Project Summary

This project aims to elevate practical learning in traditional undergraduate curricula of Materials and Manufacturing Engineering programs, by incorporating teaching modules on industry-standard simulation tools like Moldflow and Altair into existing courses. Through immersive hands-on modules, real-world simulations, and industry-relevant assignments, the project enhances students' practical understanding of engineering concepts. This approach sharpens their problem-solving skills, fosters critical thinking, and builds proficiency in cutting-edge software, directly aligning with the demands of contemporary engineering careers. Students will gain a deeper understanding of materials and manufacturing processes, preparing them for the challenges of the industry. This project not only enriches their academic experience but also equips them with tangible skills crucial for success in future careers, where practical, hands-on knowledge is a key differentiator.
