Once thestudents identified the problem, they interviewed stakeholders (such as nurses or paramedics),sketched solutions, and used AM and low budget prototyping to develop devices addressing thechallenge.One of the essential parts of the course was to deliver the innovation and entrepreneurshipcomponents of NSF’s I-Corps model to the teams.

However, the students did nothave a focus of cleaning the work space or developing a static work area for future students. Inthe summer of 2009, it was determined by one of the co-authors of this effort that a clearlydefined plan had to be initiated to improve the overall condition of the robotics laboratory. In thesummer students are not using the laboratory for coursework so there was an opportunity. Partof the continuous improvement process included actually upgrading the laboratory space,equipment, and curriculum (in the form of updating the experiments the students would beperforming).

satisfying customers’ needs for value purchasing.Manufacturing Engineering is a bottom-up discipline, based upon a strong foundation of scienceand mathematics. The linchpin is comprehensive understanding of the science of the interactionsbetween tool and workpiece. The production system of the factory is built on this foundation,with all design and operating decisions emanating from fundamental principles of the physicsand chemistry (and more recently, the biology) of materials processing. ManufacturingEngineering is also a design profession, where practitioners are required to make decisions tocreate processing plans and production systems based on both fundamental analysis and the

In a previouspaper [4], the author outlined the utilization of a two-tier teaching plan to effectively dealwith these challenges. In the first tier, called as ‘essential teaching plan’ all of theessential teaching elements were included (class notes, assignments, exams, labexperiments and so on). The second tier, termed the ‘course enrichment plan’, a range ofinnovative ideas were described that are in-tune with the contemporary teaching –learning environment such as multi-media resources.

Traditionally, thislaboratory activity is carried out during two sessions; in the first session half of the time is for anintroductory explanation of the use of the manual lathe machine and in the second half thestudents start a hand on work with the piece. During the second session the students continuewith the project so they can finish all the manual lathe operations.Typically, students have some difficulties to achieve the targeted tolerances and they show somefrustration in the mid-term project presentation. To improve the students’ performance (primarilymeasured by tolerance gap) and experience, during the spring 2019 year was planned to apply aspaced practice strategy
