TEACHING AND LEARNING ASPECTS FOR AN ONLINE GRADUATE COURSE ON DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY
P. B. Ravikumar Professor, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Department University of Wisconsin, Platteville, WI ABSTRACT An online Master of Engineering program is offered at the University of Wisconsin - Platteville. The curriculum consists of core courses, technical emphasis courses, and elective courses. Curriculum improvements are made through revisions to existing courses and the introduction of new courses. A course on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) has been developed by the author and the course went online for the first time in Fall of 2003. Key elements in the development, teaching, and learning aspects of the course are addressed. They include an overview of the Master of Engineering curriculum, background of DFM, the role of DFM in the curriculum, major topics in the course, and strategy for teaching / learning DFM online.
