Our goal for this project was to gainsome foundational understanding of how teachers plan to teach engineering, and their attentionto implementing other educational innovations. To achieve this goal, we analyzed a sample of42 teacher created lesson plans drawn from a larger sample of over 300 STEM related lessonplans. We found that the teachers communicated incomplete understanding of engineeringpractices and design, yet created plans that shared the responsibility for assignment decisionswith the students.

But knowledge of the process is essential for amanufacturing engineer and therefore should be taught to students in theundergraduate courses. Work holding is an important part in manufacturing planningand is readily affected by the manufacturing process chosen. It influences thematerial-form choice and the number of settings required. In order to educate thisimportant activity to the students an exercise that can demonstrate all these aspectswas needed.
