Our findings highlight how a singlekit with five hands-on modules positively impacts students' understanding of the material,enhances their engineering identity, and strengthens their ability to apply theoretical knowledgeto practical manufacturing applications.Keywords: Fluid Power, Laboratory Kit, Manufacturing Technology Education, EngineeringTechnology Education1. IntroductionThe development of innovative educational kits for manufacturing education has become acornerstone in addressing the challenges of student engagement and improving learningoutcomes. These kits serve as valuable resources to close the gap between theoretical ideas andreal-world applications. In fluid power, an important aspect of mechanical, aeronautical

Here, the students implement their own control algorithms, applying thecompetencies developed in the focus stage of their study plan. Moreover, as laboratories andexperimentation are an important part of the engineering curricula and education [8], the labsessions are carefully designed to promote different and complex competencies required byABET Criterion; this, based on supplement technical workshops, in which

Traditional students face some of these same barriers. To help remove barriers, South Central College considered how its successful Mechatronics program could be expanded to support industry directly and, additionally, high school students. IMEC was built on the existing in-person Mechatronics program toFigure 1. iMEC Electronics Trainer

ABET accreditation requirements and program educational objectives. The courseintegrates a series of structured laboratory experiments that focus on key concepts such as time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, signal processing, frequency response and filtering, andsystem modeling. These hands-on labs, involving circuit analysis, RLC filters, op-amp circuits,audio boosters, volume unit meters, and timing circuits, aim to enhance students' practical skillswhile reinforcing their theoretical knowledge. The course culminates in a comprehensive finalproject, where students integrate their skills to design and implement a multi-functional signalprocessing system. By engaging in these activities, students develop competencies in problem-solving

Currently, thesmart manufacturing laboratory is in the planning stages, and there is a lack of relevantexamples to guide faculty in incorporating these technologies into their courses, resultingin slow adoption. This project seeks to develop interdisciplinary examples to effectivelyincorporate smart manufacturing into existing courses and maximize the utilization of theSmart Labs across SoET.To support this initiative, two faculty members have conducted several seminars in twoconsecutive semesters to help the faculties. Participants will receive innovative teachingmaterials aligned with various instructional modalities. They will also be guided inadapting lab modules to include smart manufacturing equipment.

and interactions. This paper evaluates theuse of BLE beacons as part of a real-time social interaction capture system, called IDEAS. Ina laboratory setting, the relationship between beacon signal strength (RSSI), distance, and ori-entation was examined to validate a proximity detection metric. A preschool classroom studyfurther tested the ecological validity of the real-time location system by comparing interactionsdetected by the automated system with those recorded by a traditional researcher-led method. Inorder to align the differing sampling methods of IDEAS and the traditional researcher-led method,we developed an algorithm to down-sample the beacon data. The results suggest a partial align-ment between beacon-detected interactions and

The faculty may resist peer instruction because of concernsabout maintaining control of the material delivery or being unsure of the method’s effectiveness.There could be class management challenges – too many students, managing allotted time, fairand even grading, how to ensure quality presentations by the students. Many of these challengescan be offset by structured guidance, clear rubrics, and highlighting the benefits of peerinstruction to the class. There are examples of success in a laboratory setting [10] in which astrong positive relationship between preparation and knowledge of the student-teacher wasshown as well as higher understanding of students
