2:00 – 2:25 p.m. Presentations:

Engineering Track: Breeding Better Chassis Using MD Nastran Presenter: Rick Valentin, Associate Professor, University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, Puerto Rico Location: General Lectures Building, Room 150 This project presentation is based on new evolutionary algorithm inspired by the gene theory, an interpretation of the Darwinian natural selection theory. The project consisted of defining two parent designs for future GM skateboard prototypes. Each parent has 72 different options bracings, columns, and beams that function as the design parameters in the optimization procedure. Parent designs are then recombined in a natural selection genetic recombination approach. The geometric structure changes in each new born generation negotiating design parameters to obtain a design which finally meets the imposed global stiffness constraints. The geometric structure will be able to absorb the static reactions from the components assembled and absorb all of the dynamic loads for its life-cycle. The objective is to minimize weight while surviving the environment. The presentation defines the use of Evolutionary Algorithms to ensure the most prevailing design and is meant to exercise creative thinking with the aid of Computer Aided Engineering Design software. Design Track: Team Based Collaboration in the Design Role David Gresham, Director, Graduate Studies, College for Creative Studies The role of the designer is changing more rapidly today then ever in our brief professional history. The range and scope of what we need is only achievable through team-based collaboration. This is one of our primary aims in the new graduate program at CCS. Location: St. Andrews Hall (Main Room) Manufacturing Track: GM Manufacturing Engineering Rand South, Senior Manufacturing Project Engineer, Press Simulation, Manufacturing Engineering, General Motors Location: Manoogian, Room 91 Motion Simulation in manufacturing at General Motors is used to virtually validate die designs, automation tooling designs, transfer press programming, container load and unload issues, and ergonomics issues.

2:30 – 2:55 p.m. Presentations: Engineering Track: Design of Exact Fit Products Using NX Presenter: George Platanitis, Design Lecturer/Engineer, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada Location: Manoogian Hall, Room 226 There is great potential in the market today for exact-fit products, associated with maximum comfort and safety of the user. Even with the improvements in ergonomic design of products today, users may still experience various degrees of discomfort and pain, since the product’s fit does not suit all people. Therefore, customizing the fit may eliminate these problems. In the third-year CAD/CAM/CAE course at UOIT, students are exposed to the idea of customized products, creating designs using 3-dimensional scanning, NX5 to design the product based on the scanned data, and rapid prototyping technologies to build a proof-of-concept of their design. Students successfully designed and developed custom-fit breathing masks and ambidextrous custom-fit game joysticks. This presentation will show the projects in detail, discuss requirements for each product, and present methodologies developed and used for designing the products. Engineering/Manufacturing Track: Integrating Engineering Design, Prototyping, and Project Management Using PLM Tools Presenters: Xiaobo Peng, Assistant Professor, Prairie View A&M University, USA Katie Grantham Lough, Assistant Professor, Missouri Institute of Science & Technology, USA Benjamin (Duke) Dow, Assistant Chair of Extended Studies, Missouri Institute of Science & Technology, USA Location: General Lectures Building, Room 150 This paper presents a collaborative engineering design project implemented by Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) and Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST) in Spring 2008 semester. Students from two universities team up as groups to design and analyze a subsystem of the modular Solar Thermal Electric Panel (STEP) roof system. The project integrates engineering design, design methodology, rapid prototype, and project management. PLM tools, i.e., Teamcenter Community, NX5, and MS Project, are utilized in the collaboration.

