Apart from just the economic growth of the city the number of engineeringcolleges has increased exponentially in Bangalore University (BU) and VisvesvarayaTechnological University (VTU). There are over 144 engineering colleges with over 7500students primarily focused on engineering education (VTU, 2010).

severalweeks of machine shop/laboratory immersion and hands on technical instruction. Inprevious years basic tolerance theory has been taught in the CAD part of the class and asmall percentage of this theory was then realized in machining exercises later in thecourse. The result has been somewhat “hit and miss” in the educational goal of passingon an appreciation of tolerances let alone an enthusiasm for including them in subsequentwork. The new methodology described in this paper links tolerances with some veryspecific machining exercises that were then undertaken within the same academic week.The functionality of parts produced was directly related to successful adherence todrawing tolerances much more clearly than any class paper exercise.

For generations, studentshave attended Wentworth with the intention of working in design and construction professions. All students have 2separate cooperative education semesters (CO-OP) as part of their experiential learning experience. During theseCO-OPs, civil engineering technology students are exposed to current engineering projects and, often, the latest designand construction means and methods utilized by some of the leading architectural, engineering and construction firms

IntroductionThe ability to use computers at the lectern, enabled by relatively cheap projection equipment, hastremendous potential for computer-aided teaching. This is not a reference to being able topresent PowerPoint slides, using computers in essentially the same way we once used overheadprojectors to show transparencies. Rather, we now have the ability to create accuratemathematical plots on-the-fly, and dynamically manipulate graphical content to emphasizepoints of

Utilizing thisidea as a lab experiment lets the students get a hands-on perspective of the process rather thanjust applying the idea on the blackboard or on paper.

element in the process. These visions of the future may becomereality, but superior results will not result if the design team is not well trained or experienced inthe process. In the hands of the poorly trained or inexperienced, the computer and data basesforeseen in the technical literature will produce poor designs as quickly as good ones.Senior, well-respected members of my professional community, naval architecture, are worriedabout education and training (3,4).

These are valuable components of a Mechanical Engineering education; they offer the opportunity to apply analytic techniques to open-ended problems, and introduce the students to concepts of design optimization. However, they are often limited to parametric design problems; they involve only dimensional synthesis, and provide
