In this paper, we present the plan and implementation of a guided projectthat integrates the learning and application of the Taguchi Method into a hands-on productdesign and test optimization experience. Made popular by Japanese manufacturers, the Taguchimethod has since received widespread acceptance as the de facto standard technique to optimizethe process and quality of engineering in major industries such as automotive and aerospace.With the task of design and construction of a catapult as the context of activities, the projectserves as an ideal vehicle through which students can learn

The radial and axial variations in temperature can both beused to determine the Nusselt number relating convective and conductive forms of heat transfer.As uniform heat flux (UHF) and uniform wall temperature (UWT) are commonly cited boundaryconditions for Nu which can be developed without the need for experiments, these values will beconfirmed first.

This paper presents a roundup of relevant basic conceptsand the rudiments for effective learning of the virtual work method and aims to demystify theperception of this method as a magic black box. In a nutshell, there are three major steps for ap-plying the virtual work method and a guiding strategy in choosing the virtual displacement fordetermining the specified unknown. The proposed steps and strategy for implementing the vir-tual work method have led to much better understanding and more effective learning for studentsI.

In addition, there are unique outcomesfor the younger students including a higher commitment to their chosen major, and a bettercontext for future classes. For the older students working with the younger students, theoutcomes include review of lower level topics and enhanced supervisory skills.

The CNC Tabletop Lathe revitalized in this work is a 4-axismachine tool, originally equipped with a dedicated controller. It is important to note that some aspects ofthe machine not updated such as some features of the electrical systems and technical specifications arenot covered in this paper. These details may be found in the reference3.

Since the projects are fromindustry and do not cover all unit operations, the students do not learn the entire simulator butlearn what they need to know for their particular project. They learn to use the simulator more asa tool for developing and analyzing process models, rather than for designing purposes.However, some projects do involve design or redesign of equipment and could emphasize moredesign if desired.This paper will discuss how projects are obtained, the types of projects obtained, how the courseis conducted, and some of the key items students learn.
