Muskegon Community College is an enthusiastic supporter ofthe manufacturing engineering program as exemplified by MCC’s agreement to allow Western touse the existing MCC for Western’s engineering classes as required. Western and MCC havealso agreed to cooperate in the enhancing, adding, and expanding labs in the future. Thissignificantly reduces the cost of creating a new engineering program. Additionally, MCCallocated faculty office space in the HEC for the Western faculty teaching in this program.To teach the new MFE courses, a new department in the College of Engineering and

The engineering curriculum Page 3.155.1progressed from stand-up lecture and laboratory demonstration format to problem-solving 1mode, visualization, and experimentation. This paradigm shift is encouraging innovation,creativity, design, hands-on experience, solution of real world problems, interdisciplinaryintegration, and response to industrial, economic and social sensitivity.

Portability is needed because of the desire that anyengineering faculty member should be able to teach this course in any classroom in theengineering building or on campus. The second constraint is to enhance the courseportability, and to limit computer use to outside classroom assignments, and homework.So, even though the course includes

This trend of educationcontinued and “by 1900, it was generally recognized that American laboratories and methods forthe teaching of engineering were not surpassed and often not equaled in any other part of theworld. This could not be claimed, however, for much of the theoretical instruction in design” 1.Despite the weakness of design theory instruction, the focus on applied learning and hands-onexperience in engineering schools sufficiently met the needs of the booming manufacturing,automobile
