learning, due to the rapid convergence of extant computing, chemical, wireless, andimaging industries towards PIC-enabled new functionalities. This convergence mandates a rapidlearning of PIC functions and automation design, by engineers who historically have trained inadjacent disciplines. The constellation of VR and GBL designed sims are intended, via a MOOCinterface, to rapidly acclimate these more veteran learners from the incumbent workforce, andprepare them for taking advanced PIC circuit design courses[27], overseen by some of thecollaborators on an advanced manufacturing workforce training MOOC platform[11].References[1] R.

1Exploring Systems Performance using Modeling and Simulation – Project-based Study and TeachingAbstractModeling and Simulation (M&S) provides a risk-free environment allowing the users toexperiment in a computer-generated virtual platform and analyze the what-if scenarios foreffective decision support systems. Due to its pervasive usefulness, the concept of M&S is widelyused across many sectors, including manufacturing, warehouse operations, supply chain, logistics,transportation, mining, and many more. The field of M&S requires computer-intensive andsoftware-based training, which is very different from teaching in a regular classroom setting.Hence, we develop a three-stage (mimic-guide-scaffold

at launch and deployment. Once the Cansat is deployed from the rocket, the Cansat shall descend using a parachute at a rate of 15 m/s. At 400 meters, the Cansat shall deploy a giant parachute to reduce the descent rate to 5 m/s. At 300 meters, the Cansat shall release a tethered payload to 10 meters in 20 seconds. During that time, the payload shall maintain the orientation of a video camera pointing in the south direction. The video camera shall be pointed 45 degrees downward to assure the terrain is in the video.

, Meta Quest, or Oculus Rift S headset.To assess these interactions, we tasked the participants with assembling toy cars following theprinciples of craft production. Participants followed the following steps to complete the task: 1. Each participant orders the required parts. 2. A conveyor belt delivers the parts to the parts table. 3. Participants must move their ordered parts from the parts table to their craft table. 4. Each participant assembles the toy car, following the instructions above the craft table.The assembly task involves participants combining multiple subassemblies into the final product(Figure 7).

suitable measuring procedure given available devices and fixtures; they thenproceed with measurement basic GD&T features on provided samples (Figs. 2a-e). Each group isfree to choose combination of contact-type metrology device, tool, and fixture for their group.During this stage, the TA only helps to clarify the part requirement and usage of metrologydevice without showing the solutions. After 30-45 minutes, each team takes turn presenting to their classmates how they set upand measure a feature, showing the measured data, and concluding if the part is accepted orrejected. The TA then comments on the approach, selection of tooling and fixture, and maysuggests alternative ways to constrain datum(s). Common mistakes are observed when

planning and product design.Based on this review, we developed our survey as follows: • The existing surveys primarily targeted CXOs. Our survey targeted plant technical managers. As the focus of our project is on Industry 4.0 tools and technologies, we anticipate that we can learn more about what is happening on the plant floor if we gather data where “the rubber meets the road.” • In surveying managers about the technologies they are using, we followed Frank et al’s conceptual framework, which provides a useful taxonomy of Industry 4.0 technologies. However, Frank et al.’s sample consisted of Brazilian companies in construction and machinery which may be more traditional and less high-tech than U.S

relating the material to real-world use. Also, I would like to highlight TA (because I don't see a specific spot for him) because he has been an incredibly valuable resource for the lab portion of this class. He has been the most attentive and helpful TA I have ever had. He will always help you understand the material and has done a great job supporting the students.In addition, Students suggested to improve the course. The suggestion request sentence was“Make a suggestion(s) for improving the course.” All the responses were as follows. o The lab sessions can be extended. I really liked the content and the material during lab sessions. The only improvement could be having more time to practice with more lab sessions
