Yet engineering technology istraditionally a very hands-on program, especially in manufacturing. Two courses were selectedto explore creating labs that could be completed at home with inexpensive, readily availablematerials. How does one teach automatic assembly using nuts, bolts, paper clips, and butterdishes? It can be done! But to do so required serious thought about the concepts being exploredin each lab. See Figure 1 for one example. The big ideas had to be communicated clearly withoutthe use of the typical lab equipment.Figure 1. Example of Automatic

However, most of the students’ time and effort is spentoutside of class, applying this information as they develop the prototype in the engineeringlaboratory. An industrial setting is simulated by breaking the students into subsystemdevelopment teams that must work together to not only successfully develop their ownsubsystems, but ultimately integrate these subsystems into the final complex system that meetsall the requirements.
