in the CAD/CAM curriculum taught in the junior year.Computer Aided Reverse Engineering of cork opener, gear puller, cell phone case, and cellphone cover were the selected course projects taken by students in the CAD/CAM course. Oneof the main objectives of the curse project was for the students to extend their knowledge indesign process and gain a hands-on experience in the field of solid modeling and productrealization. A caliper and a micrometer were used to measure the main dimensions of the parts,and a solid modeling program was used for creating the parts model and assembly as well.

course inmicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS), co-developed by a multidisciplinary team of facultyfrom mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and materials engineering. Central to thedesign of the course is an emphasis on implementing modules that are able to overcome criticalbarriers related to (1) diverse academic background from different majors and (2) practicallimitations in microfabrication facilities. These points are vital for promoting MEMS education,because they expand the student pool and reach audiences that need a cost-effective way tosupport instructional laboratory experiences in MEMS without the broader infrastructure that isoften limited only to large research institutions.Laboratory projects emphasize skills in design
