Studentdecisions have real consequences and their design and plan must work. For example, designinga product assembly fixture is not simply a CAD activity. The fixture is designed, built, tested foraccuracy, reliability, capacity, repeatability of set-up, etc. and must be robust enough to handlethe abuse in a production environment. The fixture must also be capable of withstanding theinevitable variability of the raw materials and parts for which it will be used. The average teamwill

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.
