Collaborative manufacturing systems:Active learning from its name

Abstract

© 2020 University of Minho. All rights reserved. Collaboration among partners to form a value network has become necessary as sharing of information at all levels from among physical units on the shop floor to connect with external business processes is so critical for being competitive in a market. Therefore, a course on Collaborative Manufacturing Systems has been recently developed to build students' competence in this aspect. Presented in this paper is how this course has been developed according to the learning experience-focused course design and development process (LEF-CDD). Bloom's Taxonomy, Kolb's experiential learning cycle, and the LOVE learning experience have been utilized for identifying learning outcomes, for planning learning activities for ease of learning, and for the selection of teaching and learning methods for offering a diversified learning experience along their learning journey respectively. Based on the design, the students will actively learn from class discussion, laboratory works, and a term project.
