Women still rarely choose to seek employment in advanced manufacturing. Lack of familiarity with manufacturing jobs and education programs, lack of role models, and too few experiential opportunities contribute to women not choosing manufacturing jobs as well as other jobs traditionally held by men (Reha, Lufkin, & Harrison, 2009; St. Rose & Hill, 2013; Starobin & Laanan, 2008). Nontraditional jobs for women often provide higher wages and more opportunity for advancement than traditional jobs for women. This study is a qualitative thematic narrative analysis of factors that influenced women who chose an advanced manufacturing program at a community college to enter employment in a male-dominated career sector. Intersectionality and agency were the overarching concepts used to examine how working-class women navigated the unfamiliar spaces of higher education and manufacturing. Data were collected through interviews that spanned across several years as the women in the study advanced through the community college and into the manufacturing workplace. The primary research questions included: 1) What motivated the women to begin the program and what were their doubts? 2) How did the women’s experiences in the community college and participation in an advanced manufacturing program influence their education and career choices? And, 3) What might be learned through their stories, particularly their perspectives related to identity and agency? Women reported their top reason for initially pursuing education and employment in manufacturing was the potential income and employee benefits; however, as the women progressed, they reported additional benefits that included increased confidence at work and at home. The women cited earning a college credential as the most transformative aspect of their journey and attributed unexpected personal growth and self-discovery to their college experience. Additional findings pertained to the value of the college support program, the challenges of exercising agency in a patriarchal environment, and the advantages of women’s ways of working for both the employee and the employer. The results of this study have financial implications for women, programmatic implications for colleges, workforce development implications for communities, and employee recruitment and retention implications for manufacturers.

<p>Micro- and nanoparticles (MNP) attract much attention owing to their unique properties, structural tunability, and wide range of practical applications. To deposit these important materials on surfaces for generating functional coatings, a variety of special delivery systems and coating/printing techniques have been explored. Herein, spray coating technique is a promising candidate to advance the field of nanotechnology due to its low-cost, high-deposition rate, manufacturing flexibility, and compatibility with roll-to-roll processing. Despite great advances, direct scalable spray writing of functional materials at high-spatial resolution through fine patterning without a need of vacuum and mask equipment still remains challenging. Addressing these limitations requires the development of efficient spray deposition techniques and novel manufacturing approaches to effectively fabricate functional coatings. To this end, this dissertation employs three different spray coating methods of (1) cold spray; (2) atomization-assisted supersonic spray, and (3) dual velocity regime spray to address the aforementioned limitations. A comprehensive set of coating materials, design principles, and operational settings for each spray system are tailored for rapid, direct, and sustainable deposition of MNP on various substrates. Besides, through the two-phase flow modeling, droplets dispersion and deposition characteristics were investigated under both subsonic and supersonic flow conditions to uncover the process-structure-property relationships of the established spray systems. Moreover, novel spray-based manufacturing approaches are developed to fabricate functional coatings in various applications, including (i) functional polymer metallization, (ii) printed flexible electronics, (iii) advanced thin-film nanocoating, (iv) laser direct writing, and (v) electronic textiles.</p>

