engineering programs, it is transformed into an application-heavy curriculum in engineering technology degrees.However, this is not to suggest that there is a clear demarcation between engineering andengineering technology curricula in terms of their theory vs. application focus. Engineeringcurricula include several application-based elements in the form of laboratory courses, courseprojects, and capstones. Similarly, engineering technology curricula include several theory-basedcourses such as calculus and physics. The difference lies in the fact that engineering curriculagenerally tend to be more toward the engineering science side of the application vs. theoryspectrum, and engineering technology curricula tend to me more on the application end

The study also demonstrated the effectiveness of CFD integration byproviding insights into the interface design, curriculum integration, and evaluation methods.An integrated curriculum was developed by Stern [12] by applying CFD and EFD. The objectiveof the integrated CFD labs was to incorporate an educational interface, while EFD labs focusedon modern facilities, measurement systems, and uncertainty analysis. The study highlightedhands-on experience and application of fluid dynamics principles, citing the efficacy ofinteractive tools in engineering education

LP is a mathematical optimization technique that followsthe concepts of these demands as compared to the traditional mathematical courses that onlyallows students the knowledge of concepts and theory without linking to real problems [12],[13]. Integrating LP and PBL is an approach that helps student with meeting these demands, [12]stated that linear programming courses can be taught by assigning the following procedures:gathering information, problem modeling, and result analysis and documentation.

In addition, there remains a lack of resources available to individualspossessing some existing STEM competencies to retool their skills to meet the current demandfor mechatronics specialists. Moreover, to better prepare future specialists in mechatronics,learners need hands-on experiential opportunities to understand the future outlook ofmechatronics and enhance retention in the field.

The increasing trend ofstudents moving between institutions in pursuit of engineering education has led to a profoundneed for understanding the multi-dimensional challenges they grapple with. In the realm of ET,these challenges magnify, with transfer students navigating both academic intricacies (e.g.,curriculum misalignment) and socio-cultural dynamics (e.g., integration into new academiccommunities).

In this case, the lower performance of first-generation engineering technologystudents was statistically significant.What this communicated to us is that our first-generation students enter UNC Charlotte havingearned stronger GPAs while in high school than their counterparts who were not the first in theirfamilies to attend college.

Experimentation with various metals could be tested under controlled conditions includingthe ability to apply lubrication or non-lubricative additives. Consistent contact between surfacescauses friction and wear resulting in the loss of structural integrity of the material over time.Therefore, lubrication and design play an intricate role in improving the life of metals operatingunder various load conditions.In this experiment, a Block-On-Ring

Two major root causes for theseissues were identified: conceptual difficulties and the inability of students to recall and integraterelevant knowledge to solve thermodynamic problems. The literature and the related statisticspointed to the continued poor learning/performance of engineering students in thermodynamics.The author suggests that the summarized solutions [15], have either not worked, or have workedonly
