Abstract | Teaching manufacturing engineering represents a challenge in that many important classical and theoretical topics such as metal cutting must be augmented using practical and applied approaches. A tactile appreciation of theory serves both to reinforce the whole curricula and to encourage students to engage in their learning. Appropriate syllabus content, stimulating assignment topics, the introduction of cutting tools into the classroom plus designing all encompassing laboratory experiments enables students to ‘cement’ together the ‘building blocks’ of theory. This approach helps students to visualize many of the complex geometrical aspects of cutting tools and better grasp the link between theory and practice. The synergism produced by this tactile teaching also helps reduce (attendance and enrollment) attrition rates by anchoring students in a tangible engineering world. |
