Abstract

Design and manufacturing are the two most important functions of engineering, and a design is good only to the extent that it can be produced by existing manufacturing techniques. So, it is important for aerospace engineering students to be exposed to manufacturing methods. This paper describes the teaching of manufacturing principles through innovative experiments in an aerospace structures laboratory. Also, a shape memory alloy experiment has been developed as an introduction to smart materials. The hands-on experience in the laboratory education is a viable approach in teaching the application of manufacturing methods and smart materials.
