A new course titled “Manufacturing Process Planning” has been offered twice – in the Fall semesters of1994 and 1995.

The scientificlearning cycle consists of three phases: exploration, term introduction, and concept application4.Considerable evidence is present stating that this scientific learning cycle is more effective inteaching science than other traditional methods. This same learning cycle is applied inengineering curriculum as well. In the third phase, concept application, students applyknowledge across a variety of problems and disciplines.
