. MSC.Adams is used to "test" the student theories. In the second part of the experiment, students perform a design and use MSC.Adams to test their ideas. This paper presents the problems used in "lecture" and the design problem. It also presents a preliminary assessment of student attitudes. Manufacturing Track: Manufacturing in a Global PLM Environment Presenter: Tod Briggs, Sr Engineering Application Specialist, UGS Location: Room 2277 This session presents a highlight of UGS products and their effectiveness in a global manufacturing environment in support of the PACE Global Vehicle Design project. This session sets the stage for the next logical step.

Wednesday, July 26, 2006 2:45 – 3:10 p.m. Presentations – please select one of the following

General Track: Forming Virtual Teams: How to Create Virtual Relationships and Make Team Decisions Presenter: Brian Holmlund, Manager, N. America Training, GMAC Location: Business Center (This session has a maximum of 14 participants and, therefore, is offered at multiple times during the Forum. Pre-registration is required. A sign-up sheet is located at the registration table)

Attendees should bring laptops to this session if possible As part of the PACE mission, the PACE Institutions are embracing tools and technologies that allow students to participate on collaborative teams – many times with students from different geographic locations. This session offers discussion opportunities in small groups to discuss how to create relationships and make decisions in virtual teams. Discussion will also include the identification of other tools and resources that may be necessary to establishing effective teams. Design and Engineering Tracks: Bridging the Language Gap between Design and Engineering Presenter: Greg Darby, Asst Professor, College for Creative Studies Location: Room 2258 This presentation will begin with a basic overview of the language of design as a means to encourage debate on the cultural differences between industrial design professionals and engineers. Although both professionals work towards the same goals in product development, it’s obvious the approaches can vastly differ. Designer’s emphasis is on the intangible, ‘Fuzzy Front End’—the ‘Touchy Feely’—studying the emotional connection that customers have with products. By contrast, engineers work entirely within the objective framework of mathematics and quantifiable hard science. These differences notwithstanding, it has been well established that both professions—design and its subjective realm, and engineering with its objective math and science—must work together in harmony for new product development to lead to commercial success in the market place.

Engineering Track: NX CAD/CAM/CAE throughout the Curriculum at Michigan Technological University (MTU) Presenter: Bernhard Bettig, Assistant Professor, MTU

Location: Auditorium The presentation will go over the use of NX at Michigan Tech in the first year engineering courses on through graduate studies. The presentation will show how one course builds on another as students go from simply creating good looking solids to doing engineering analyses, manufacturing parts, designing systems, and developing new design automation software tools within NX. The presentation will be particularly useful to those who are starting to introduce NX to their curriculum.

Thursday, July 27, 2006 Manufacturing Track: Using Simulation to Visualize, Analyze and Optimize Manufacturing Systems Presenter: Charles Harrell, Associate Professor, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Brigham Young University

Location: 2283 Traditionally, manufacturing systems design has been more of an art than a science. This presentation shows how simulation takes system design from an art to a science through a three-phased approach involving visualization, analysis and optimization. A graphical layout of a system helps visualize the system being investigated. Further animation of the system operation helps visualize how the system performs. This facilitates the analysis phase where alternative operating scenarios can be evaluated. Finally, simulation is now integrated with optimization tools to help find the optimal system design.

In this presentation we will discuss the complex nature of working with schools from widely varying time zones and seasons and how use of PACE tools like TcC and video conferencing brought control, order and concurrent development to the coordinated interior-exteriors of the four concept vehicles.

Engineering Track:

A Mechanical Engineering Cornerstone Curriculum – A Student’s First Look at the Design/Synthesis Process Presenter: Jordan Cox, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Brigham Young University

Location: Auditorium Traditional mechanical engineering programs expose their freshman and sophomore students to a collection of classes comprised of mathematics, physics, chemistry, statics, dynamics, engineering graphics, etc. Often in these mechanical engineering programs the aspiring engineer will not be introduced to the topic of design or its related processes until late in their junior or senior year. Some of these traditional programs are adding a design experience of one or two weeks to their ME freshman orientation experience. The authors propose and present here a PACE compliant Cornerstone Design and Synthesis class. This class is intended to replace older, more traditional engineering graphics, dimensioning and tolerancing, or CAD modeling classes. The class is structured so as to provide the engineering student with a formal treatment of design and synthesis while learning in context the principles of basic through advanced surface and solid modeling, fundamental first principles of engineering stress, deflection, mass properties, etc. This paper discusses the content and structure of the class, labs and projects. This class will be offered for the first time starting in the fall of 2006.

Friday, July 28, 2006 General Track: Design of a Removable Roof System for the 2007 Pontiac Solstice Presenter: Kerra Strum, BSME Graduate, Howard University

Location: Room 2277 During the 2005-2006 academic year, students in the multi-disciplinary Capstone Senior Design class at Howard University, in collaboration with General Motors Corporation, were required to conceptualize and design a modular three step, removable roof system that can be stowed in the trunk of the 2007 Pontiac Solstice. Two teams of students worked on the project competitively; one team was to complete designs for the Premium and Base line version, and the other team, Design Rite, was tasked with the design for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), and Coupe versions. The main design constraints for the Design Rite team included designing a rigid structure with a light-weight glass backlight for the Sports Car Club of America version, and to design a factory option with stock quarters, windshield header, and lift-glass for the Coupe version. Using these constraints, the two teams implemented and built the design as a full scale prototype. The presentation in the PACE forum will focus on the design process of one team, Design Rite, to include results from the use of computer-aided engineering software obtained as part of the participation of Howard University as a PACE partner.

2:30 – 2:55 p.m. Presentations – please select one of the following

Engineering Track: Contextual Learning of CAx Tools within a Fundamental Mechanical Engineering Curricula Presenter: Jonathan Blotter, Assoc Professor, Brigham Young University

Location: Auditorium This paper will present and discuss what has occurred in the year following the introduction of CAx tools into three fundamental undergraduate mechanical engineering courses. A brief review of the structure and organization of the ~90 tutorials is presented followed by our reporting on their use in Machine Design, Fluid Dynamics and System Dynamics. The lessons learned—both benefits and disadvantages—from using these tutorials will be shared. We will present how these tutorials have complemented and reinforced the material covered in lecture and in the textbook, and were easily integrated into our existing courses through a series of self-learning modules or tutorials.

Manufacturing Track:

Direct Parametric Control Presenter: Edward Red, Professor, ME, Brigham Young University

Location: Room 2277 This paper explores a new method whereby a master part model can be parametrically varied throughout all process sequences, replacing the current methods of developing unique part models at each product step, along with process plans and machine control programs. Our direct parametric control approach can reduce data and management functions to a fraction of current practices, depending on the number of process steps and the required replication of part CAD models. Processes with ten or more process steps could see management cost reductions of up to 90%.
