The most effective method in design and manufacturing education is to experience the series of processes, which are to be given a design subject, the design of the machine to qualify the specification, to manufacture or buy necessary parts, the assembly and the evaluation of performance, by oneself or few people. Firstly, the items to learn and improve in the course for the attending student were listed up and examined. These become the evaluation items of the program by the attending student. The program called ‘Clock Project’ was developed. The subject is to design the clock that displays ‘hour’ and ‘minute’. Various restrictions are installed in the size of machine, the parts can be used and etc. The evaluation function to decide the excellent/poor design is the number of parts. The design with small number of parts becomes an excellent one. A couple of students struggle with the program with collaboration. 3-D CAD is used to design and the efficiency is improved comparing with ordinary hand drafting. Moreover, the digital engineering such as a RP (Rapid Prototype) equipment and EC (Electric Commerce) service for the order of parts are utilized fully. As the result, the management cost was reduced drastically. The participated team designed unique clocks. There was no same clock though many types clock were designed in the class. The creativity is inspired through this program. In the paper, the progressed points are explained comparing with the ordinary educational program. And it is examined that whether the expected effect is obtained or not based on the result of evaluation by the students.

Abstractthe paper continues the research started in the paper “Conception and fabrication using knowledge management principles”. The theoretical guidelines found in the mentioned paper crystallises at a practical level in an original product – a software solution. The proposed solution has as a central element notion concerning the design and manufacturing of straight axes in the automotive industry. The application field for the proposed example regards the educational area; the software guides the user by theoretical concepts, examples, problems through practical aspects concerning the design and manufacturing of a part belonging to the axes family specific to the automotive industry. The software was developed using the Access work environment.
