interaction among students sinceeach person will produce his/her own individual part. At the end of training lessons, someinstructors may verbally describe the link of different processes and how a product would flowamong those processes. A manufacturing department typically has to purchase many identicalmachine tools and different tooling sets for variety of possible operations on each machine type.The operating cost of such manufacturing laboratory is high and some students might notcomprehend the link among different processes. This model is popular among communitycolleges or vocational schools, but may not be best for engineering students since the latter onlyneed to understand the manufacturing processes and flow sequence rather than acquiring

From the students’ side there is no additional cost involved as the project is fully sponsored by Mazak.Eighteen students have been assigned to nine different industrial projects ranging from productimprovement to optimization of manufacturing processes. Example of the project titles are:Automatic Assembly of Dangerous Materials, Robot Electrical Test Box for CNC Machines, etc.Using data obtained from surveys conducted duration the semester we will assess student’sperformance and make the necessary adjustments to improve the program.IntroductionMazak is the global leader in the design and manufacture of highly

also follow theproject based approach in teaching leadership to engineering students ((Khattak et al., 2012).Penn State’s (USA) Engineering Leadership Development Minor (EDLM) is a slightly differentmodel than any project based leadership model used in laboratories. The EDLM Model requiresstudents to take multiple courses in leadership focusing on core leadership qualities, globalleadership qualities, and 21st century leadership qualities (Schuhmann, 2011). Similarly,Babucia, Craig, and Connor (2012) discuss MIT satellite development program projects whichprovide students with the leadership education through a project based approach.

Also, the four core project management courses utilize the same set of primary textbooks, thereby saving students a significant amount of money and enabling the faculty to coordinate and collaborate on course content.ImplicationsAlthough funding is currently very tight for academic institutions, there is a path to grow newprograms and establish new departments that align with the needs and interests of students andemployers.
