anddeveloped to introduce students to the assembly concepts/ stages of two different types ofgrippers and their associated mechanisms. The module is then incorporated into MechanicalEngineering Technology MET:230 Fluid Power course laboratories. A research study has beenconducted to explore MR's effectiveness in teaching assembly processes, where the module hasbeen experienced by 102 undergraduate students registered in the course.3. Interactive MR Module for Teaching AssemblyThe interactive MR module is designed for undergraduate-level students using the Microsoft-driven platform Mixed Reality Tool Kit (MRTK) for Unity via HoloLens 2. It introducesstudents to two types of hydraulic grippers (light-duty and heavy-duty), their components,subsystems

they allow the user to move a virtual robot end effector and generate a tool path are described.A comparison between the conventional approach of robot programming using the teach pedantand the VR-based approach is then presented. The project provides students with opportunities towork with industrial robots. Students complete structured laboratory activities that introduce themto different aspects of applied robotics, including the design of end-effector tooling and fixturesfor different tasks. The goal is to apply these VR simulators to train undergraduate engineering,engineering technology students, and professionals in robotics and automation education; and tooffer experiential learning opportunities in 3D modeling, simulation, and

geographic limitations [17]. This promotes accessibility andscalability, making it feasible for learners to engage with AM technology regardless of theirproximity to a physical lab facility. Consequently, innovative AM laboratories and remotelearning environments play a crucial role in teaching students’ practical skills and understandingAM processes and technologies. Some of the remote labs are shown in Figure 1.

educational institutions to incorporate this technology intotheir curriculum. This ensures that students are adequately prepared with the skills and knowledgeneeded for future career opportunities. One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts. In this paper, we present a semester-long project designed for a new AM course offered atUniversity A to
