consolidated forpossible publication as an introductory textbook on this subject matter.KEY WORDS: Automotive Lightweighting, Multi-materials, Joining, AssessmentBackgroundThe need to develop a new course on Automotive Lightweighting comes from the currentdemands from automotive industries and their suppliers who are interested to employgraduates with basic knowledge in this area learned from a course while they are still inthe college. Currently, not many colleges offer a dedicated course on this subject matter,although many topics of this proposed course are addressed in several other core coursessuch as Manufacturing Technology, Engineering Materials, Mechanics of Materials andMachine Design, Computer Aided Design and Analysis, Automobile

Problems withretention and gaining student interest early in the program led to the creation of three newcourses for 1st and 2nd year Mechanical Engineering students. In the first semester, students takethe course “Production and Manufacturing Processes”. The goal of this course is to teach thebasics of manual milling and turning, CNC milling and turning, welding, and injectionmolding/casting. Each student gets hands-on experience working with shop/lab equipment. In the2nd semester, students enroll in “Mechanical Engineering Design Technologies”. This
