Revised Methodology For Teaching Manufacturing & Technology The revised curriculum is based on developing direct ties to theory and usingpractice-based design as a methodology for moving students toward an understandingof manufacturing technology. In addition, students solve a series of small designproblems activities to build skills that they will need later in the course. This is all donein the context of team-based activities. the class is divided into small teams of two orthree students that undertake these projects and activities together for the entire semester.The team works together to analyze, solve, and write-up all the reports required tocomplete the project activities. this requires oral team reports for about half
