discuss the various decisions associatedwith the design and construction of appropriate learning environments based on their experiencewith a broad range of courses and simulation tools in Engineering Management. The efficacy ofthese various approaches is assessed by student surveys and instructor observations with respectto student learning styles and classroom protocols.IntroductionThere is a growing need to enhance student learning effectiveness and efficiency in engineeringeducation. Even though technological knowledge has been rapidly increasing, competition forstudents among universities has not allowed for expansion of the curricula. In fact, in manyuniversities, the required load for graduation has been decreasing. One way to handle
enrollment of 24 undergraduate engineering students.Given the need to provide students with hands-on experiences on medical device applications, anew laboratory has been established at USF named Virtual Manufacturing and DesignLaboratory for Medical Devices (VirtualMD Lab). The laboratory is an interdisciplinary facilitywith technologies in the areas of product design and manufacturing with emphasis on medicaldevices. Its main goal is to provide students with hands-on experiences on equipment andsoftware related to product design and manufacturing for the realization of medical deviceprojects. The VirtualMD Lab is a collaborative effort of experienced faculty from thedepartments of Industrial & Management Systems Engineering and Mechanical
