Education, 2025 Incorporating Industry-Sponsored Technical Writing into Engineering LaboratoriesIntroductionLaboratories are critical courses within engineering curricula because they allow students tobridge the gaps between conceptual knowledge and practical applications. For example, thematerials testing laboratories in mechanical engineering programs allow students to find materialproperties and safely test components before finalizing designs [1]. In 2022, ABET releasedupdated criteria for accredited programs from 2023-2024. Under criterion 3, ABET notes thatstudents should be able to solve complex problems, apply design to produce solutions,effectively communicate with a range of audiences

connecting them to real-worldbehavior is enduring in engineering and often arises in the context of dynamics, vibrations, andcontrol theory concepts. While hands-on experiences allow students to connect the theory and itsapplication, most mechanical engineering courses including vibrations and control theory are 3-credit lecture-only courses without integrated laboratories. Therefore, mechanical engineeringstudents are only exposed to hands-on learning through laboratories offered separately in thefollowing semester or year. This time gap inhibits students’ abilities to integrate theoreticalconcepts with hands-on experiences. This paper presents the design, development, andimplementation of a hands-on free and forced pendulum device to improve

]. This shift led to less emphasis on the role of labs in shaping future engineers.Yet, laboratories remain essential for bridging theory with hands-on application and problem-solving skills.However, traditional engineering labs often prevent students from meeting these goals. First,they were designed to follow a set of patterns or standard procedures in a fixed amount of time.These restrictions limit the students’ creative thinking and reduce the complexity of tasks toroutine operations. Second, labs are prone to minimizing student engagement, as indicated by T.M. Louw [6], who found that students exhibited disengagement in laboratory experiments bydividing learning into two phases: memorized data collection followed by analysis and

However, manystudents struggle with basic mechanical components and fasteners, often failing to identifystandard parts on sight. This lack of foundational knowledge, in conjunction with suboptimalproject management habits, often results in over-reliance on adhesives. This is particularlyproblematic in situations where adhesives are used inappropriately—such as gluing gears toround shafts

Lab Simulations in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.The development of complex-shaped rigid or compliant/soft mechanisms in MATLAB Simulinkpresents significant challenges for undergraduate students. While some engineering programsincorporate MATLAB into introductory programming courses, some disciplines, such ascomputer engineering, robotics, and mechatronics, do not offer dedicated programming courses.Nevertheless, students are often assigned homework and laboratory exercises requiringMATLAB proficiency. As a result, by engaging with MATLAB across sophomore to senior-levelcourses, many students gradually develop competence.In mechanical engineering, students are introduced to programming during their freshman year.However, programming remains

Key topics include stress andstrain analysis, axial loading, torsion, shear and bending stresses, deflection of beams, combinedloading, stress transformation, and failure criteria.Two of the key fundamental concepts that students are introduced to in this course are UltimateTensile Strength (UTS) and the angle of twist, which play crucial roles in understanding howmaterials respond to forces. UTS, for instance, represents the maximum stress a material canendure before it breaks, providing valuable information about the material’s strength andreliability under tension.
