tomanufacturing engineers is complex due to the subject matter that spawns acrossdisciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics and manufacturing engineering. As one Page 11.193.9endeavors to expose the students to the mind-boggling array of conventional and modernmaterials at atomic levels to bulk structural levels, their intrinsic and extrinsic properties,their eco-economic impact, etc., it becomes a juggling act to give justice to the multi-dimensional aspects of materials education. In addition, the expectations of the variousstakeholders in the teaching – learning transaction are different and it is necessary toaddress their needs. Simultaneously, it is

product development. While he has not published a cohesive presentation of his views, his remarks at various manufacturing engineering conferences have been very well structured. Dr. Jack’s ideas have been influential in the recent evolution of the process engineering and production engineering courses. In both cases, the debt to creative minds is gratefully acknowledged. However, this paper and the ideas contained therein the author’s creation, and any errors are mine alone.Bibliography: 1. David L. Wells, A. Allen Arthur and Laura M.

planned in the design scheme in order to direct visitor attention and interest to theexhibit kiosk, which can be seen as the first step of facilitating knowledge acquisition.In addition, the “notebook” and the “coffee mug with pens” recall the products that come intoexistence as a result of engineering design and manufacturing processes, which is conveyed inthe Design Game. This also provides a necessary connection in children’s mind betweenconsumer products and processes that bring these products into existence. It has been suggestedthat this design extends the straightforward appearance of an interactive exhibit accessible byonly a computer screen and a mouse on a table. The screen is embedded into the “coffee mug,”and the game can be played

This trend is driven by companies who have implemented or aretrying to implement lean
