evolvedaccording to government and industry demand. Agriculture, the mechanical arts, andmanufacturing dominated the 19th century needs, resulting in the development of shop courseswhere students gained hands-on experience with machine tools for farming and manufacturing.1With the rise of electrical engineering in the early 1900’s, combined with increasing promotion Page 22.913.3of a scientific approach to practice and the desire to “professionalize”1 engineering and establish  it as a credible academic discipline, laboratory experience became the norm for practicalexperiences within the engineering

experience both the frustration and satisfactionof that experience. Such learning prepares them for professional practice in ways that a projectrequiring only a paper/computer design does not. For instance, students in the lower end designteam, while having some background due from their coursework, became much more proficientand confident in their understanding of design and machining. Students designed, programmed,setup, machined, and inspected complex CNC parts. They assembled the parts into a completemachine and successfully tested it. They were able to adapt their engineering skill sets to theproject at hand. This was a lifelong-learning experience the student will not soon forget.Bibliography 1 Sheppard, S., Macatangay, K., Colby, A., &
