A project between the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and Western Dakota Technical Institute aims to stop those misunderstandings before they start. Students from the two schools are cooperating on a design and manufacturing project that links designers from South Dakota Tech with manufacturers from WDTI. " In industry, engineers are often regarded as ignorant and without common sense or arrogant by the people on the manufacturing side, and engineers often believe that manufacturers don't have good ideas and knowledge, " Chenoa Jensen, a Tech mechanical engineering instructor, said. " Communication doesn't always happen." " I think the real world scenario of technical people working with engineers in designing parts is a realistic way of designing, " Jerry Gossard, a WDTI instructor, said. " The technicians know what the equipment is capable of designing and the engineers then become aware of the capabilities. If a design is not manufactureable, then the design defeated the purpose. It helps engineers make functional and useable designs." Tech students are leading the design of the product – a key chain – and WDTI students are leading the manufacturing. Students will inscribe " Tech" on one side of each key chain, and they will personalize the other side. All 120 students involved in the project will receive a key chain. The students will work together at the following times in WDTI's Mickelson Building. Wednesday, Nov. 14: 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. Thursday, Nov. 15: 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. # 30# |
