Schools, students,and companies benefit from opportunities to apply these to actual manufacturingproblems in industrial environments.The technology program at our university has historically included several classes insolid modeling and CAD software. For the past ten years computer simulations have beenincluded to more effectively prepare students for use and application of thesetechnologies. More recently numerous class projects with local manufacturing companieshave been incorporated, and currently a three quarter sequence of courses is required forstudents in our Manufacturing Technology major.

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

In general, all of the students are givenfoundational manufacturing and design concepts, principles, and methodologies of theengineering disciplines during their first two years. MET students have to finish their study ofMaterial Processing I (MET 177), Computer Aided Drafting (MET 142), and productdevelopment and design (MET 144) courses before they are accepted by the program (see Figure1).

details of the class and the successes of this partnership.IntroductionIn southeastern Indiana, manufacturing is one of the dominant economic activities. About 30percent of the overall workforce works directly for a manufacturing company.1 According to theEconomic Opportunities through Education by 2015 (EcO15), this workforce is not sufficientlytrained to meet the needs of the manufacturers.1 To meet these needs, community educationleaders, industry, and academia have partnered together in order to assist the workforce and thefuture workforce meet these needs. Part of this partnership has been to assist all of the secondaryschools within the southeastern region of Indiana offer Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses.These classes are being used to

Starting with measurements, students are givenlab exercises that illustrate the techniques needed to manufacture a machined part. Followingmeasuring, there is a two-week introduction to the machines, which requires individuals tooperate the lathes and teams of two to operate the mills. Next, the students are given a two-weekproject where they individually make a screwdriver using the available equipment. The finalproject consists of making an air motor in teams of five, where each team is responsible forproducing one-half of the parts of the air motor. During the two projects

In other words, Technology students typically want to hear more about theimmediate applicability of the curriculum where as pure Engineering students may be equallyinterested in the theory behind an application. Therefore, most of the graduate courses nowadayshave a project component in it to provide the students with the exposure to real world problems.While this is certainly a key to boost their knowledge and skills of
and understand basic manufacturing topics in the classroom.1 For this reason, it is essential for ME undergraduates to understand how parts and components are manufactured, with the goal of developing better engineers and designers. With the incorporation of several open-‐ended design challenges and hands-‐on projects throughout Field Session, specifically related to manufacturing topics, students begin to learn the following concepts early on in the undergraduate curriculum: 1) proper dimensioning and tolerancing, 2) manufacturing tolerances, 3) material selection 4) automated manufacturing techniques, 5) manual manufacturing techniques, 6) CAD-‐CAM

Adapting a Freshman Manufacturing Course to Different Learning StylesIntroductionOur mechanical engineering curriculum includes a freshman course in Design ForManufacturing (DFM). This course introduces project management skills via a curriculumemploying project-based learning. These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are
