AB  -         Theme-based Teaching /Learning: A New Approach in Teaching                         Manufacturing ProcessesOne of the most challenging aspects of teaching manufacturing processes is the lack oflaboratory equipment for the vast variety of the processes and techniques involved. In fact,economically it is almost impossible to have the vast range of facilities for presenting even asmall portion of the wide spectrum of those techniques. Additionally, new and improvedprocesses with the focus on nanotechnology, green technology, and sustainable manufacturingrequire a whole new set of facilities and approaches. To rectify the situation, a theme-basedapproach has been introduced into an undergraduate manufacturing processes class with threemain goals:   1. To get students involved in literature research around one major theme related to      manufacturing;   2. To investigate, in some depth, the pros and cons of different approaches of the theme      topic to the process under discussion;   3. Apply the knowledge gained to improve understanding of the complexity of the issues      involved in manufacturing systems.We have selected the theme of “Energy used in manufacturing processes”. Students are requiredto investigate, write reports, produce presentations (both PowerPoint and poster) and discuss therole of energy in manufacturing. This includes the cost of production, its environmental impact,and where savings can be garnered through efficiency related to energy use. This themeembraces the idea of training ‘energy engineers’ who are skilled in assessing energy efficienciesand sustainability related to manufacturing. Laboratory experiments have also been developedusing a multi-disciplinary approach to give students hands-on experience in energymeasurements and economic calculations related to the cost of energy given various processes. We are collecting data from an engineering education standpoint and assessing student learningin the class as well as the laboratory environment with a goal of developing the group of skilledstudents that might be the nuclei of a new ‘Energy Engineering and Management Concentration’.
