Curriculum Reform in Manufacturing Education at the University of Calgary

摘要

In this paper, we describe the impact of a campus-wide curriculum redesign initiative at the University of Calgary on our recently developed undergraduate program in manufacturing engineering. This program had its beginnings in the 1980s and was fully established in 1995. We describe the curriculum, which has a foundation in general manufacturing fundamentals and satisfies the academic requirements for registration as professional engineers in Canada. We then focus on the analysis of the existing curriculum, and based on this analysis, offer our plan for future curriculum reform.
