level. Thus,this paper will discuss a recently developed junior-level core course, Computer AidedEngineering, and its implementation into an undergraduate curriculum, which includesintegration of advanced CAD and engineering analysis tools for FEA and CFD, along withGenerative Design, a revolutionary optimization technique. Surveys, learning outcomes, andstudent self-assessments of this course are also presented in this work.Motivation for Digital Tools in Engineering Curricula The main motivation of the integration of basic and advanced design and analysis tools inengineering curricula is to train/educate students with up-to-date technologicalsoftware/hardware to become industry-ready engineers for the workforce. While achieving thisgoal

laboratories in their Mechatronic courses.1. IntroductionThe reshoring of manufacturing in the United States requires a retraining of a workforce toutilize advanced manufacturing tools and techniques and automation [1]. Automation requirestraining in mechatronics, which integrates mechanical and electrical systems to developautomated systems that are controlled with programming. Mechatronics is the foundation ofautomated systems and has become not only a need to shorten the current manufacturing skillsgap [2], but also serves as a platform to provide STEM education. Mechatronics is an important area of study for several STEM related fields, butspecifically for the applied ones such as Engineering Technology (ET). ET as a discipline hasexisted

research conference as discussed in the following.3. 1 Mentored Research Work in Active Research GroupsStudents were matched with faculty in our department in order to obtain direct mentorship andguidance on their research projects defined in collaboration with their mentors. Most studentsreported, that they were actively integrated into their host-lab’s community and able to participatein regular lab meetings, journal clubs, and direct research discussions with stakeholders in theirresearch project. Most students had the opportunity to regularly interact with their faculty mentorand obtain direct feedback on their work. Students ranked the quality of their faculty engagementsa 4.5/5.0. 86% of our participants reported to have had an authentic
