DFA (Design for assembly) is an important part of the contents included in some of
the manufacturing courses taught at Jaume I University. DFA is a tool to analyse and improve
product design from an assembly point of view. Although DFA contents had been covered using
different teaching activities (theoretical, problem and laboratory sessions), the results in
students’ assessment revealed that the expected learning outcomes were not being achieved. In
particular, results were especially unsatisfactory in the practical application of DFA. Students
misunderstood concepts such as “handling” and “insertion” operations, and failed at identifying
assembly problems related to thickness or alignment among others. A learning by doing
approach has been proved to improve students’ learning and engagement, as they take an active
role and have the opportunity of doing things themselves. In a previous work, a specific modular
and reconfigurable kit to improve DFA learning by experimentation was designed. Based on this
work, this paper presents the analysis of the results obtained in two different courses where the
modular kit has been used by students in a new seminar session. [-]
