adaptation to new technologies but an essential preparation for the future.Engineers of tomorrow will need to be familiar with tools like Orange, understand thefundamentals of data mining algorithms, and know how to apply these concepts inpractical settings. These skills are not just desirable but indispensable in today’s andtomorrow’s job market.In summary, teaching Physics for Engineering, enriched with data mining techniques andtools like Orange, provides students with a robust skill set that positions them ahead in acompetitive and ever-evolving market.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our sincere gratitude to the XXXXXX and its dedicatedtechnical staff, with a special thanks to technician XXXXX.References[1] Agung Triayudi et al 2022 Data

seemingly benign nature, dustcan ignite, leading to fires and explosions that cause significant injury, loss of life, and industrialdestruction. In 2022, the United States experienced 26 dust explosions, resulting in 21 injuriesand one fatality2. A notable example occurred at the Imperial Sugar plant in Wentworth, Georgia,in 2008, where a powdered sugar dust cloud explosion killed 14 individuals and injured 383.Dust explosions typically manifest as deflagrations—combustion events where the flamepropagates through a fuel/oxidizer mixture at subsonic speeds. This differs from detonations,where reaction fronts move at supersonic speeds, generating shockwaves. Although dustexplosions are primarily deflagrations, ignition near equipment or combustible
