In the initial offering of the summercourse described in this paper, high school seniors took a six week, introductory, project-basedcourse in biomedical engineering (BME). This introductory course incorporated bothengineering design and clinical applications. Students were introduced to basic principles ofBME design by exposure to the process of

As manufacturing laboratories are veryexpensive to develop, this program is designed based on distributed and integratedmanufacturing processes on campus. As students can gain access to various facilities,they will be able to make various products, including some emerging products, such asEDM machines, fuel cells, etc. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design, manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization.

One is to describe a method for teaching process,quality and measurement in a way that is engaging and enables students to really internalize thematerial. The second objective is to describe an approach that helps students understand (andexperience) the role and importance of sociological issues and how to address them in a way thatsubstantially increases the probability of project and personal success.

The results of theseeducational initiatives were assessed through two experiments. The first experiment assessed theeducational value of having students develop 4D CAD models for a building project. Thesecond experiment was a preliminary study to determine the educational value of immersingstudents in a virtual construction project and allowing them to develop a construction plan for thefacility.The results of these experiments suggest that students can understand construction projects andplans much better when advanced visualization tools are used.

In this workshop, students were re-quired to work with different types of working drawings (part, subassembly, and assemblydrawings, standard parts; parts list) in order to find out about materials, dimensions, etc. of theproduct being dissected.Third, tolerancing was dealt with in the Design course before a more extensive treatment in theGraphics course. A concern for the stacking of tolerances was introduced “just-in-time”. Thissupported the requirement that the first project, a name plate or “logo”, should be mountable onthe vehicle chassis of Project 2; this required design of the mounting hole or slot sizes to allowassembly.Finally, and most significantly, Project 1 (see below) was designed in the Graphics
