The process of the coursemodification took significant planning effort along with lengthy restructuring of the material andcreating extensive supporting material that would assist students with actively engaging in thelearning process.The paper describes some of the modifications made to the course along with the resultsachieved over the four semesters that the course has been taught in the new format.

The amount of voice narration hasa small effect on file size, but compared to the space needed for video storage, it can beconsidered to be insignificant.

Inaddition, the assessment also helps to improve the program and provide necessary input forbudget and other resources allocation within the school. Since assessment is handled at variouslevels, it is very critical to have a solid assessment plan that would effectively evaluate successand allow for the assessment to be completed within time. It should also provide input on howmuch learning students have accomplished in the program. As part of the program design, thePLOs, once they are finalized

, coordinatinglaboratory work with lecture, and organization and preparation for class and laboratoryactivities, are important for their learning and success. These results support the findingsreported by Guskey regarding the importance of planning and organization. The majorityof EET seniors perceive that coordinating laboratory work with lecture is important fortheir learning. When a faculty member tries to coordinate laboratory with class, studentssee the application of technical theory and develop a clear understating of how toimplement laboratory experiments/projects. This result appears to support one ofKnowles [15] fundamental assumptions about instruction for adults: “Adults learn bestwhen the subject content is clear and of immediate importance

Development is sustainable if it involves a non-decreasing average quality oflife.” According to a United Nations 2016 report2, for the first time countries around the worldhave added sustainable development plans and a record number have agreed to make positivesteps to address climate change.

However,the grade distributions showed that they in fact performed better in the summer format.When considering the future, since summer offerings seem to have definite positive potential interms of student performance, progression and learning, the intention is to encourage thecontinued and increased offering of such courses. Further, since these are core foundationalcourses within the program, the real measure of their success should be gauged by tracking theperformance of these specific students in their direct follow-on courses, and not solely via theirperformance in the summer course alone; a tracking plan is being implemented for

In addition,with ever increasing demands on integration and concurrency in the product development cycleand in many cases globalization of the effort, CAD/CAM systems cannot be considered stand-alone systems. They are in fact key data authoring and manipulation tools that prepare data thatis central to most other product development activities such as analysis, optimization, processplanning, resource and production planning, supply chain management, marketing andadvertising, and quality control. As such their use must be considered a critical function for anycompany that wishes to be competitive in creating products that will be successful in the globaleconomy.The above motivates the need for highly trained CAD/CAM technologists

The less the students have to think about operating the equipment the more thought they can put into the concepts.In addition to the exercise specific steps listed above there are plans for a significant upgrade tothe entire suite of exercises.

. These are alternatives to preferred sizes forshaft cross-sectional diameters. Using preferred sizes in design reduces component varieties andminimizes production cost. It also maximizes the benefits of standardization of components andproducts. Adopting metric prefer sizes at the design phase ensures that subsequent planning anddecisions will be metric based. Design Instructors (technical and non-technical) in our collegesand universities thus have the greatest leverage in accelerating metrication if they would chooseto “go metric”. If graduates of technology and engineering are competent in SI units beforegraduation, they can make a profound impact on the economy and country due to the fact thattechnology drives modern economies.
