This new approach is proposed to replace the traditional manufacturinglaboratory practice. Group cells with different machines are utilized rather than havingduplicated of same machines. The objectives of this paper are to: a) Compare the Traditional and Group Cell approaches for university students, b) Presents an example of machining laboratory exercise.Literature ReviewHands-on laboratory practice is the key to effective learning.

Authors categorized this as information seeking and found that students sought additionalhelp through TAs and group members. “If it came right down to it if I did have questions I couldjust ask (the TA), then the other member of the group and say, ‘do you know what’s going on?’I think having the people there was helpful.” Instructors should encourage student collaborationand may need to provide some guidance to PBL learners. Another emerging student concept was effort. Student 6 discussed the payoff for theeffort required to solve equations by hand. “It helps me understand

Interdependence was high due to the complex and high-stakes nature of the project.

performance, it is found thatstudents who earned an “A” submitted almost all assigned homework during the semester. Onthe other hand, if the students submitted only 63% of their homework, chances of their success inthose courses were little. Another observation states that homework score is also correlated withthe final course grade. For example, when a student earned an “A” on the course, his/herhomework score was above 90 on average. Similar conclusion can be made for those studentswho scored “B,” “C,” “D,” and “F.” Many TAMIU students work very hard in their courses, yeta regular class time may not be sufficient to create and interactive environment to address all theproblems that students may have for the course.

The objective of this work was to develop a low-cost alternative to this tube foreducational use especially in developing countries where cost is a primary issue for promotinghands-on educational activities.
