This results in a hands-on, active learningexperience that will impact all students in the class. In addition to learning research methods byparticipation, this approach incorporates additional topics and broader contemporary topics.2. PurposeThe traditional ergonomics syllabus has focused on the physical requirements of manual laborworkers. While manufacturing and other jobs requiring physical labor remain vital componentsin the workforce, many developed countries have transitioned to a knowledge economy. By2003, more than half of all workers in the United States used a computer1 and the number

Next, a good portion of thispaper is devoted to one specific use of technology which is in laboratory-like exercises. Theseexercises were developed to teach more difficult concepts such as Central Limit Theorem andshow how it applies to project evaluation and review technique (PERT). As a result, not only didthe student understanding of complex material improve, but also the material was covered in amuch shorter time.

Therefore, anydecision to adopt bench-top lathes will need to be carefully weighed against the additionalmaintenance that might be required when using these lathes.Modifications to the CurriculumIndustry and faculty were asked whether they would be open to changing the curriculum taughtin traditional programs to accommodate the smaller sizes of bench-top metal lathes. The majorityof individuals surveyed (90.6% of those from industry and 73% of faculty) believe coursecontent can be adjusted to accommodate the smaller material sizes that are necessary when usingbench-top lathes without presenting adversely affecting
