robots (cobots) have been identified as an essential connection to thegoals of Industry 4.0. They are considered “…one of the leading intelligent factory innovationsthat make the global production market competitive and productive” [2]. The use of cobots inmanufacturing-related activities has rapidly increased over the past several years and shows signsof significant growth potential [3]. Recent research suggests that future manufacturing-relatedroles, such as those often filled by applied engineering technologists (e.g., machinists andmanufacturing engineers), will benefit from the knowledge and use of cobots to support theirwork [4]. These are just a few reasons to suggest that applied engineering technology educatorsconsider how they might

unique challenges engineering students face in hands-on courses. To address this gap,this study used a questionnaire to gather engineering students’ perspectives on course design anddelivery. The findings highlight the challenges faced by students in online engineering courseswith hands-on components, such as difficulty in collaborating with peers. To address thesechallenges, recommendations are proposed, such as incorporating virtual and augmented reality(VR/AR) technologies and simulations to enhance the online hands-on component, providingopportunities for students to apply their knowledge in a hands-on setting, and supplementinghands-on components with video lectures and demonstrations. By addressing these challenges,faculty can improve
