V. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Since ME407 will be a multi section course taught by I
group of lab instructors. Various instructors teaching the
course will be trained in the semester preceding the
offering of the course. The actual implementation of this
proposed course framework was done in a subsequent
semester and the lab experience of implementation will be
presented in a future paper.
VI. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Authors of this paper thankfully acknowledge the support
of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
(KFUPM) to provide excellent lab facilities in form of
ME workshop and Rapid Prototyping Lab. of ME
Department, as well as needed materials and human
resources to develop the lab course (ME407) described in
the paper.
