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

courses. The modules were developedwith the support of an instructional designer from our institution’s University Center forAssessment, Teaching, and Technology. We used a “backward design” approach with threegeneral steps: identify the desired results of the modules (i.e., what will students be able to doafter engaging with the module), determine acceptable evidence (i.e., how can we assess studentunderstanding), and plan learning activities (i.e., plan the activities students will engage in in themodules) [8]. Using this approach, we focused on defining student learning outcomes for eachmodule before choosing the content and assessments in each module.We also used guidance from the instructional designer to make our content suitable for

exposure to standards while in school [3-5]. Through a study done in 2004, itwas revealed that standards education was not considered a priority at the institutions surveyed[6]. Nevertheless, employers expect new hires to possess knowledge of standards and theirapplications [5]. Moreover, collaboration between universities and industry is essential to ensurethat education programs are relevant and up-to-date. However, not all universities may haveestablished partnerships with industry, which can limit their ability to provide students withrelevant and practical education on standards and standardization.To bridge this gap, Georgia Southern University (GaSou) is planning and implementing acurriculum innovation to integrating engineering standards

The process covers load balancing, safety,capacity planning, energy efficiency, backup power, and maintenance.IMS System ManualThe previous system manual does not provide comprehensive testing and troubleshootinginformation. This made it more challenging for students to diagnose and fix problems that mightarise while working with the system. Without clear guidance on how to conduct proper testing,students have not been able to identify the root cause of the issue or take the necessary steps toaddress it. A lack of troubleshooting information could have left students feeling uncertain abouthow to approach fixing the problem once it was identified.The

To fulfil these tasks, engineers need to validatedifferent process and operations before starting the actual production or running a large-scaleoperation system, where M&S can play an important role in understanding complex systems inboth general and specific scenarios [10-12]. Thus, M&S has become a critical tool for industrialand systems engineers aiding in the design, modification, and evaluation of many complex systemsand interdependent decisions.Realizing the above-mentioned importance, the IMSE Department at UTEP creates an ampleopportunity for the students to enhance their compatibility in M&S

Figure 12 – Controls Cabinet Parts List (Partial) for Microwave ControlConclusionThe tools decrease the time required to perform tedious tasks like writing reports and algorithms.Instead, the engineer must be able to define a problem clearly for the AI tools. For example,more time should be spent on specifications and concepts and less time on detailing. But, theengineers must develop better test plans to verify the work of the AI.As educators, we have focused on the ‘how of problem solving’ with methods such as meshcurrent analysis, method of joints in trusses, and solving differential equations.

Students that graduate from these programs are able to move into systemdesign and planning roles. Students that learn to design and implement PLC-based systems areeasily employed in some of the highest-paying jobs.PLC courses normally include laboratory and/or project components. Students learn to usehardware and software from a particular vendor. While PLC vendors often offer generousdiscounts for education, the cost to outfit a laboratory is still very high. And, licensing limitationsoften prevent students from installing software on their own computers.The OpenPLC open source PLC software

Besides enabling the production of highly sophisticated instructive models anddemonstrations, hence improving STEM education, AM is increasingly used as a vehicle toquickly, iteratively and feasibly allow students to build functional prototypes to test theirconceived designs. AM can also help educate students about concurrent engineering, how themanufacturing plan for a part must be developed early on during the design process to make surethat design corrections and changes are not made late in product life cycle, where such changesbecome disruptive and costly. AM can also be instrumental in giving students hands-onexperience with product development resulting

monitors and sensors.There is another method of soldering called Wave soldering, which involves passing the PCBover a layer of molten solder, which attaches to the contact points containing the components.To prevent oxidation of the contacts and improve the chances of attaching solder to the contactpoints, the PCB is sprayed with a flux spray, preheated, and then carried over a wave ofmolten solder. This method is commonly used for through-hole design PCBs and can alsowork with surface-mount components, although it requires more planning in the case ofdouble-sided designs. However, overheating during wave soldering is a significant risk thatcan damage both the PCB and components. Careful monitoring and temperature control areessential to ensure a

The most common responses were the opportunity to practice and the ability to visualize the wiring. 4. How could the wiring module be improved? One student said it would be helpful to see the wiring colors separately.Future work. Planned improvements include (1) provide explanatory information about why thewiring needs to be a certain way; (2) adding a sequence number to each wire; (3) showing theinterface steps in a to do list; (4) eliminating each step as it is completed, (5) adding a videoshowing an someone interfacing a physical module, sensors, and relay, and (6) adding real-lifevideo of the

However, there is a need to establish clear guidelines for implementingmixed reality techniques to augment training and education for design and manufacturingeducation. Faculty might also face cognitive dissonance when being pressured to utilize noveltechnologies within their pedagogy to implement the teaching curriculum. Cognitive dissonancecan also occur when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs or attitudes. For example,faculty believing in the value of hands-on learning might question the efficacy of AR/VR tools.Still, they might also value exposing future engineers to the latest technology. Hence, wepropose a framework that faculty could use to develop a systematic transition plan for

This paper focuses on the use of a ball-bar systemto compare the theoretical and actual path of a robot as it moves in a circle. The problem addressedin this paper is how to enhance student understanding of path tracking accuracy in circular motionsof CNC machines and industrial robots. This information eventually will be used to develop moreaccurate tool path planning using the robot as a machining tool.The significance of
