In terms of leadership roles for4IR, they should be responsible in empowering their team members for decision making processand information sharing through open-mind that would help boost their confidence and develophigh interpersonal skills in the team [36]. From an engineering education perspective, Jeganathanet al. [31] proposed a framework for Industry 4.0 considering current technological changes inorder to meet future demands of engineers and considered interpersonal skills as an importantattribute embedded in the curriculum. In addition, Perez-Perez et al. [32]developed a trainingtool which would help develop interpersonal skills as part of teamwork

The disciplines range from astronomy toarchitecture and from engineering to environmental issues to name some. All the twentydisciplines have similar curriculum structure but different approaches in delivering the same. Thecore curriculum for the governor’s scholars programs is threefold: Focus Area: a “major” subject of study, assigned according to scholar preference as indicated on the application. General Studies: an area of study assigned by staff to challenge the scholars. Courses frequently include service-learning components in the community.

Fewstudies have randomized experiential design to determine the differences between PBL andtraditional teaching method for students’ learning outcome. One quasi-experimental design byDennis found that PBL in both face-to-face and online format were equally supportive tostudents’ learning but students in online PBL groups spent more time on learning and that therewas a significant relationship between learning issues generated and higher exam scores8. A few recent studies showed that integrated approach of PBL pedagogy and onlinedelivery model enhanced students’ learning attitudes9, better prepared students for applying theknowledge

From an electric pencil sharpener to the firecontrol system on a Trident nuclear powered submarine, these products utilize electricalcomponents packaged in a mechanical assembly. During product or system operation, there isinput from a human, robot or another product or system, causing a desirable output from theproduct or system to a human, robot or another product or system. The input data, both analogand/or digital, are processed, and the resultant output is some form of work – electrical,mechanical or both (the path integral of a force over a distance) – e.g., a useful pencil point iscreated, or a missile is fired at a target.

These experiences are uniquein a number of ways. Foremost, this program was created by transitioning an existingManufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) program that included an option in CAD/CAM.As a result, the new program was designed to incorporate the strengths of this long establishedtechnology program. One of these is hands-on intensive lab experiences within courses thatrequire students to

Withgrowing implementation of AM in various industries, it is the responsibility of different levels ofeducation to expose students to AM technologies and to integrate AM into their curriculum. It iswell known that students who gain the skillsets of today’s industry have a better chance in gettinga competitive job. In response to this need, a new senior level elective course on AM, has beendeveloped for the first time in Old Dominion University (ODU) region in the South. The coursewas developed and taught by the Mechanical Engineering Technology faculty with the expertisein manufacturing processes, welding, and material science. The course was available to a
