AB  - While working as a mechanical engineer does not necessary require that a person have machining experience, this paper provides evidence as to how beneficial it can be.  It will make the argument that a good mechanical design engineer needs to have understanding and experience that can best be obtained from completing projects in a machine shop.  More specifically, the paper discusses the value of having a machining class early in the mechanical engineering curriculum, and provides one method for how it can be provided.   Examples of sample student projects and general course format are included.  Assessment of the importance of including machining skills in the curriculum and the projects themselves is performed with data from local industries, student and alumni feedback, and by officials from professional organizations.  Specific examples of student outcomes will be given in the form of student project work, instructor observations, and industry and student feedback.
