. Similarly, Mold Making I and II were taught in the springsemester.Combining the laboratories in this way allowed a different approach to teaching the laboratorysections. Since the enrollment numbers for each section were small, instructors decided thatlaboratory sections of various courses could be offered concurrently. Instead of having dedicatedlab time for each course, they could all be combined (Table 4). Combining the laboratories wasnot as complex as it may appear. Although a student could take nearly any course in anysemester they mostly followed the traditional schedule pretty closely. This meant that in the fallsemester for example, students were either in Machining I, or Die Making I and II. In alaboratory populated by a larger number of

The students were challenged with five different assignments coveringdifferent sections of ergonomics, work design and safety. In addition, each student needsto submit a term paper or case study focusing on any specific application area ofergonomics towards the end of the semester. For each assignment, the students wereasked to study and investigate the ergonomic issues from their daily life accessories,classrooms and laboratories and offer possible solutions for the non-ergonomic designsand issues. For each assignment, the students need to prepare a report including the imageand brief description of the non-ergonomic design

the conventional machine tools that populate the typical manufacturing engineering laboratory. Many processes require quite different machine tools (e.g., manufacture of electronic devices or nano-scale products). Others at least require resolution, tolerances and control well-beyond the traditional norms (e.g., micro-manufacturing). A simple or universal solution to the equipment challenge does not seem to be available. University budgets everywhere are under great pressure, and coaxing out the significant new investments necessary will likely be at long odds. There are very few opportunities to compete for grant funding for teaching apparatus -- not nearly enough to serve the needs of even a significant fraction of
