Moving from Plug-and-Chug to Intuition in Manufacturing Courses—Live Workshop
Your students solve every equation perfectly but can't explain why a part can't be manufactured. Sound familiar? How can we help them truly understand processes, not just calculate them?
In this interactive session, we'll cover:
• The biggest misconceptions in manufacturing education and how to fix them
• Proven techniques for connecting Groover's equations to physical processes
• Group work strategies that prevent copying while building intuition
• How the "5% grade rule" dramatically improves conceptual understanding
Examples are from the zyBooks version of Groover's Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing, though strategies apply to any textbook.
Bring your challenges. Leave with solutions.
Panelists:
• Ryan Barlow, PhD, Senior Content Developer for zyBooks, mechanical engineer who studied the Groover text as a student and now creates learning materials that reveal internal process mechanisms.
• Greg Mason, PhD, Content Developer for zyBooks, former manufacturing processes instructor at Seattle University.
• Adrian Rodriguez, PhD, Senior Engineering Content Developer for zyBooks and Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at UT Austin. Co-author of peer-reviewed ASEE research on zyBooks' engineering education effectiveness.
• Linda Ratts, Moderator, Executive Editor, Wiley
