Delivery to Support the Industrial Role of a Mechanical Engineering TechnologistAbstractThe COVID-19 Pandemic has created widespread disruption in higher education. This has beenespecially felt in the engineering field, which has traditionally relied on applied laboratories todeliver course material effectively and efficiently. In particular, courses in the Mechatronicdomain that integrate mechanical components, electrical systems, and programing rely heavilyon applied labs to instruct students on this interdisciplinary topic through hands-on activities. AtNew Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), these applied labs have been facilitated in theMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program by using a

histogrambuilt on a large set of outcome data at one specific instant. Applications include the studies ofelectrical circuit noise [7], electrochemical noise [8], Langevin dynamics and free energyrelationship in biological systems [9], etc. During lockdown, laboratory generated noise orfluctuation experiments would be difficult. Thus, the use of online fluctuation data for Fokker-Planck equation application studies would be acceptable. A large set of outcome data usuallywould display a Gaussian- like distribution. A Fokker-Planck approach in tracking the timeevolution of the distribution could be applied. In mathematics, the Ornstein–Uhlenbeckstochastic process could be captured by the Fokker-Planck equation in terms of the underlyingprobability density

. The course coveredthe aerodynamics of helicopter flight as analyzed in hovering, translating, and partial poweredflight. Theory and experimental results are used to predict aircraft performance. The courseanalyzes the dynamic response of the rotor system and the performance aspects of the vehicle asa whole. This is followed by a design workshop, during which students complete the initialsizing of a helicopter to meet specific mission requirements. The course includes one flight lab ina helicopter, a laboratory examining rotor power and thrust utilizing a whirl stand apparatus, andone field trip to a commercial helicopter company. The total meeting time is 28 lessons at 75minutes and 2 labs at 120 minutes each. The textbook used by both

, without the detailed graphical solution learned inphysics lessons. A recent PNAS report concluded that while the studied honeybees acquired“implicit knowledge about the statistical properties of the visual environment” just like human,the advanced encoding scheme in human enables better probabilistic computational faculties[22]. Soon enough, a statistical learning AI system having improved encoding would be able toinclude diagrams/sketches and classify some tacit knowledge as explicit knowledge for straightforward pedagogy assessment without latent variable modeling. In terms of social learning, thelearning of a second language with implicit/tacit knowledge is well documented [23]. The storytelling of mishaps in engineering laboratories for