Manufacturing Track Smart Mobile Device Design in CAX Presenter: Kyoung-Yun Kim, Assistant Professor, Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering , Wayne State University, USA Location: Room 209 This presentation addresses a mobile device design project conducted by graduate students at Wayne State University (WSU). The student’s challenge is to design a prototype version of an innovative smart mobile device using NX4. The goal of this exercise is to learn principles and methods of CAD/CAM, GD&T, process planning, and future mobile environment. Smart mobile devices (SMD) are physical and functional components to realize future mobile environment. Appropriate SMD should include natural interface, portability, networking capability, and situation sensibility. Comparing with general mobile devices, SMD is characterized by its capability to generate and/or use context data for autonomous services, and it provides the users with personalized and situation-aware interfaces. WSU graduate students have developed an innovative SMD design by utilizing PACE software, NX4. The faculty member and graduate students will share their lessons learned from the SMD project and the impact of PACE software in WSU CAX education innovation. This curriculum development effort was supported by the 2007 PACE curriculum development grant. Curriculum Track Deploying the Perfect Academic Global Vehicle Design Network Presenter: Alan Steeves, Engineer, University of British Columbia, Canada Location: Room 205 There are a number of obstacles that must be overcome in deploying collaborative software and global access on the scale necessary for use, control and management of gigabytes of data generated from projects like the PACE Global Vehicle Development effort.

Curriculum Track CAE Global Micro-Training Strategy and Tactics Presenter: Vass Theodoracatos, Manager, CAE Global Training, GM Laura McCausland, Project Manager, CAE Global Training, GM Location: Room 205 One of the challenges in the automotive industry today is the rapid deployment of CAE-based virtual product development processes around the world at various regional engineering centers. This necessitates laser-focused training solutions to rapidly enhance the technical capability of the regional engineers through effective transfer of the company’s CAE knowledge base. This presentation describes a global micro-training strategy and tactics to train CAE engineers in company-specific standard work procedures. The training comprises of modularized, task-oriented content of “bite-sized” chunks of mission-critical knowledge. The content is easily accessed by the global operators within the company’s intranet through strategically placed links in their work process. This strategy differs from historical training solutions which included unnecessary, long, and wide-ranging content. Results from this micro-training indicate an order of magnitude reduction of CAE task rework and threefold reduction in turnaround time.

The project has been developed for the last two years by Virginia Tech and ITESM Monterrey (Mexico). In this project students employ state-of-the-art videoconference systems, and hardware and software technologies that virtually reduce the distance between the universities. These technologies enable students to learn, work, and solve problems together within team and sub-teams structure that is distributed across the two locations. In this project, the students discover firsthand the importance of comminication across different languages, cultures, engineering traditions, and time zones; so they discover this impact on the project deveoplment process. Some results from CARTEC suspension and brake teams in this two year experience will be presented. Lessons learned in the project using tools like Teamcenter Community and Teamcenter Engineering will be presented.

Design Track Practice of Interdisciplinary Collaboration Between Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design Presenter: Lifeng Xi, Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Location: Room 313 The success of a product design depends more and more on the interdisciplinary collaboration between engineering and industrial design. Through ongoing collaborative projects as case studies, this presentation shows the existing difficulties which students meet in these different domains. This paper presents the students’ perspective of the joint student team collaborative engineering design project. It examines how the student team members organized themselves, coordinated their project tasks, and communicated among themselves to overcome the inherent gaps in perception between engineers and designers. It describes the importance and value of both perspectives in the product development process. This presentation focuses on the solutions to enhance collaboration by making the Industrial Designer’s (ID’s) idea comprehensible for academically trained engineering students. This enables engineering students to understand and consider the ID’s work results to better run an interdisciplinary project. These proven practices allow the integration and evaluation of learning for optimum results.

Curriculum Track Emotional Intelligence and Effective Leadership—Revising Perceptions of Design and Engineering Leadership for High Performing Collaborative Teams Presenter: Brigid O’Kane, Associate Professor of Industrial Design, Co-Director of the PACE Center for Global Design and Manufacturing, University of Cincinnati, USA Location: Auditorium Emotions are considered private issues and counter productive within the workplace and academia. Research however, indicates that performance is largely influenced by the emotional relationship between people and leaders, the working atmosphere, and the understanding of moods and feelings. Leaders can greatly improve productivity and innovation through increased knowledge of emotional intelligence, which is vital to the success of the product development process. This paper presents research based on emotional leadership experiences with collaborative teams and demonstrates the importance of effective leadership. Both engineers and designers seeking creative ways to sustain high-performing interdisciplinary teams will improve their leadership skills by applying emotional leadership techniques. Emotions are also an essential part of the design process adding extensive value to the product development process. Through ongoing collaborative projects as case studies this presentation shows insights, skills, and solutions relating to emotional intelligence and strategies in leading teams with exceptional results.

