Each of thesecorresponded to a system or system type that was studied during the course through literatureand field trips.

It canprovide experiential learning for the students in areas in which they might not have anyexperience. It can provide a common base of experience to all the students in a class, even if theyhad not prior exposure to an area such as manufacturing. This helps the students understand howquality engineering tools can be introduced into the manufacturing process.
