Hands-On Industrial Robotics Laboratory DevelopmentIntroductionThis paper presents efforts of the author in developing practical hands-on laboratory exercises inRobotics and Automation, based-on his work in two different universities. The laboratoryexercises evolved into their current state after more than a decade of teaching with ABB, Eshed,and Fanuc robots. The author’s previous laboratory development included programming olderASEA IRB 6 and modern ABB IRB 140 robots using ARLA and RAPID languages respectivelyas well as integrating conveyors, sensors, Prolight NC machines, and Eshed’s Scorbots into asmall work-cell structure. After working with ASEA and ABB robots, the author had to go backto the FANUC technology due to change in teaching

Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems

manufacturing laboratory is high and some students might not comprehend the linkamong different processes. This model is popular among community colleges or vocationalschools, but may not be best for engineering students since the latter only need to understand themanufacturing processes rather than acquiring hands-on manufacturing skills.We propose a new manufacturing teaching practice at our university by introducing group cellsand simulated production lines. A group of students is responsible to produce products for thewhole group. After learning and practicing basic machine tool operations in a cell (lathe, mill,sawing machine, and specific manual operations), each subgroup of two students operate amachine tool and produce identical components for

It allows for them to gain crucial skills in diagnosing problems on a conceptual andinstrumental level.3 Numerous studies have been conducted over the years on the significance of emphasizingpractical skills in the classroom/laboratory. Students are either placed in one of two categories:active or passive. For the students who are considered active, their dependency on engagement inexperimentation in the course laboratory is critical to their understanding of fundamentalconcepts.1 This imbalance, or gap, in the teaching education leads to several unprepared engineersmoving into the workplace without sufficient skills required to contribute right away

]. Simplylecturing about these steps is insufficient to give students the experience necessary to effectivelyiterate in teams. Failure is one of the main reasons for iteration, but is difficult to teach about.The ability to identify and assess failures or other reasons for iteration can only be properlylearned through hands-on experience. Previous studies have highlighted the ability to teach suchconcepts using hands-on activities such as model building and laboratory exercises. Lemons etal. showed that model building helped students generate ideas, make ties between concept andphysical object, and finally make the students more away of their process-based strategies [6].Mackenchnie and Buchanan have employed hands-on activities in a laboratory class using
