Abstract

In the rapidly evolving field of precision manufacturing, it is crucial to equip postgraduate students with practical, hands-on experience alongside theoretical knowledge. As the advanced manufacturing industries increasingly demand precision and efficiency, this study presents a novel pedagogical approach integrating Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Group-Based Learning to teach precision manufacturing skills effectively. The strategy focuses on applying Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technologies, advanced manufacturing techniques, and metrology in real-world contexts. Students work on projects in a state-of-the-art facility, utilising a high-precision 5-axis CNC machine, 3D printers, and advanced characterisation techniques, closely mirroring industry conditions. Through collaboration in small groups, students share diverse perspectives and allocate tasks based on individual strengths. This framework prepares them to understand precision manufacturing principles and apply them in practical situations, ensuring they are well-equipped for successful careers in the industry.
