instructor) that can take place in a blended web-based learning environment. None of three modes of interaction function independently in practice. Meanwhile, the web-based theories are to focus on the learning process, instructional design, and the technology to understand the relative effectiveness of the delivery method.(3) The result of this research that requests for web-based learning courses need to become more of a reality, particularly in the courses of manufacturing field. Furthermore, the studies are required in the future where various types of interaction can occur in order to develop learners’ achievements, attitudes and collaborative necessary for different professional course learning through adaptive designed

situationsthat exist which could be capitalized on by developing a new product or service.Creating a Business from OpportunitiesOnce the survey had been completed and the potential opportunities that exist had beenrecognized by each student, the class came together as a group. The areas of potentialopportunity that each student identified were shared with the class. Each of the ideas werecompared to one another to identify the top ideas with the best potential. One of the nextsteps performed by students is to design the company. Students started from developing thename of the company for the service or product that it provided. This is beneficial because itshowed the students that there are many possibilities for entrepreneurship and it also showedthem

AC 2010-33: A STRATEGY FOR INCORPORATING ADVANCEDMANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES INTO UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATIONDavid Wells, North Dakota State University David L. Wells has been Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at North Dakota State University since January 2000. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in process engineering and production engineering systems design and in product innovation and entrepreneurialism. His instruction is characterized by heavy reliance upon project-based, design-centric learning. Course projects are drawn from real industrial applications with real industrial constraints, often interactive with a corporate sponsor. Students are challenged to

The author is notsuggesting any approach over another. Variations in curriculum demands are typically related toregional manufacturing emphasis, state of the economy, demands for emerging knowledge, per-ceived needs, academic research interests, etc. The average of the results have been calculatedusing a value of 0 for ‘eliminate’ and ‘4 for major addition’.
