strongly agree that the programincreased their ability to identify critical requirements, develop and evaluate conceptual designs,and understand the process of design. Complete discussion of assessment information aboutAggies Invent is contained in a companion paper, developed by the authors, and presented at thesame conference.GoalsThe authors undertook the development of a program to address the needs in engineeringeducation being highlighted in research. The following goals were established. Answer the call to develop entrepreneurial minded engineers who are innovative and creative in their design approaches Push teamwork in a concentrated period to practice leadership, followership, compromise, attaining a goal, and working through

the common fundamentals and practices thatdefine the theory and effective practice of engineering, technology, and science, but alsocommunicate these principles in an academic forum. With this in mind, a baccalaureatedegree program in Design Engineering was proposed in 2004. Subsequent modificationsto it were made in 2008, 2010, and 2012 based on assessment outcomes.Since the proposal of this original program, there has been an increase in demand forqualified manufacturing design engineering professionals. This is because this programoffers practical training in the area of manufacturing design engineering. Unlike atraditional Mechanical Engineering program, this program emphasizes those technicalskills that would build on each student’s

senior students and have completed a course in Statisticsand a bulk of engineering sciences.Deming [3] said that ‘industry in America needs thousands of statistically minded engineers,chemists, doctors of medicine, purchasing agents and managers’ and this is more applicableto any country that aspires to make industrial progress. There is a firm unguided belief amongstudents that CNC machines produce components without any variation. Considering these itwas decided that the experiment would be ‘the measurement of process capability of an NCmachining process’.2.1 Nature of ExperimentsFeisel and Rosa [4] in their thought-provoking article entitled ‘The Role of the Laboratoryin Undergraduate Engineering Education’ identify three basic types of
