A hands-on approach to teaching manufacturing processes

Contribution of Teaching Factory Learning Strategy Implementation, Mastery of Basic Knowledge, and Self Efficacy to the Vocational Competence and Its Impact to Student Work Readiness in Malang Vocational Education of Motorcycle Engineering

“…The implementation of teaching factory is the interface of vocational education to the industrial world, resulting in checks and balances on th e process of education in vocational education to maintain and maintain harmony (link and match) with the needs of the labor market [10]. In the teaching industry program students are given more opportunities to perform work like a worker so there is a skill improvement ( [11]; [12]; [13]; [14] [15]). Teaching industry or teaching industry not only provides benefits to students, but also provides benefits for educators ( [16]; [17]).…”

“…Teaching factory can improve students' ability [12]. Teaching factory of vocational education in Surakarta in terms of learning activities stated very good [23].…”

Assessing the Learning Gains of Manufacturing Students in an Integrated Hands-on Curriculum

“…Current ABET criteria show a major shift away from reporting on process "inputs" (e.g., number of credit hours, volumes in the library). The focus has instead turned to institutions demonstrating through assessment and evaluation that they are reaching their desired outcomes 10 . This need to document program level outcomes implies that curricular innovations like the MILL Model also need to demonstrate their effectiveness in meeting the stated outcomes.…”

“…The modified approach entails projects coordinated across multiple courses to give students targeted hands-on competencies [6][7][8] . Project activities culminate in the fabrication of a functional product in a Manufacturing Processes course.…”

Assessing Learning Gains Attributable to Curricular Innovations

“…The MILL concept is predicated on the use of integrated projects spanning multiple courses to give students relevant and realistic hands-on experiences. It entails coordination of the hands-on activities in the multiple targeted courses around the unifying theme of designing and making a functional product 2,3 . This was collaborative work between four institutions namely: Wayne State University, Prairie View A&M University, New Mexico State University, and Macomb College.…”
