Abstract Scope |
This project aims to develop students' consensus on the importance of standards and standardization through systematic training, including lectures, labs, seminars, and industrial experience. New course materials were developed and integrated into the curriculum of Manufacturing Engineering. Fundamental knowledge and specific standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have been introduced to both undergraduate and graduate students. The study delves into the curriculum design and strategies for incorporating standards education into additive manufacturing and robotics courses. Faculty feedback indicated the ease of adoption of the course materials, with expressed interest in future adoption. Student surveys were conducted to assess the impact of the curriculum, revealing positive feedback regarding its effectiveness in educating students about standards and standardization. |
