Suchtechnological advances can add more expenses to educational institutions that strive to integratejob market applications in a pedagogical setting to expose students to real-world applications.Many educational institutions have been developing new styles and instruction tools that could bereadily integrated into undergraduate engineering laboratories [4]. The role of the laboratory inengineering is to teach students how to extract data for a specific design, analyze a new device,and discover a new piece of information to their knowledge of the world [5].

For example, virtual laboratories can allow students toconduct experiments in a simulated environment, while augmented reality simulations can providehands-on experience with complex equipment. Several studies have investigated the effectivenessof these technologies in online engineering courses [5], with positive results in terms ofengagement and deeper understanding of course material [6][7]. Despite the potential benefits ofVR and AR technologies, gathering student perspectives and experiences is essential to developstrategies that meet their unique needs and challenges.This study focuses on understanding student perspectives on online teaching in the Principles ofSurveying course, a hands-on course that teaches students to

The students were asked to solve an assigned series pipeline problem and toinvestigate two additional scenarios, by changing the pipeline material from Steel Schedule 40 tocopper and PVC, while all other parameters are kept constant. The three scenarios werecompared from an economical and societal impact and best option selected (see Appendix 2).HVAC Design (Project

Recent research has shown potential in this area [8],[9]. Future work in this area may also consider how AI can assist in coding and applicationdevelopment.ConclusionWhile curriculum and laboratory development conclusions are preliminary, a few things havebecome apparent to the faculty stakeholders.

these projects will help other educators develop ROS-based simulation projects as part of a course or a stand-alone course for teaching robotics.IntroductionThe Robot Operating System (ROS) has gained wide currency for creating working robotic sys-tems, initially in the laboratory and then in industry. The primary programming environment forthose working on ROS includes C++, Python, or Java. MathWorks recently released its RoboticsSystems Toolbox and ROS Toolbox. Using MATLAB to interact with robotic simulators (suchas Gazebo) and physical ROS-compatible robots (such as TurtleBot) becomes a new option.

good example of this occurred at the University of Tennessee in the late 1990s [3]. At theUniversity of Tennessee [3] the two first-year courses were redesigned in response torecommendations of an industrial advisory board and ABET. The result was a FYE programwhich was deemed the “Engage Program”. The first semester course was a non-calculus-basedapproach that focused on computer programming, graphic skills, and problem solving. Thesecond semester course focused more on calculus-based content with emphasis on statics anddynamics. Basic concepts would be presented in a one-hour lecture and the concepts werereinforced during low-tech, hands-on laboratory exercises.
