IntroductionThere has been a growing drive to incorporate more manufacturing into the engineeringcurriculums across the United States. With this drive there has been a need for developing betterteaching tools to aid in teaching the vast spectrum of manufacturing processes in as efficient amanner as possible. Due to the fact that many engineering concepts are difficult to understand,tools that go beyond simple classroom lecture and textbook work are starting to be developed.Incorporating design

It required the coordination and timing of the presentationof fundamental technical material with engineering process material. Based on hearing theremarks of the students and from seeing their capstone projects, these students were betterprepared, in both technical knowledge and professional arts, for their future careers.References1 Manufacturing Education Plan: Phase I Report in Manufacturing for the 21st Century, Volume IV (1997), Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Dearborn, MI, USA.2 Sule, D.R.

Education, 2019 Aggregating Industrial Engineering Concepts Through Cookie ManufacturingWhy: backgroundThe 2018 revision to the ABET EAC student outcomes 1-7 [1], insight from TUEE [2], and eventhe moniker of the author’s department, integrated systems engineering, requires engineeringeducators to create student experiences with a more integrated approach to problem solving.However, creating open-ended problems is much more difficult than using textbook problemswith one correct answer. These problems are challenging to develop and assess when trying tocover a broad swath of the curriculum, so the author considered it valuable to share theexperience and feedback from the process of creating and

these shortcomings in our curriculum, we created a “design sequence”. In makingthese changes, we had several objectives: ≠ To emphasize both design and manufacturing before the senior year ≠ To provide students with more hands-on experiencesTo meet these goals, we developed two new courses: BME Design and Manufacturing I and II.These courses are typically taken in the sophomore and junior years. They provide an excellentbackground for the students to be well prepared for senior design. We also enhanced the seniordesign program. Further details on all of these courses are below.MethodsFacilitiesWe currently have a dedicated undergraduate design lab with approximately 935 square feet ofworkspace (figure 1).

rooted in the history ofengineering education itself. Engineering education used to keep a dynamic balance swingingbetween technologies and sciences in the past ~180 years from the first day, when the first“engineering education” or “education for engineers” was initiated in 1747 as the Ecole Nationaledes Ponts et Chaussées (School of Civil Engineering) established in Paris, France (Dooge, 2006).At that time, most of the students were state employees with experiences and their curriculum wasauthentic projects from real engineering contexts (Coyle, 2009). Several decades later, more andmore technical universities in Europe have become reluctant to issue doctoral degrees to studentswith less scientific knowledge. From then on, scientific courses
