This major design experience, typically a senior capstone project, should include theculmination of the foundational materials students learn during their course of study. ABET hasalso defined “engineering design” which includes many concepts of Design Thinking (DT). DTis a multistep process that begins with the formalization of the problem statement and movesthrough implementation of possible solutions with the needs of the end-user in mind. There areseveral ‘flavors’ of design thinking available and we have been following the 5-step designthinking process described by Plattner 2010 where the

Manufacturing courses provide students with vast amount of technical information.They can only convert this information to knowledge if they use it in real life problems orprojects. Most of the manufacturing courses cannot include such experience into theircurriculum. An attempt to integrate design projects into a Manufacturing Processes course hasbeen studied in this paper.
