Major multiple choice question exams can be conducted bythe computer using additional software such as Blackboard/Vista. Longer essay and calculationexams can be also handled electronically using the tablet PC.Limitations and key issues of using the teaching methodThere are several limitations to implementing the discussed interactive teaching method,including: • providing tablet PCs to each student, or a specially equipped computer laboratory; • limiting the class size to below 25 students; • generating student interest in, and willingness to use, the new software is difficult; • spending more time on lecture preparation than using

A CDIO-based Social Manufacturing Laboratory(CDIO-SML) that integrates 3D printing techniques for additive manufacturing ande-commerce for marketing has been developed and described in this paper. The lab consistsof five platforms for 1) teaching integration, 2) requirement acquisition, 3) interactive designand innovation, 4) manufacturing and production processes, 5) cyberspace-based marketingand operations.

This new approach will increase student enthusiasm and provide closer alignment of classroom topics with today’s standard industry practice. This paper will deal with a unique application of the research/teaching method used at the undergraduate level, using a hands-on laboratory approach in conjunction with classroom lecture. The approach can be tailored to all levels from introductory freshman to senior-level classes. An open-ended project is utilized, requiring a creative approach for its solution.