Von Beginn der flexiblen Automatisierung mit numerisch gesteuerten Werkzeugmaschinen und der zugehörigen Programmier-Software bis zum gegenwärtigen Entwicklungsstand (Industrie 4.0) wird die historische Entwicklung von 1960 bis 2020 aus der Position eines aktiven Mitgestalters dargestellt. Interessanterweise vollzogen sich die wesentlichen Entwicklungsetappen für die ersten dreißig Jahre parallel in beiden deutschen Staaten. Aus den Lehren des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden im Rahmen der UNESCO zum friedlichen Informationsaustausch geeignete wissenschaftliche Organisationen gegründet: • IFIP (Internationale Föderation für Informationsprozesse, speziell Arbeitsgrupp CAM • CIRP (Internationale Akademie der Fertigungstechniker) Mit der Berufung und aktiven Mitarbeit in diesen Organisationen war eine Plattform für die deutsch-deutsche und darüber hinaus internationale Kooperation gegeben. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt für den geordneten Informationsaustausch im Rahmen der gesamten dynamischen Entwicklung im Gebiet der Produktionsautomatisierung war dabei die im 3-Jahres-Rhythmus durchgeführte Konferenzserie PROLAMAT (Programming Languages for Machine Tools), gestartet 1969 in Rom. Im weiteren Verlauf wurde dieser Begriff viel breiter für das gesamte Gebiet der automatisierten Informationsverarbeitung und Fertigung erweitert. Ein besonderer Höhepunkt war dabei die erfolgreichste PROLAMAT-Konferenz 1988 in Dresden. Parallel dazu erfolgten an der TU Dresden Entwicklungen in Richtung CAD/CAM-Labor und später CIM-TT (CIM-Technologietransferzentrum). Damit war an der TU Dresden 1989/90 ein Entwicklungsstand gegeben, der unmittelbar zu gemeinsamen deutsch-deutschen und internationalen EU-Projekten genutzt werden konnte. Dieses hohe Entwicklungsniveau wurde zur offiziellen Eröffnung des CIM-TT-Zentrums in den Eröffnungsreferaten durch den damaligen Wissenschaftsminister Dr. Riesenhuber und Ministerpräsident Prof. Biedenkopf gewürdigt. Durch die zum gleichen Zeitpunkt verfügte veränderte Nutzung des für das CIM-TT im Aufbau befindliche Gebäude durch die neugegründete Juristische Fakultät wurde der erfolgreich vorbereitete Weg verhindert. Unabhängig davon blieb meine fachliche Orientierung mit den gravierenden Weiterentwicklungen eng verbunden. Dazu trug das Sabbatical-Jahr in Norwegen und den USA 1992 maßgeblich bei. Mit dem Forschungsaufenthalt war die Entscheidungsvorbereitung für die vorgesehene Groß-Investition für das neueste generative Verfahren verbunden. Gleichzeitig mit dem fundierten Nachweis der bestgeeigneten sog. Rapid-Prototyping-Anlage vom deutschen Anbieter EOS München war die TU Dresden auf diesem neuen High-Tech-Gebiet 1992 in einer anerkannten Spitzenposition. Mit meiner Publikation eines der ersten Fachbücher im Gebiet Advanced Prototyping (jetzt Additiv Manufacturing) war darüber hinaus eine gute Basis für weitere innovative Aktivitäten gegeben Dazu gehört die Gründung einer High-Tech-Firma (SFM - Schnelle Fertigung von Modellen) mit bemerkenswerten beispielgebenden Ergebnissen. Hervorgehoben soll die zwanzigjährige aktive Kooperation mit der Universität Stellenbosch (RSA - Republik Südafrika), die unter anderem mit meiner Berufung zum Extraordinary Professor im Jahr 2003 verbunden ist. Mit der Eröffnung eines Technologie-Zentrums nach dem Vorbild des ursprünglichen CIM TT -Zentrums der TU Dresden konnte für Südafrika ein wertvoller Beitrag geleistet werden. Das gesamte Lebenswerk ist gekennzeichnet durch die Entwicklungsschritte von der Mathematisierung über die Algorithmierung bis hin zur Programmierung vielfältiger technologischer Sachverhalte. Die Ergebnisse sind in einer Anzahl von persönlichen Fachbüchern (z.T. übersetzt in das Russische und Ungarische) wie auch Konferenzberichten und mehr als 200 Veröffentlichungen (deutsch und englisch) dokumentiert.

<p>A thesis study investigating the development and evaluation of a computer vision (CV) system for a manufacturing assembly task is reported. The CV inference results are compared to a Manufacturing Process Plan and an automation method completes a buyoff in the software, Solumina. Research questions were created and three hypotheses were tested. A literature review was conducted recognizing little consensus of Industry 4.0 technology adoption in manufacturing industries. Furthermore, the literature review uncovered the need for additional research within the topic of CV. Specifically, literature points towards more research regarding the cognitive capabilities of CV in manufacturing. A CV system was developed and evaluated to test for 90% or greater confidence in part detection. A CV dataset was developed and the system was trained and validated with it. Dataset contextualization was leveraged and evaluated, as per literature. A CV system was trained from custom datasets, containing six classes of part. The pre-contextualization dataset and post-contextualization dataset was compared by a Two-Sample T-Test and statistical significance was noted for three classes. A python script was developed to compare as-assembled locations with as-defined positions of components, per the Manufacturing Process Plan. A comparison of yields test for CV-based True Positives (TPs) and human-based TPs was conducted with the system operating at a 2σ level. An automation method utilizing Microsoft Power Automate was developed to complete the cognitive functionality of the CV system testing, by completing a buyoff in the software, Solumina, if CV-based TPs were equal to or greater than human-based TPs.</p>
