Upon completing thebadges and the overall pathway, students gain digitally curated credentials showing demonstratedmastery of mechanical testing concepts and skills, which can be presented to their professionalsupervisors at the ASCC and at their future employers. These pathways can also be used forworkforce development and continuing education, to update current worker skills and knowledgein a directed and efficient manner.1.

as a transformative force in higher education, fundamentallychanging how students engage with knowledge. While often simply defined as "learning bydoing," experiential learning encompasses a rich variety of approaches including project-basedwork, community engagement, design challenges, laboratory investigations, and problem-basedlearning. What distinguishes these educational experiences is their open-ended, authenticnature—they provide structured scaffolding but lack predetermined solutions or pathways,mirroring the complexity students will encounter in professional practice.The impact of experiential learning in engineering education is particularly significant, as itbridges the persistent gap between theory and practice.
