The importance of this approach and the pros and cons of the Page 2.251.1approach will be discussed.II. The current problem and research objectives Common complaints from the employers in manufacturing industry are the college graduates'deficiency in people skills, their needs in step by step instructions, their inability in problemsolving, and their inexperience in information gathering. In general, companies need engineerswho can work in a team, can be a self-starter, can adapt to company culture quickly, can

Process EducationTM incorporatescooperative learning, guided discovery activities, journal writing, and various assessment tools.Unlike a lecture based approach, a Process EducationTM class requires more active participationof both mentor and team members. Team members actively work through in-class tasks, whichinclude critical thinking, assessment, deadlines, and journal entries. With this approach theinstructor take on the nontraditional role of facilitator. This approach has shown significantimprovement in both student motivation and their retention of knowledge.IntroductionThe education of engineers has been a topic of concern and discussion for many years and willbe so into the foreseeable

Engineering and Arts majors. It sheds the light on how engineering students can beprepared to become ‘outside the box thinkers’ by interacting and working on commonprojects with students from the arts and design majors. The collaborative effortsrevolved around the aspects of “design thinking”, an innovative and broad project basededucational model that uses a systematic approach towards problem solving. Withtraditional engineering education, students are accustomed to breaking down theoreticalproblems and solving them using standard procedures. Although such a way of teachinginstils analytical and methodological thinking, but it is not enough to prepare studentsto be creative in solving future problems. Research shows that engineers who practiceone

objectives of engineering education. While readily adaptable to various engineeringcourses, tailoring the framework to the specific context and student needs is key to maximizing itseffectiveness. By embracing this dynamic approach, educators can move beyond the limitations oftraditional assessment and foster a genuine learning journey for their students, enabling them toconfidently navigate the complex world of engineering.References[1] R.

It is also about people, how they perform and how they are led. Most research on manufacturing has been conducted on processes, materials and systems. The time has come to devote more attention to people and competitive strategy. With the persistent, chronic public perception of manufacturing as a smoky, dirty, dimly lighted 19th Century factory, we need to highlight and emphasize the positive, societal benefits that
