Chinese history. Leighbody andKidd also concluded "learning requires active experiences" in their survey3.Nowak4 ranked teaching strategies and learning activities within technology education. Thehighest ranked strategy was the one with product-oriented and laboratory-based content. Thesecond highest rank was for strategy using technology focus, and the lowest was for strategy thatrelied heavily on classroom orientation.Having hands-on laboratory is one condition, but the laboratory practices should be relevant toprepare graduates for their manufacturing career. Miller5 surveyed 25 department heads of USmanufacturing programs and concluded that an exemplary manufacturing program should: a) Require more technical coursework, b) Require or

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. The MITprogram is a three-term class focusing on engineering topics and developed for implementationat

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

So it can bring technical skills related to energy systems toundergraduate engineering and technology students or professionals interested to learn andexpend their knowledge in these areas. Moreover HONER can be a useful tool and aid forstudents’ research projects or to engage the students in renewable energy related research andproject. In next section we are presenting some examples of how HOMER could be integrated aspart of the existing or planed renewable energy courses. After interacting and learning theHUMER use students and other users (teaching and research assistants, laboratory engineers ortechnicians) are expected to get technical

The basic curriculum has been well set other than the new developments. The newdevelopments are added to the course content on an annual basis due to the dynamic nature ofboth fields. In addition, the laboratories have been equipped with multiple relevant technologiesincluding Stereolithography (SLA Viper), Fused Deposition Modeling (Dimension Elite), and3D Printing (Prometal RXD

The objectives of this program were to “1) delivera knowledge and performance-based course of study focused on the knowledge, skills, andabilities needed to manage and deliver technical projects, 2) provide advanced professionaldevelopment education and training opportunities for experienced professionals, and 3) supportother academic programs in the education and training of their students” [5]. Since Dr.Plemmons was the only faculty member qualified and available to teach the TPM courses, onlyone course was offered per semester for the next two years. The first TPM cohort graduated inMay of 2008 with 4 students.Classes and student growth continued, but progress was limited due to Dr
