Journal of engineering education transformationsSummary: Academic institutions worldwide focused on providing a platform for students' integrated learning experience to enhance their skills and increase employability. School of Mechanical Engineering is making continuous efforts to provide integrated learning experiences for UG program students by designing Integrated Learning experience by activity based learning approach. This work aims to provide integrated knowledge of courses such a s manufacturing Technology and Metrology, which are part of the curriculum. The course Manufacturing Technology and Metrology and Quality engineering are considered for this work. These courses' knowledge plays a vital role in students' professional lives when employed in manufacturing industries. This initiative's main objectives are to provide an integrated learning experience, i.e., integration of manufacturing and measurement process, which are essential stages of product development. An Activity is given to the students to compare and analyze the process capabilities of traditional and advanced machine tools such as conventional Lathe and Computer Numerical Control (CNC). One batch of students used a conventional lathe machine, and the other batch used the CNC lathe machine. The students manufactured the part and collected the data (dimensions) about the part, analyzed the data through MINI-TAB software, and finally concluded about traditional and advanced machines' capabilities to manufacture parts according to specification. Through this, the students can establish integrated knowledge between the Manufacturing Technology and Metrology and Quality Engineering courses they have learned in isolation. These courses spread across different semesters. The performance indicators (PIs) of the graduate attribute (GA) of ABET program outcome '4' were underlying the motivators while designing the activity.
