Improving A Manufacturing Class By Adding An Experimental Session

The author of this paper has been teaching a graduate-level manufacturing class: MMAE 546 Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. The author has made an effort to improve the class by adding an experimental session to this previously lecture-only class, and this effort will be presented in this paper. The effect of the experimental session on the students’ learning quality improvement and study interest stimulation will be discussed. Students’ comments and feedback are also provided.
