-sigma. This has hadrepercussion in the academic curriculum as well. More manufacturing engineering andmanufacturing technology programs alike have courses in lean manufacturing and six-sigmaquality management as a result. However, the actual impact of these efforts can be realized onlywhen an academic unit’s “product” (students) can deliver it at the workplace. In order to build apositive student learning in the 21st century world, one needs to follow different and moreinnovative and active learning approach in the classroom. This paper presents a conceptualframework of student learning lifecycle during a semester long course. The paper uses twodistinct case examples to demonstrate the proposed framework for enhancing the studentlearning in a

There is a need tochange the engineering curriculum and create courses that will give future workforce engineersthe skills that manufacturing companies are searching for. One of the concepts that are trying tobe utilized is creating online courses1, 2 ; for the objective presented here the online technology isused but with a different approach than just a regular online course. In this paper, the idea is toexplain, implement, and further enhance engineering education with a different program for theIndustrial, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering department and the Mechanical EngineeringDepartment at the University of Texas at El Paso.

Inthis process it blends theory and design method into ‘Design Approach’ while technology,and working constraints form ‘Design Realization’. Design for Manufacturing is the overlapof Design Approach and Design Realization which is characterised by (i) Design ForManufacture and Assembly considerations (ii) process considerations
