developing a broader skill-set that includes design, innovation,and creativity. The need to understand the physical properties of materials, the ability toselect and execute appropriate processes, and implement effective manufacturing systemsstill forms the core of engineering education. The nature and purpose of engineeringeducation demands that students acquire specific technical content knowledge and developpractical skills in the context of a collaborative student centred environment applyingknowledge and skills in an innovative and creative way.This study attempted to elicit the critical variables that scaffold design and creativity by usingthe divergent nature of decorative metal craft to explore the relationship between the‘transfer’ of newly

First and foremost, oneneeds to identify the relative criteria for each assignment in the senior design curriculum; this isbest done by consulting one’s program outcomes and identifying those aspects of eachassignment that can be used as evidence to support said outcomes. For scoring the indicators, theadaptation of a 4-point scale has been found useful,7 as it avoids the neutral response typicallyfound in a 5-point

: Manufacturing System Design (3)The culmination of the curriculum is the senior design experience of Capstone I and II.Capstone at UW-StoutThe faculty at UW-Stout defines manufacturing engineering as the design of processes andsystems used to produce products. So naturally, the capstone experience is focused more heavilyupon the manufacturing processes and systems used to produce a product rather than upon theproduct itself. This focal point of manufacturing allows the capstone experience to extendbeyond the design of components into the design of special machines for the production of items.These “flexible” automated systems are designed by the students to produce items as varied asdominoes, pancakes, welded parts and dental floss.The capstone
professionalenvironment. A proper knowledge transfer is an important precondition for engineers to actcompetently and to solve different kinds of problems. However, due to the increasing numberof study paths as well as the specialization of particularly technical oriented classes, there is aneed for the integration of new media into the curriculum of most students [1]. Thus, thevisualization of educational content in order to explain theory more concrete and tangible hasgained importance. To prepare students adequately for new situations in their work life,virtual reality (VR) can be an effective instrument for learning and teaching processes. Byimitating real-world processes, professional skills can be developed, increased or maintained.Especially if the

The importance of Design based TechnologyEducation lies in its educational goals4. These goals are designed to equip students with a setof transferable skills, which will enable them to adapt to the technological and societal needsof the future. The goals of technology education must however look past the need to preparestudents for a particular profession, and look to develop students who are technologicallyliterate1.
