. Page 26.1267.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Project based learning in Manufacturing Processes CourseAbstractIntegration of design and manufacturing is critical in producing successful products and systems.However, there are barriers between design and manufacturing related courses in engineeringeducation. Manufacturing courses provide students with vast amount of technical information.They can only convert this information to knowledge if they use it in real life problems orprojects. Most of the manufacturing courses cannot include such experience into theircurriculum. An attempt to integrate design projects into a Manufacturing Processes course hasbeen studied in this paper.
