American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Collaborative Learning in an Online-Only Design for Manufacturability CourseAbstractIn contemporary design-for-manufacturability education, the use of design-thinking (or human-centered design) and team-based design projects are ubiquitous. Students are typically taken on ajourney to better appreciate synthesis of the “big picture” while learning to consider an open-ended manufacturability problem from various perspectives and discovering the value inempathy and co-creation.

A progressive dinneris a meal in which participants travel to different locations for each course, thereby interactingwith many more people in an intimate setting than they otherwise could in a traditional diningscenario.

Theauthors encourage incorporating a new field like that of energy harvesting into the classroom andlab. The collaborative sharing of information for educational purposes is mutually beneficial toall parties. An organized introduction to a new field can be very beneficial in the learningprocess and lead to more contribution to the field and satisfaction by the participants.
