Noteworthy amongthese was an NSF grant to the Manufacturing Engineering Education Partnership, whichdeveloped an integrated practice-based engineering curriculum called the Learning Factory (LF).The LF balances analytical and theoretical knowledge with physical facilities for productrealization in an industrial-like setting. It stresses hands-on engineering activities and industrycollaboration, and offers students an alternative path to a degree that directly prepares them forcareers in manufacturing4-5. A drawback of the LF model however is its high implementationcost, which limits its transferability.2. Development of the MILL Model

Students are presented open-ended design challenges and given theopportunity to generate ideas, make decisions, and present their solutions. However, a traditionalapproach to this assessment in design, with fairly independent (or group) work and thenpresentations at the end of the project, limits student learning because learning is seen to stopwhen the assignment is submitted for evaluation.
