The course that we created consisted of a series of short lectures on the design process aswell as group activities and exercises to further illustrate these topics. We had a shortintroductory simple design exercise and covered reverse engineering, project management and thedesign process. Mini-projects in class served to illustrate the main points of the design process.Students were also given a logbook in which to record any notes from the class or any ideas thatthey might have in order to prepare them for the idea of keeping a laboratory notebook for thepurpose of patent rights.

expenditure of resources. The ability to develop an appropriate experimentalprocedure is so vital that the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)requires that, “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have an ability todesign and conduct experiments”1. Given the number of experiments conducted throughout their undergraduate studies, moststudents that have graduated are well prepared to conduct an experiment that has an establishedset of experimental procedures. Unfortunately, students are not nearly as well prepared to designexperimental procedures. Occasionally, laboratory exercises require students to developexperimental procedures. But even this requirement fails to satisfy the criterion set forth

the teaching process.Key words: teaching, manufacturing, simulation, animation.1 IntroductionTeaching manufacturing processes requires students to acquire a good understanding of theoriesrelated to strength of materials, heat transfer, materials structure, etc. Manufacturing processesare often very complex and difficult to explain; therefore, the implementation of numerouslaboratory sessions is required. Laboratory sessions are expensive, long to prepare and theirefficiency is sometimes affected by parasitic phenomena that make the interpretation oflaboratory results difficult. The use of films is also long and costly. In addition, films make itimpossible to separate the different phenomena that come into play in a manufacturing
