Externally she is the chair of American Makes Additive Manufacturing Maintenance and Sustainment Advisory Group started in 2015. In 2017 she was a recipient of an America Makes Ambassador Award. Marilyn’s Ph.D. degree in Systems Science and Industrial Engineering was received from Binghamton University in 1999. She also earned a Master’s Degree in Advanced Technology at Binghamton. Marilyn graduated from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY with Bachelor’s and Masters of Science degrees.

Talk: Towards Self-Aware Manufacturing

Dr. Tony Schmitz

Professor and Assistant Director, Energy Production and Infrastructure Center
University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Tony Schmitz received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Temple University in 1993, his MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida in 1996, and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida in 1999. Schmitz completed a post-doctoral appointment at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and was then employed as a Mechanical Engineer from 1999-2002. During this time, he was also a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University. Schmitz accepted an appointment in the University of Florida’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (UF MAE) in 2002 and joined the Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science Department at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2011.

MBE 101 Workshop

The workshop will include an overview of MBD and MBE fundamentals, data types and dataset classifications, how MBD and MBE differ from traditional business processes, justification for, benefits of, and opportunities created by MBE, cultural and business implications of MBE, transition and implementation strategies, and what it takes to become a model-based enterprise.  Key takeaways will be understanding data types and dataset classes, the effect of MBE on how we do business, the difference between a document-based environment and a model-based environment, and how MBE enhances productivity, quality, and throughput within an enterprise and throughout its supply chain.
