, Active Learning (SPIRAL) ApproachAbstractEngineering is continuously evolving and producing increasingly complex systems. The com-plexity of these systems requires a wider breadth of material to be covered, which makes it moredifficult to provide high quality education. Also, while student numbers are vastly increasing,faculty, staff, and resources are dwindling. The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Uni-versity of Utah has been focusing on a new curriculum that covers multiple engineering subjects,design techniques, methodologies, and knowledge of skills in professional practice. This is knownas the Student-driven Pedagogy of Integrated, Reinforced, Active Learning (SPIRAL) approach.This paper describes teaching manufacturing using

This article explains how these challenges in engineering education and delivery ofskills were effectively addressed with the “Learning by Doing” paradigm while keeping in pacewith advanced manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing.2. Literature ReviewRecent interest in improving pedagogical approaches in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields has stimulated research in many universities. Several educationalmethodologies are reviewed in the context of manufacturing and through the lens ofsustainability. It is found that there is a need to identify and understand the STEM educationalchallenges

The modules givestudents hands on experience with simple and more sophisticated instrumentation for optical,mechanical, and chemical characterization of surfaces. Future work will expand the range ofmaterials, include white light interferometry, continue robotics implementation for more of themethods, and include adding sandblasting, coatings, and solvent treatments to evaluate methodsof improving surface characteristics.

, the idea of integrating GD&Tthroughout an engineering curriculum has found some traction. In a recent article18 published outof the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), researchers partnered with industry(mainly Caterpillar) to establish innovative, hands-on approaches to teaching GD&T throughoutseveral activities as part of a freshman engineering course on design and graphics. AlthoughGD&T was originally considered “difficult to teach and learn,” the new activities focused onmanufacturing and inspection, in addition to form, fit, and function of design. The new effortswere not assessed, but the authors do conclude that GD&T is a fundamental engineering tool thathas continued to gain emphasis in industry and

This is especiallysignificant in light of recent modifications to funding in higher education within Ohio, whichshifts the funding metrics to degrees granted as opposed to enrollment. In light of thismodification, many programs have attempted to reduce the number of credit hours contained,thereby making the addition of new content challenging. One potential solution to this
