the best!" "No! PLCs (Programmable LogicControllers) are always the best option." "Well, actually, from my experience, NI (NationalInstruments) equipment works best." The reality is that almost any project can likely be"completed" by any of these platforms. As with all things in engineering, there are tradeoffs, andwe should teach students to seek an optimal solution. What that optimal solution is, whatmetrics should be considered, and how they are weighted depends on the application at hand.The point of this work is not to advocate that one is clearly the best but rather that it isnecessary for engineers and educators to introduce engineering students to multiple platformsand help them navigate how to select a platform for a given

The availability of low-cost versions of the hardware elements that form thebasis of these systems, including processor boards, sensors, and communication devices,combined with expanding software support, such as cloud based IoT resources, ensure thepopularity of IoT approaches will continue to expand further.

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

However, many international students lack the essential teamworkskills as the development of these skills is often under-emphasised during their previous studies. Inaddition, most of these students have limited or no relevant work experience. Consequently,developing strong teamwork competencies not only enhances the effectiveness of their presentacademic endeavours but also augments their prospects for future career progression. By recognisingthis need, this study presents an inclusive workshop framework, aiming to provide master’s studentswith the opportunity to develop general teamwork proficiencies whilst exploring new team roles anddynamics that are more appropriate
