Recently several four-year engineeringprograms have initiated freshmen curricula (4,5,6) that integrate multiple disciplinarycontent at the entry level. At the associate degree level, two development efforts areunderway. (7,8) These initiatives provide guidelines for the development of the newcurriculum.Educational research also provides additional guidelines for a curriculum change.Gardner (9), in his concepts of multiple intelligence and Felder (10), in comments onstudents’ learning styles, show that students require instructional strategies that differfrom the traditional lecture format.

Can a student become a good mechanical engineer without ever walking into a machineshop? The answer to this question may be that it is possible. However, this paper makes theargument that a good design engineer needs to have understanding and experience that can bestbe obtained in a machine shop. Better mechanical designs will be created by a designer with thecomplete understanding of how machine components are communicated through mechanicaldrawings, dimensioned and toleranced, and finally created in a machine shop. Furthermore, thispaper explores how project builds should be included throughout the curriculum so that everystudent gets the appropriate exposure to the proper machining experiences to hone theirmechanical design skills

What was the instructor’s general philosophy and approach to includingindustry-based learning in the course? What did that integration look like within the context ofthe class being taught?

Forthe cases where no significant improvement was found, observations suggest that in order for theprofessional development intervention to be effective, the course format must be sufficient toadequately develop the instructional intervention strategies. Thus, to aid in this issue, “Mini”modules were developed to provide an additional means of integrating professional developmentissues into the curriculum.
