Abstract Design and manufacturing courses are integral parts of Industrial Engineering curriculum at Mercer School of Engineering. In this paper, an overview of the design and manufacturing curriculum starting from freshman design through senior design, and introduction to manufacturing processes through automation and systems integration are presented and discussed. The manufacturing laboratory facilities, and design/automation hardware and software available are effectively used to teach Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), CAD/CAM integration, dimensioning and tolerancing, measurement and inspection, and reverse engineering concepts with appropriate hands-on experiences. A sample laboratory experiment in robotics, an example of measurements using coordinate measuring machine, and a typical senior design project are presented and discussed
