Laboratories Theme identified twelve different modes ofinstruction for effective use of laboratories in engineering education. These varied useshelp to determine the requirements of laboratory spaces. · Class Lab Mode: occasional use, short duration, storable · Large Systems Mode: year-long project, design intensive, dedicated space, product thrust, close connectivity to outside · Design Product Mode: large-scale project, term length, virtual design, dedicated space, breakout-report spaces · Tinkering Mode: occasional, temporary work space · Experiment Mode: desktop project, one to two terms, student developed · Research Design Support Mode: in and out capacity, temporary team design space, weeks to months in
metaphor by proposing an updatedhuman-centric engineering education model based on modern manufacturing processes todemonstrate that efficiency does not have to be antagonistic to individualization. Several tenetsof manufacturing and production workflows that can be adapted to an educational environmentare identified, such as the Toyota Production System (TPS) workflow. In particular, our examplemodel focuses on the principles of respect for people, continuous improvement, and visualcontrol. Utilizing these principles from modern industry can capture both the humanistic andconsistency components required by engineering education for students to draw importantinsights.Within this updated model, instead of viewing students as products, students are
writing assessments that enhance students’ critical thinking capabilities.
