. “Manufacturing WorkEnvironments”, a graduate course at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) addresses the issuesrelated to work measurement, method improvement, safety, and ergonomic aspects in workdesign. As a practice oriented teaching school, GVSU highly emphasizes the culmination of thelearning process by the realistic execution of the principles and techniques taught in a course. Inthat tradition, this course employed a semester ending project as an important tool to develop theproper understanding of the course materials.This particular project idea involved improving the efficiency, performance and workenvironment at the Science, Technology, and Engineering Preview Summer (STEPS) camp heldat Grand Valley State University.

skilled workforce is necessary for the continued prosperityand viability of these manufacturers. According to the council on competitiveness, the nextgeneration of innovators needs to have skills that make them: 1) better at using scientific inquirytechniques, 2) better at the use and development of technical designs and 3) equipped forchanges in the nature of their jobs (Council on Competitiveness, 2004)5. The problems thatfuture engineers and technologists face render obsolete the sole use of traditional teachingmethods. Traditional teaching methods can be defined as a formal way of presenting content byan instructor (Vella, 1992)23. Utilizing this method of teaching is oftentimes a one-way processin which learners are not stimulated to

This results in a hands-on, active learningexperience that will impact all students in the class. In addition to learning research methods byparticipation, this approach incorporates additional topics and broader contemporary topics.2. PurposeThe traditional ergonomics syllabus has focused on the physical requirements of manual laborworkers. While manufacturing and other jobs requiring physical labor remain vital componentsin the workforce, many developed countries have transitioned to a knowledge economy. By2003, more than half of all workers in the United States used a computer1 and the number

An integral component of this research is the inclusion of pedagogical sound techniquesin the development, implementation and evaluation of the module for teaching gauge R&R. It isthe authors’ experience that most engineering instruction is still largely conducted in a lectureformat. While lecturing is an excellent method of communicating large amounts of information,students experience passive learning and the amount of learning that occurs is often small.5There are many excellent textbooks in the field of quality, such as Montgomery1, that provideexplanations of quality topics and practice problems. However the use of textbooks andhomework problems emphasize the lower-order cognitive skills from

– “Why Clickers?”“Audience response systems” (ARSs), “Classroom Response Systems”, “Response Devices” ormore simply, “Clickers” that allow students to actively engage in the teaching/learning processare seeing increased use in many engineering classrooms. With these small hand-held devices,students can electronically and anonymously submit an answer to a multiple choice questionposed by the instructor and displayed to the class. The instructor is then able to gauge howstudents are doing with respect to particular course concepts or simply gather generalinformation about the class. The students are able to compare their responses with the class andassess their own understanding.There has been a quite a bit of research on the use of clickers in
