Design and Manufacturing Laboratory

这门新课程结合了学生们以前的概念， 课程工作，并向他们介绍了广泛的现代 先进材料的设计和测试技术。 基本的工程概念紧随其后， 解决工程问题。 一系列的实验室课程 每个人都有一个任务， 样品的逆向工程、评估和改进， 制造机械产品。设计和制造 将其视为并行任务而不是连续任务。过程 还通过提高互动水平来增强学习 在不同的层面上。课程的安排方式 强调讨论和口试而不是讲课。 教师大部分时间都在与 一小部分学生，而不是整个班级。的 学生必须在课堂上互相交流， 组织和准备实验报告。不像更 传统的课程，评分将不会严格根据 知识水平。 学生对材料的兴趣将是 刺激，因为拟议的实验室会议都有一个 序列和一个统一的背景下， 体验连续性。这门课将给学生们 接受更现代和先进的机械测试 技术，工程材料和方法， 设计/制造互动比他们目前收到的。

This new course combines concepts from the students' prior course work and introduces them to a broad range of modern design and testing techniques for advanced materials. Fundamental engineering concepts are followed immediately with engineering problem-solving. A series of lab sessions have been formulated, each involving a task directed toward the reverse-engineering, evaluation, and improvement of a sample, manufactured mechanical product. Design and manufacture is approached as parallel rather than sequential tasks. The course also enhances learning by increasing the level of interaction on various levels. The course is arranged in a way which emphasizes discussion and oral examination rather than lecture. The instructor spends most of his/her time interacting with small groups of students rather than the entire class. The students are required to interact amongst each other in the organization and preparation of the lab reports. Unlike more traditional courses, grading will not be based strictly upon knowledge level. Student interest in the material will be stimulated because the proposed lab sessions have both a sequence and a unifying context which give the learning experience continuity. The course will give the students exposure to more modern and advanced mechanical testing techniques, engineering materials, and approaches to the design/manufacturing interaction than they currently receive.
