Following the lecture, students have a weekly 4-hour, TA-ledlaboratory section that is split into a pre-lab consisting of tutorials for building the skills necessaryto complete the laboratory assignments and actual work on the lab within the context of theirdesign project.

universities, hospitals, museums, and technical laboratories. Such programs couldallow students to individually explore identity connections to science [10].In some summer camps, students use designed thinking and inductive reasoning to process whatthey learned there with what they already knew [11]. Design thinking is often mentioned as auseful tool for implementing summer camps, but there is little discussion about how wellparticipants comprehend the topics covered or how this comprehension affects their perceptionsof engineering [11]. Other summer camps used Cognitive Apprenticeship (CA) as a frameworkfor creating the camp [12]. Students should be immersed in STEM-based activities as early aspossible. Immersing in a guided environment is necessary
pursuing STEM baccalaureate degrees lies in examining and addressing theculture of the engineering classroom and the engineering laboratory (Ibarra, 1999). The methods throughwhich engineering faculty choose to enrich and mentor students makes just a significant impact in whatthey are being taught. Brown Jr. offers fours components needed for strengthening the relationshipbetween underrepresented students and STEM baccalaureate degree pursual: (1) prioritizing diversity; (2)providing mentoring; (3) involving students in professional development activities; and (4) incorporatingreal cultural context within the framing of research (2011).

This enabled a greater engagement of the academiccommunity with the Teaching and Learning Center, enabling other departments to understandthe relevance of the center. In addition to providing consultancy, advice, and holdingworkshops, the center uses scientific methodology to prove that the methods work. In thisway, in addition to supporting the university community, they generate scientific knowledge.This developed knowledge is essential to convey confidence. For instance, research only withindustrial engineering and operations management students could be conducted by this centerto generate insights that can improve the teaching and learning for this

This course segment requiresstudents to design, fabricate, test, and document a novel design in an application, which is energyharvesting in this paper.

Forexample SO-1 describes competence on the body of knowledge (BOK), correct application oftechniques or methods, and use of appropriate tools of STEM to solve discipline-specificproblems. Competency in any of the five (5) student outcomes is developed gradually in aprogram through introductory lectures, experiential learning in laboratory sessions, followed upand reinforced in mid-level courses and finally mastery level skills that are taught at the highestcourse levels of the program.Table 1 presents a generalized assessment plan for any four year ET program.

For example, sessions held in computer labs involve a professor orteaching assistant demonstrating spreadsheet skills or techniques that can be mimicked bystudents. While instructors can give real time feedback in computer laboratories with smallnumbers of students, measuring students’ spreadsheet skills at scale is quite difficult.Alternatively, multiple choice tests can assess spreadsheet skills [10].

content for theircurriculum is most often in the pursuit of a tool that helps their students visualize abstractconcepts [2-4] such as forces [5], molecules [6], electrical charges [7], and their impact on realsystems. In a civil or mechanical engineering setting, AR shows promise as a tool to enablestudents to visualize force and moment vectors [8]. From a pedagogic perspective, thistechnology can be seen as an extension of the laboratory that is not confined to a designatedspace, but can be portable [3].Since AR technology for engineering education is still in its infancy, these educational tools arenot widely available. As a result, AR apps are often designed, developed, and deployed by theengineering educators themselves. The effort required

In general, lectures, hands-on laboratory orworkshop sessions, and project-based work may all be included in manufacturing curricula.When teaching manufacturing courses and lectures are frequently utilized to provide studentswith an overview of the fundamental principles in the field. A range of different technologies canbe used to deliver a lecture such as online or in a classroom setting. Additionally, manufacturingcourses could also include hands-on laboratory or workshop sessions where students get to useactual manufacturing tools and equipment.

Previousstudies have shown that hands-on laboratories can improve academic performance and increasestudent success by allowing them to experience the theoretical content in real-world examples.However, hands-on assignments come with various challenges, including the availability ofspace and equipment, instructor creativity to design experiments, and student capacity for classenrollment. This paper will present new ideas for developing assignments that keep studentsinterested in learning and can evolve with new technologies. By incorporating innovative andrelevant topics and using modern technologies, we can create more engaging and interactiveassignments that improve student learning outcomes.Methodology:Engineering Thermodynamics is a core course
