year-one course entails for each student 36hours of lectures, 11 hours of tutorials (group size over 30) and 6 hours of scheduled laboratorytime. A year-two course involves 48 hours of lectures, no tutorials, and up to 6 hours ofscheduled laboratory time. Furthermore, while the majority of year-one students attend lectures,under 50% attend tutorials on a regular basis. Laboratory attendance is compulsory. Theinference is that students see lectures as the central part of the educational process. Clearly, withlectures playing such a central role, it is essential that instructors understand their nature well and Page 10.664.2can use the format

ThePCB is then brought under the robot and the dispensing takes place.This system has been developed and demonstrated in Brigham Young University’s ElectronicsAssembly and Automation Laboratory. Due to the absence of a solder-paste screen, this solder-paste dispensing system is capable of lots as small as 1, yet provides the quality of a screen-printing system. The disadvantage is a lower throughput.IntroductionIn the process of assembly of electronic printed circuit boards, the solder paste is usuallydeposited on the printed circuit board (PCB) by means of an automated screen-printing machine.These machines feature good reliability, high throughput, and high quality, but their majorweakness is that there must be a screen built for

Students can develop a comprehensive understanding ofproduction techniques by learning about material qualities, process parameters, and real-worlddifficulties in a manufacturing processes lab.The quick development of technology means that production procedures are always changing.The lab transforms into a dynamic environment for investigating and testing state-of-the-artmethods including smart manufacturing, sophisticated machining, and additive manufacturing.Cagliano & Spina (2000) have emphasized that
