in that study can be used inconjunction with a virtual laboratory environment to facilitate learning.The problems faced in the SafetyNET study illustrate a broader problem that faces machinesafety training throughout both academia and industry. It is evident that engineering studentsand industry professionals are not receiving adequate training with regard to the requirements ofmachine guarding and safety. For engineering education to be improved in this area, facultymust recognize the importance of this material as an explicit component of the curriculum.Additionally, for the subject to be taught effectively, schools must be equipped with appropriateresources to safely teach students about machine safety.Until recently, the latter problem

”1 state: “It is said that there is nothing so practical as goodtheory. It may also be said that there’s nothing so theoretically interesting as goodpractice.” Marquardt2 in his “Harnessing the Power of Action Learning” states “...allforms of action learning share the elements of real people resolving and taking action onreal problems in real time and learning while doing so.” This is what our educational approach to engineering technology education has been allabout. To address these issues, we create laboratory problems, institute engineering coopprograms, and do capstone projects, all to get students exposed to “real world problems”.These are all excellent approaches and should be applied wherever practical.
