In the fall 2012 semester, one team (out of nine)documented the use of the Mold Design tool to assist in the manufacturability of their product. Afill analysis of a part from that group’s project is shown in Figure 5. Over the course of threesemesters, no students have taken the opportunity to create tooling in lieu of their standardENTC 380 project. Page 23.38.5 Figure 2.

Desired learning outcomesDesired learning outcome are defined based on ABET student outcomes. There are a number ofABET outcomes associated with the design course sequence as follows:The IRE students are required to apply engineering principals to achieve the best solutions thatmeet desire needs of their project (Outcome A). The students must design and conductexperiments to gain required knowledge of their project or to prove that their solution meet theneeds of project. (Outcome B).
