业界一直认为，缺乏制造工艺经验是新工程毕业生的关键能力差距之一。本文讨论了一门以实验为基础的课程，为学生提供实际的动手制造经验。本课程采用基于团队的项目，帮助学生获得选定制造工艺的实践经验。这些项目从可以在一台机器（如车床或铣床）上制造的简单部件开始，然后发展到制造和组装一个功能齐全的机构。这种方法向学生介绍了将一个重要的程序集放在一起所涉及的问题。包括焦点小组、调查和实际观察在内的多种评估工具被用于评估所使用方法的有效性。结果表明，这确实是解决行业问题的有效途径。
Industry has consistently identified lack of experience in manufacturing processes as one of the key competency gaps among new engineering graduates. This paper discusses a laboratory-based course that provides realistic hands-on manufacturing experiences to students. The course uses team-based projects that help students gain hands-on experience with selected manufacturing processes. The projects start with simple components that can be made on a single machine such as a lathe or a mill, and progress to the manufacture and assembly of a fully functional mechanism. This approach introduces students to the issues involved in putting together a non-trivial assembly. Multiple evaluation tools including focus groups, surveys, and actual observations, were used to assess the effectiveness of the approach used. The results indicate that this is indeed an effective way of addressing industry concerns.
