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
Paper ID #24940Teaching Composites Manufacturing Through ToolingMs. Nikki Larson, Western Washington University After receiving my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bradley University, I started working for Boeing. While at Boeing I worked to receive my master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Materials and Manufacturing. After leaving Boeing I spent several years in equipment research and development at Starbucks Coffee Company. From there I decided my heart lied in teaching and left Starbucks to teach Materials Science Technology at Edmonds Community College. I eventually moved to
has several years of research and teaching experience, and he is a member of American Welding Society. His work involves studying residual stress formation in dissimilar weld and additive manufacturing using finite element modeling and neutron diffraction measurement. He has examined and practiced various modern techniques to mitigate weld residual stresses and their consequences. Through his work, he has presented at several conferences and co-authored papers on the reduction of residual stress in dissimilar weld.Milan Rakita, Purdue University Milan Rakita is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the School of Engineering Technology, Purdue University.

Annual Conference & ExpositionOne of the authors, David Malawey, has been teaching capstone-enrolled students closely tomeet the various needs in capstone projects as a Technical Laboratory Coordinator inEngineering Technology Department at Texas A&M University. He has assisted students inconceptual design, selection of materials, selection of manufacturing processes and designing formanufacturing. Through the experience, he has observed that the additive manufacturing (AM)tools have taken on specific roles in prototyping projects. Student teams often require specificinstruction and consultation regarding the use of additive manufacturing tools in order to benefitfrom the AM tools available in the labs.Plastic AM repeatedly adds high
IntegratedManufacturing (CIM) course is taught for the Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering)students as an elective during their graduation year. To develop in-depth knowledge and studentunderstanding of the CIM course and to help them prepare for the work force; course deliverymethodology and the assessment strategies were modified to adapt PBL. Project Based Learning(PBL) - a successful teaching strategy in higher education has been gaining popularity in theengineering education community. The details of the projects, requirements, assessment strategyand the benefits of adapting PBL approach are presented in this paper.Keywords: Project based learning, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Engineering Education,Mechanical Engineering.1.
