Strategic Planning For An Integrated Manufacturing Systems Curriculum Ernest B. Ezell,Jr., Associate Professor John W. Sinn, Professor Bowling Green State University NAIT Annual Conference; Panama City, Florida Thursday November 7, 2002, 5:00 PM; Spanish Moss A • Topics • IMS background, challenges • Integrated manufacturing systems (IMS) • 3. What should we know? • 4. IMS framework for change: What does future hold?
IMS Background And Challenges • Three Programs as IMS Start point • Electronic and computer technology • Manufacturing technology • Mechanical design technology • Were The Programs relevant? • Initiated as manufacturing related study, 1997 • Response to falling enrollments, change • Facility, equipment issues, customer demands • Multi-phased work culminated, 2000
IMS Background And Challenges • Since 2000, implementation phase • Primarily undergrad, foundational to graduate • Ownership, common ground challenges • ABET issues, accreditation issues, opportunities • Strong tradition of cooperative education • Two year technical, community college inputs • Advisory committee, professional bodies inputs • Efficiencies, duplication issues, faculty load • Internal, external funding issues, realities • What do technical programs look like in future?
Integrated Manufacturing Systems • Four IMS technical content areas emerged: • Quality systems • Design & concurrent engineering systems • Manufacturing & process engineering systems • Electro-mechanical systems • A “What should we know matrix”, is evolving in each area, providing guidance, validation in: • Technical foundations, concepts, content • Assessment strategies, outcomes anticipated • Ultimately, basis for existence
Design And Concurrent Engineering Systems: What Should We Know?
Conceptual Assessment Framework: Design And Concurrent Engineering Systems Outcomes
Manufacturing And Process Engineering Systems: What Should We Know?
Conceptual Assessment Framework: Manufacturing And Process Engineering Systems Outcomes
Conceptual Assessment Framework: Electro-Mechanical Systems Outcomes
IMS Framework For Change: What Does The Future Hold? Design & Concurrent Engineering Systems Technical Management Core Knowledge Electro- Mechanical Systems Quality Systems Manufacturing & Process Engineering Systems
IMS Framework For Change: What Does The Future Hold? • Rethinking undergraduate education • Refocusing, strengthening advisory committee • New models for 2 year school relationships • Creation of minors in several areas • Enhanced outreach electronically, increasing • Emerging electronic portfolio systems • New models for supervising co-op’s
IMS Framework For Change: What Does The Future Hold? • “Online Quality Learning Community”……… • Engaging ASQ professionals • New QS curriculum, lean initiative coming • Doing actual industrial projects in quality • Graduate shifts coming, undergraduate basis • What would certificates look like? • Fully electronic degrees coming, BS completion
IMS Framework For Change: What Does The Future Hold? • Strengthened outcome assessment emphasis……. • Defining core knowledge, discipline, IT • Strengthened professional body presence • Course level assessment beginning to emerge • Aligning, matrices, “what should we know?” • Broadened rubrics for assessment • Clearer relationships among programs
IMS Framework For Change: What Does The Future Hold? • Defining core knowledge, discipline, IT…….. • Exploring core courses, common ground • Professional bodies explored, ASQ, SME, NAIT • Technical management, quality, productivity • Quality, applications, ISO, QS 9000 • How to do technical projects, ecommerce • Adjusting, matrices, “what should we know?”
IMS Framework For Change: What Does The Future Hold? • Questions about: • Administrative structure…… • Administrative support…….. • Professional certification…….assessment……. • Are we able to shift…….new paradigms? • E-commerce, assessment, electronic portfolios • Adjusting, matrices, “what should we know?”
