Abstract: Multimedia tutors have been developed for a number of different areas in manufacturing--including forging, die casting, and injection molding. Typically, students using these tutors perform better than students receiving traditional classroom instruction. However, the strengths and weaknesses of the tutors have not been isolated in any of the reports to date. This paper presents the results of experiments designed to isolate the most effective components used to teach design for stamping. The experiments compared classroom instruction with software tutorials. The results of these experiments indicate that the use of software tutorials when combined with feedback on graded homework assignments is as effective as traditional lectures that also make use of graded homework assignments [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
