CAD/CAM and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools play importantroles in modern manufacturing engineering.Indoctrinating students in the modern production process is crucial. ME 435, the IntermediateManufacturing course offered by the mechanical engineering department at Christian BrothersUniversity (CBU), addresses this need. First offered in the fall of 1996, the class revolves aroundthe use of computers to integrate the design, analysis, and manufacturing phases of production.Students in ME 435 use the facilities of the Integrated Laboratory for Manufacturing Education(ILME) developed at CBU under a National Science Foundation grant.Students are first introduced to parametric design methodology, including part and

educational goal may be achieved by using different methodsand means.The teachers of engineering graphics today tend to use, if not overuse, CAD/CAM software inthe educational process. Sometimes it is assumed that computer graphics software is the primarymeans that will enhance a student’s spatial visualization ability. On the contrary, recent research[8] provides data to prove that the influence of computer graphics on the enhancement of spatialability is not so direct and straightforward. Electronically created tutorials on web pages,instructional movies and CD interactive media are nowadays produced to the advantage ofengineering graphics students. We should probably ask ourselves if the amount of time it takes toproduce these materials is

Inthis regard, ELT aligns with other active learning and constructivist approaches which assert thatengagement and reflection lead to better understanding. In STEM fields like engineering and physics, hands-on learning has long been recognizedas essential for developing practical skills and deepening conceptual understanding. Laboratoryeducation is especially a domain where ELT is applied by allowing students to directly interactwith materials, instruments, and phenomena [16-18].
