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].

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. These classes are made to give students real-worldexperience with procedures and methods employed in the field. Traditionally, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

This strategy would fit will into programsattempting to develop EM across the entire curriculum.All engineers need the ability to learn new skills independently and teach these new skills to theircolleagues. Incorporating EM-related projects into undergraduate courses provide opportunitiesto develop and practice these abilities.

According to a recent study by the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE), students who take energy conversion courses are more likely tobe interested in pursuing graduate studies in mechanical engineering, as compared to those whodo not take such courses (Liang et al., 2021).To enhance student participation, engagement, and retention in the energy conversion course,novel teaching techniques have been proposed and implemented. These techniques focus oncreating an interactive and collaborative learning environment that enables students to applytheoretical concepts

The idea of implementing suchsimulations in virtual environments seems promising. Theoretically, these implementationsshould be cheap, easy to implement, and universally available

of those particular courses. In this offering format, a program isstill able to teach the material that is deemed necessary for students to learn before they graduate,but allows students to apply that knowledge in particular applications that are of the most interestto them. For example, suppose that a program wishes to teach students how to design laboratoryexperiments. The program could teach this in one particular laboratory course. Or the programcould offer two or three laboratory courses that focus on different particular subdisciplines in thefield, and teach students in each of these courses how to design experiments. By requiring thatstudents take at least one of these elective courses, the program guarantees that the students
