Complementary online instructional videos and class lectures, Clickerassessment, regular grade feedback, and cellular manufacturing laboratory exercises are utilized.Laboratory exercises are grouped into cellulars to save resources, space, and are synchronizedwith relevant lectures to facilitate students’ understanding. For each laboratory exercise, theoverall lab objectives are covered in class, but details of tooling and machine operation areshown using online professional videos so that students can
]. 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

A CDIO-based Social Manufacturing Laboratory(CDIO-SML) that integrates 3D printing techniques for additive manufacturing ande-commerce for marketing has been developed and described in this paper. The lab consistsof five platforms for 1) teaching integration, 2) requirement acquisition, 3) interactive designand innovation, 4) manufacturing and production processes, 5) cyberspace-based marketingand operations. These five platforms facilitate product development from the requirement,design, manufacturing, marketing, to services.

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

widely-adopted technology trend, there is a significant need to address thetechnical skills of the emerging workforce and improve their quality of training especially in thefield of additive manufacturing. As 21st century industries transition to globally interconnectedconglomerates (Industry 4.0), the training programs also need to evolve to provide the high-techskills required3. This portrays a need for innovative focused advanced engineering trainingtechniques that can increase the pool of highly skilled American workers with requiredproficiency. However, the main implication of teaching emerging technologies in academiapertains to not many institutions (both schools and colleges) continually being able to afford andprocure the required
developments, best learning theoryimplementations and most effective teaching practices and innovations [14].Due to the fast evolution in electro-mechanical and electronic systems, and the ever-changingaspects involved in modern industry, the maintenance of professional and academic currency isabsolutely essential.

The plan followsthe framework proposed by Odden et al. [15] (where applicable) and it is depicted in Table 2. Table 2.

teaching that included an emphasis on laboratory experiences, and a willingness to engage undergraduates in scholarship activities. Recent hires (8 in total) have shifted the faculty mix to one that is now predominantly Ph.D. qualified. However, most have some industrial experience, and all have backgrounds that will help in promoting these core values and mission of the department. The old technology programs were effective in their hands-on approach in large part because of a collegial and collaborative environment that existed between faculty and the department’s highly trained technical staff. This was to be maintained in the new programs. The concerns of staff and their role in supporting the new programs was thus a
