We will also present anddiscuss the challenges and opportunities learned during the development of the new program.2. Impact and Learning OutcomesEducation and workforce development focusing on industrial robotics and automation willtransform the way that Engineering Technology courses are delivered, maximizing hands-on andexperiential learning and providing students with a high-tech, industry-based skill set [4].

Microsoft PowerPoints was used to present slides; Microsoft OneNote wasused as a whiteboard to solve examples and derive formulas in real-time with a writing tablet'sassistance; MATLAB was used to do simulation and demonstration in class. Other featuresfrom Zoom, such as reactions, whiteboard, chat room, and poll, were used during the class tofacilitate the discussion and communicate with students. Another significant advantage ofZoom is that it has an option to record a meeting on a password-protected cloud environment.This feature is beneficial because students can review these materials any time after the class

. Czekanski et al. studiedthe challenges in engineering education from both educators' and industrials points of view. Theyproposed a vertical and lateral method based on incorporating the strength of existingeducational systems and integrating them with fundamental engineering core courses. From theirstudy, they found that the use of this proposed vertical and lateral learning method can narrowthe gap between academic, industrial, and students' expectations. Their study was based on afour-year curriculum though and it did not zoom on the challenges of the individual courses [16].The question remains how to deliver an educational environment where engineering studentsgraduate with a good comprehension of general engineering design skills, practical

This system can be incorporated into theElectrical Engineering Technology bachelor degree curriculum laboratories at our university.Based on the prevalence of PID control applications in industry, and it being a relativelyadvanced concept in traditional, theory heavy, control system courses, it is important to addressthis topic with a practical system. This has inspired the idea of designing a PID training labcourse

Project Based Learning is an importantconcept related to senior projects, especially in engineering technology programs, it representsactive learning techniques used in courses throughout the curriculum, from freshman years up tosenior design projects, and it is a concept extensively studied in the literature [3, 4]. Otherconcepts related to student projects and ultimately to senior design projects, are Design BasedLearning [5] and Experiential Learning [6]. Yet another concept covered in the literature isService-Learning Projects, which is related to community based projects that are integrated inundergraduate courses as instruments to

Findings from thestudy illustrated how students were able to develop core competencies such as in CAD-CAMwhile characterizing the kinds of mistakes that students make in developing said competencies.We conclude on the illustration of a future iteration of an M3 curriculum, one where thechallenges students typically face in CAD-CAM are purposefully woven into the assignmentsthemselves, serving as a way to provoke awareness and improvement in skill development.Introduction‘Making through Micro-Manufacturing’ (M3 ) [1, 2] provides a model of how to couple theflexibility of ‘Making’ with the concerns of production engineering. Such an approach inproduction emphasizes customizability and personalization in product design. Because of

expand the number of students who can benefit from conducting research as the designprojects are embedded directly into the curriculum and are taken by all students in the program.Undergraduate research has been shown to help students take ownership of their own learningand helps them to see the real-world relevance of research as they learn problem-solving skills[1 – 3]. Inquiry-based projects are beneficial because they require a significant investment ofstudent time and effort over an extended period with frequent constructive feedback from facultyand regular opportunities for reflection [4, 5]. This paper addresses the process of developmentof performance indicators and presents the results of assessment and evaluation of both ETACABET and
