New technology reducesproduction costs while increases the product quality with more efficient work processes[2]. While it is plausible that Industry 4.0 improves people’s overall life satisfaction, atthe meanwhile, this rapid change causes anxiety among employees because advancedtechnology may replace human workers, especially blue collar workers [1, 3]. Forexample, in a traditional warehouse, workers’ job, which includes operations of pickup,delivery, and bookkeeping are highly repetitive [4].

It has been shown that students who perform poorly in their firstadvanced math or engineering science course are more likely to struggle or even not completetheir intended engineering degree. For example, a study done by Laugerman et al at Iowa StateUniversity showed a strong correlation between performance in the first engineering calculus andphysics course and engineering graduation rate.[1] As second study done by Bischof at

In ESET program, most courses with courseprojects use about half of the semester for regular laboratories and only about seven weeks fortheir course projects. Given the time limitation, making a gadget for the Mimi-Maker Fairecould be a challenge for some lower level courses. In Make Culture, people are supposed tolearn many knowledge and skills on their own before they can make gadgets. As students movethrough the ESET program, they know more and more about designing electronic gadgets. Control System (ESET 462) is a senior level course. Students typically take this coursetogether with their Capstone I (ESET 419), as illustrated in Fig.1

Industry 4.0 is a term thatseems to be synonymous with 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing”.The literature suggests that students and graduates who possess direct metal additivemanufacturing techniques knowledge and skills have a career advantage compared to studentswhose knowledge and skill base is limited to plastic printing [2].

Many species can develop from egg to egg-laying adult in as little as 21to 28 days during warm summer months. Root damage causes formation of galls and gallsdamage the water-and nutrient-conducting abilities of the roots. Plants heavily infested early inthe season can die.Students’ task was to design, construct and test a soil sterilizer to kill nematodes. Sterilizershould be capable of raising sandy soil temperature by 70oF (from 60oF to130oF) in less than halfan hour. Targeted soil volume was 1.5-ft in diameter and 1-ft

IntroductionResearch has found that higher quality mentor-mentee relationships produce better outcomes [1].Ergo, recent studies focus on discerning factors that produce higher quality mentoringrelationships. In higher education, numerous scholars have focused on mentor-menteerelationship regarding the population of college engineering students. But the impact of thementor-mentee relationship on students’ self-efficacy in STEM teaching remained scarce. Firstof all, the interactions between STEM students and their mentors are infrequently enough,particularly the ones between racial/ethnic minorities students and their mentors [2]. Second, theculprit may be the lack of structure of how to assign different mentors to students or concreatefindings of what exactly

This left a burr on thecut pieces that needed to be smoothed off with a file. Current hand-held cutters are much improvedfrom this initial design, but there are still concerns about the impact of the repetitive task of cuttingon the upper-extremity musculoskeletal structure. Using poorly designed manual wire stripperscan cause physical health issues over a long period of time such as arthritis, wrist tendinitis andother such disorders.
