Abstract
Practice Course for Advance Manufacturing Technology developed engineering students’ skills and knowledge on new technical areas and non-technical areas such as teamwork, communication and lifelong learning. This paper describes three projects where students practiced lifelong learning skills including locating, seeking and understanding new information with self-directed and team-based cooperative learning approaches. Self-directed learning activities also make students have an intrinsic belief that one is responsible for one’s own learning.
