lectures and one three-hour labper week. The first three weeks of the 14-week semester are primarily devoted to LabVIEWprogramming. During the next eight weeks, the concepts and hardware/software integration ofsensors and transducers, interface electronics, data acquisition, and instrument control arecovered. The final three weeks of the semester are dedicated to student-initiated and student-ledproject implementation. The end-of-semester course projects provide an opportunity for studentsto integrate their theoretical, hardware, and software knowledge by developing completeinstrumentation systems. Development of soft skills such as teamwork, proposal and reportwriting, oral presentation, and project management basics is a key part of the project

OrangetownMiddle School in New York uses zSpace to support their STEAM lab instruction. Students usethe engineer-design process to build prototypes of the boats they will build for the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology’s Cardboard Boat Regatta competition. Research findings showed thatzSpace had a significant impact on creativity and critical thinking, skills that are bothindispensable in engineering design. Students reported becoming more aware of just howimportant critical thinking can be, observing how it can help avoid problems and lead to betterwork. In addition, students and researchers observed additional soft skills attributed to theirexperiences with zSpace, such as grit. Akin to persistence and resilience, grit relates to one’sinterest in