MECHATRONICS PANEL - Part 1 Panel Presenters: Lead: Kevin Craig, Professor Emeritus, RPI Panelist: Dr. Shorya Awtar, Professor, University of Michigan Panelists: Mark Sampson, Product Manager, Systems

Engineering Requirements - Teamcenter, Siemens PLM Software; Gerry Deren, Siemens PLM Software

Panelist: Craig A. Brown, Engineering Group Manager, Controls and CAE Simulation, General Motors

Location: Room 213 Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of physical systems, electronics, controls, and computers through the design process, from the very start of the design process, thus enabling complex decision making. Integration is the key element in mechatronic design as complexity has been transferred from the mechanical domain to the electronic and computer software domains. Mechatronics is an evolutionary design development that demands horizontal integration among the various engineering disciplines as well as vertical integration between design and manufacturing. Mechatronics is the best practice for synthesis by engineers driven by the needs of industry and human beings. It is multidisciplinary systems engineering for the 21st century. Manufacturing Track Design and Growing the CAD Tree – Part 2 (CAM/CNC) Presenters: Don Geister, Instructor, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, USA Tod Briggs, Senior Manufacturing Implementation Consultant, Siemens PLM Software Craig Brown, Digital Manufacturing Specialist, Siemens PLM Software Location: Room 209 This session is co-presented by The University of Michigan and Siemens CAM professionals. It primarily focuses on the CAD/CAM aspects of the course structure in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering introduced in the Part 1 session above. A description of the software that was created and allowed by the software features, and are coupled with CAD, will be featured. There will also be recommendations for adding student-oriented software elements that enhance the learning process for CAD/CAM. The Siemens representatives will present a newly-developed customized feature (wizard) that expedites and simplifies the process of converting the existing design data into the data needed to actually produce the part. This will include a live demonstration on NX of the wizard as it is used on a CNC router/mill. (Continued on next page)

This course is team-taught at Virginia Tech and Howard University in USA, the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany, ITESM Monterrey in Mexico and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. The course employs “PACE-standard” state-of-the-art videoconference systems, and hardware and software technologies that virtually reduce the distance between the universities, students, and faculty—including Teamcenter Engineering and Teamcenter Community. These technologies enable students to learn, work, and solve problems together within team and sub-team structure that is distributed across different locations. Selection, tests, costs and configuration examples of hardware and software will be presented. The coordination, deployment, and implementation of tightly integrated technologies across multiple sites is particularly challenging in a university setting. Universities are independent organizations with differing policies and calendars; and, within each university, the networking, hardware, software, and support infrastructures are managed in a decentralized manner. This paper will therefore also describe how these organizational challenges were overcome to make the course a reality. Preliminary ongoing research to establish a common set of effective cross-cultural design practices will be also presented.

Design Track RTT DeltaGen—High End 3D Visualization for Design Presenter: Peter Stevenson, Chief Operating Officer, RTT Location: Room 217 This presentation covers the software now available to PACE Design Institutions that offers photo-realistic quality with infinite scope to manipulate, animate and interact with the model. It allows the designers to allow them to tell their design story fully without the need for physical models—i.e., full “virtual prototyping.” Advanced features allow for super-detailed Styling, Color & Trim, Headlight Design, etc.—all of which can be changed at the press of a button to display alternate options (colors, materials, environments, even alternate geometrics that have been styled.)
