Two such exercises in the area ofmanufacturing education are the gearbox produced at Lafayette College [2], and another Stirling EngineProject at MIT [5]. Although similar to our own project, these institutions present manufacturingprocesses in slightly different ways. The most notable differences occur due to quarter vs. semestersystems. This paper details our experiences at the University of Washington by first discussing thecourse goals and expected outcomes, and then describing some issues regarding institutionalization ofthis laboratory project
