I. Program Overview

Your program overview should incorporate the values and philosophy of the program, and the vision of what students will be able to do upon completion of the program. A program overview might include a brief history and philosophy of the program, the type of students to be served, the academic environment and primary focus of the curriculum, faculty roles, the contributions to and connections with the community, the role of research, and a stated commitment to diversity and nondiscrimination. A program overview should consistent with the University of Cincinnati mission statement and written with the student audience in mind

The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program at The University of Cincinnati’s Clermont College is a two-year career oriented program within the MAGYC Department [Math/Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Aviation, Geology/Geography, Physics, and Computer

Systems Support Technology/CISCO.] Successful students earn an Applied Associate of Science degree.

This program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology (originating in the College of Engineering and Applied Science and discontinued there) has two tracks, Manufacturing and Design. The program integrates new options in manufacturing with the best features of the UC Clermont College CADP program, begun in 1992. Students wishing to complete a baccalaureate degree may also choose to complete an alternative transfer option. The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is housed in facilities at UC East and contains equipment funded in part by a $250,000.00 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission, with matching funds from UC Clermont College. This program helps meet a demand for skills-based training expressed by local manufacturers. Soon after the MFTN program began, Milacron established a partnership with UC Clermont College to provide training for machinist skills. The original partnership is continuing and has recently been expanded to include electrical and mechanical assembly training. Those same skills taught to industry are benefiting today’s graduates at UC Clermont College.

Manufacturing engineering technology encompasses all aspects of producing manufactured goods; from design concepts to product delivery. It includes anything that is made; from microscopic nanobots to Boeing 777s, from pencils to dialysis machines and from contact lenses to designer jeans. Manufacturing engineering technology constantly strives to improve the equipment, processes, and materials used to produce goods as well as promoting production sustainability

The mission of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is to expose students to the various methods, materials, processes, and assemblies of the manufacturing world. The program allows students to gain the proper skill sets to function exceptionally well in the high paced, high tech, arena of manufacturing and to make a difference in the success of their career and of their employer. Students in the manufacturing track are generally interested in and receive greater exposure to the way in which things are made, how they work, how they are put together, and in improving

products. The students in the design track are interested in the design aspect and further develop their ability to convey ideas through drawings, sketches, and written documents. Both areas are enjoyed by innovators. In addition to completing General Education courses in English, math, social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities, students study design, including computer aided design, and learn to select appropriate manufacturing processes. Students gain understanding of what is involved in selecting appropriate materials for manufactured products as well as how manufacturing transforms those materials. Students learn the principles of machining and how to use and program CNC equipment. Courses such as Lean Manufacturing and Plant Layout teach efficiency in manufacturing environments. Many courses consist of project-based exercises designed to prepare students for real world situations. The last semester concludes with a capstone course, encompassing everything students have learned as they design a “real-life” manufacturing solution.

The MFTN program is as diverse in its students as the population of Ohio. Graduates of the program take their place as educated and engaged citizens who play a vital role in the economy of the Greater Cincinnati region.

IV. Assessment Infrastructure

Please include in this section a description of the process by which your program intends to assess its learning outcomes.

Describe which program faculty will be charged with overseeing the execution of

the assessment plan as well as the ways in which they will carry out that charge,

including a description of the planned timeline for assessment.

Identify what kinds of administrative support will be available for those faculty

Please note that assessment plans should be capable of producing reports annually based on their review of the relevant data from their programs. The work of your faculty might also be coordinated and aligned with similar assessment efforts at the college and institutional levels.

Assessment Infrastructure/Use of Findings: Assessment reports are finalized by June 1st and reviewed by program faculty. Program faculty meet during the summer to discuss results, identify issues, and review pedagogy. If warranted, pedagogical changes are made for program improvement. In addition, assessment reports will be shared with the program advisory committee for comments and feedback. Any suggestions of curricular changes will be discussed and evaluated annually at the program advisory committee meeting before the suggestions are taken to the department level for approval.

V. Findings

Here you will describe and explain in this section any multi-year patterns and trends that your assessment efforts have identified, including a description of any relevant relationships to national standards.

VI. Use of Findings

In this final section, you will describe how your program intends to make use of the program-level assessment data it has gathered.

How will this information be presented to and discussed among the faculty?

How might this data or these discussions result in review and possible revision of

course or program learning outcomes and pedagogical strategies?
