Consequently, students not only tend to face challenges in assimilating core fluid powerconcepts but are also later confronted with a lack of hands-on skills in industry. Despite the effortsto incorporate interactive tools and methods into fluid power labs, the challenge remains in trainingstudents on the control and data acquisition of fluid power systems using flexible methods thatfoster learning and critical thinking. Therefore, this paper presents a set of laboratory modulesdesigned to introduce pneumatic systems design and control to fluid power college and universitycourses following a practical and inexpensive approach.

It is easy to create illusions for students that hands-onpractices in college will not be relevant in future real work, potentially leading to loss of interestor decreased attention to hands-on practices. As an integral part of professional trainings, hands-on practice with any weakness in college can limit not only students’ education performance butalso their future work abilities. According to the author’s observation, there has been asignificant change in student study habits nowadays, especially after the pandemic.

World War II. The need for militarydevelopment and space exploration during the Cold War era fueled a marked shift in the natureof engineering degrees with a heavy engineering science component [1], [2]. As the engineeringprograms became more science-heavy, ET programs started being established to prepareprofessionals who were trained in specific domains of technology and could fill the need for“skilled crafts and the highly scientific professions” (Smith and Lipsett, 1956, as cited in [1]).As a result, one significant aspect of the ET degree is its emphasis on practical and laboratory-based instruction and relatively less focus on advanced mathematics.
