flexible and straightforward teaching artifacts that can be easily implemented byengineering and engineering technology programs. A key component to support teaching thesetopics is laboratory modules that involve the design, assembly, and testing of hydraulic andpneumatic systems. They allow students to apply counterintuitive concepts from lectures in atangible context that fosters the learning experience [4]. Nevertheless, traditional laboratoryexercises in fluid power courses are insufficient in addressing the complexity of hydraulic andpneumatic systems, resulting in relatively high withdrawals and D/F grades [5]. Thus, there is aneed to incorporate innovative technologies and methods.Previous efforts to address these challenges included the
building. Simultaneously,students are exposed to a college learning environment while actively participating in theseactivities. This paper will discuss the strategies employed to create these activities usingresources from existing college laboratory exercises and projects within the engineeringtechnology programs. Fifty-six students from different grades participated in the program basedon their interests. The emphasis on underrepresented minority groups aligns with xxxxUniversity’s commitment to diversity and aims to increase recruitment from schools with ahigher proportion of such students.BackgroundThe project’s goal was to enhance STEM awareness among minority communities and toincrease enrollment at the xxxxx campus of XXXXXX University.

GUIDING STUDENTS IN THEIR HANDS-ON WORKAs mentioned in previous section, hands-on work is an integral part of both college educationand professional training. Although hands-on work can be incorporated into teaching,laboratories remain the predominant method for practical learning [2] . Consequently, mostengineering courses are delivered through lectures supplemented by lab sections. Typically,students are provided with a lab manual to guide them through specific tasks relevant to thelecture topics. Lab manuals come in various formats; some publishers offer hardcopy manualsalongside textbooks. While these manuals are user-friendly and directly linked to the coursematerial, they may present drawbacks. For instance, the equipment specified in the
World War II. The need for militarydevelopment and space exploration during the Cold War era fueled a marked shift in the natureof engineering degrees with a heavy engineering science component [1], [2]. As the engineeringprograms became more science-heavy, ET programs started being established to prepareprofessionals who were trained in specific domains of technology and could fill the need for“skilled crafts and the highly scientific professions” (Smith and Lipsett, 1956, as cited in [1]).As a result, one significant aspect of the ET degree is its emphasis on practical and laboratory-based instruction and relatively less focus on advanced mathematics. As a report by the NationalAcademy of Engineering notes, “the pedigree of ET is rooted in
instruction and were taking the same tests. Testingfor DL students was usually performed with proctored tests at the student site, since ODU madearrangements with local community colleges, libraries, or other institutions that can administertests and provide proctors. However, laboratory classes always raised more issues for distancelearning due to their hands-on component. The labs were often offered separately, for campusand distance learners, and not in hybrid mode. Assessment was conducted and the results werecompared for the two groups with the results showing similar results or even better results for thedistance learners than for the campus group [13]. For a digital electronics lab, to ensureconsistency across the campus and online groups, the
