Thepedagogical approach incorporates web-based teaching strategies including Just-in-TimeTeaching (JiTT), developed by physics instructors and used by many different disciplines. Aftercompleting assigned readings, the students take online quizzes that summarize these readings.The lecture period is used to clarify misconceptions that were discovered in the students’responses to the online quizzes as well as present new material

In this regard their lab seems to be directed largely toward preparing students for graduate-level structural research work.

This study “was a statistically valid and groundbreaking view of mechanical engineeringeducation” and data from the study strongly supports the conclusion that changes in the mechanicalengineering curricula to teach practical knowledge of manufacturing processes are needed to meetthe expectations of the industry [4]. This discrepancy between education and the expectations ofemployers has been exasperated by the recent trend of over-relying on additive manufacturing asa means for students to produce the projects they design in school.
