passive lecture-based instruction should be replacedwith active, integrative, project-based learning. Design plays a pivotal role in engineeringeducation as it bridges both engineering and design disciplines, encouraging collaboration inmultidisciplinary teams. Project-based learning stands out as one of the most effectiveapproaches for cultivating these skills. This teaching method enhances student engagement andenables them to apply their freshly acquired skills to real engineering challenges.

In this effort, once the students complete their surfacemodeling study through Mastercam surface creation exercises, they are required to build a 3-Dsurface model to be employed in computer numerically control (CNC) program generation.
