, which has been reported as an effective teaching and learning approachwith higher long-term learning [1]. This technique presents better results in the learning processthan only having continuous repetitions [2]. One of the skills that can be evaluated with thistechnique is the retention interval since the student is exposed to the last training to the finalevaluation [3]. Spaced practice strategy can help to reduce the forgetting curve [4] and improvemotor skills [5], by enhancing long-term retention when a variety of tasks are required in alaboratory session class [6].The application of this strategy can periodically train the students in the laboratory, to allowthem to develop the skill of manufacturing in the manual process of lathe and be

. 2Workshop objectives and general description:The two-week camp is part of a consortium project that includes research, education andoutreach programs. More specifically, this program has several objectives:1) Train high-school students to use the Autodesk Inventor™ 3D CAD computer program, tocreate technical designs, and teach them how to print designs in 3D using 3D printers.2) Improve students' STEM skills and Improve students' communication skills3) Bridging the gap in industry and research laboratories in terms of human resources andqualified personnel.4) Introduce high-school students to advanced manufacturing (AM) applications to increase theirinterest in pursuing university degrees that would prepare them for careers in AM.Each year, the
design –an inexpensive Stirling engine that can be implemented at their schools. The project serves as an integrating exercise that combines the necessary hard skills in manufacturing (i.e., technical drawing, material selection, manufacturing process, and metrology) and soft skills (i.e., design methodology, teamwork, schedule planning, documentation, and communication). c) Clicker assessment. Daily clicker assessment summarizes and highlights key points in lectures and laboratory practices. It also helps to retain new knowledge while providing teaching materials for the participants at their respective schools. Much improvement has been observed among participants after the successful
testing facility, mechanical instrumentation, and industrial applications of aircraft engines. Also, in the past 10 years she gained experience in teaching ME and ET courses in both quality control and quality assurance areas as well as in thermal-fluid, energy conversion and mechanical areas from various levels of instruction and addressed to a broad spectrum of students, from freshmen to seniors, from high school graduates to adult learners. She also has extended experience in curriculum development. Dr Husanu developed laboratory activities for Measurement and Instrumentation course as well as for quality control undergraduate and graduate courses in ET Masters program. Also, she introduced the first experiential
and hands-on training is animportant part of their education. VR research projects and laboratories are excellent teaching aidsfor providing students with opportunities to implement the theory they learn in class. Educatingthe younger generations about sustainable and clean energy sources is vital to living in a clean andbright environment in the future. Design tasks were performed by teams of students in theengineering and engineering technology programs after completing the same prerequisites. Eachteam was asked to select wind or solar energy generation technology based on their interest andexperience. Students began their projects by identifying the main components of a given systemand building CAD models. Based on the loading type and the

In 2003 he joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of British Columbia as junior chair of an NSERC sponsored research program in Virtual Machining. After 3 years at UBC, he moved to the Department of Engineering Technology at Western Washington University to focus on teaching. His teaching and scholarship interests lie in the areas of design, CAD/CAM, CAPP and CNC machining.
