Manufacturing Engineering Processes Knowledge Area has developed an innovative teaching experience in order to give, only in one session, a complete view of a basic subject, Manufacturing Engineering. This experience has been developed on the basis of making a cube constructed in card by groups of students. Starting from this, the different steps of a manufacturing process have been identified, as well as the necessity of establishing a quality control for any of them. Moreover, the different material processing technology types have been distinguished, the concept of process performance has been introduced and the different possibilities for sequential and/or parallel processing have been analyzed. On the basis of this, the students have built the topics program of the subject, justifying its competences distribution. In the same way, the students have defined the related basic concepts. At the end of the course, a questionnaire containing the basic cognitive concepts was answered by them, 100% successfully.
