LabVIEW. Thisapproach ensures that the pedagogical content is not only current but also relevant to thedynamic nature of industrial technology. Fourteen summer 2022 and eleven summer 2023 ENGT4210 students presented PowerPoint presentations on area industry subjects for APSU. Thetopics covered included IIOT, ISA 95, Digital Twin, Soft PLC, IIOT API, DigitalTransformation, Smart Instruments, Cyber-Physical Protection Systems, Open PLCs, AutomationDevelopment, Digital Sustainability, Augmented Reality, and Automating Automation. In theSpring 2022 Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting, the Engineering Technology IABdiscussed Industry 4.0’s importance in the Clarksville, Montgomery, and Hopkinsville industrialregions. The department continues
learning, due to the rapid convergence of extant computing, chemical, wireless, andimaging industries towards PIC-enabled new functionalities. This convergence mandates a rapidlearning of PIC functions and automation design, by engineers who historically have trained inadjacent disciplines. The constellation of VR and GBL designed sims are intended, via a MOOCinterface, to rapidly acclimate these more veteran learners from the incumbent workforce, andprepare them for taking advanced PIC circuit design courses[27], overseen by some of thecollaborators on an advanced manufacturing workforce training MOOC platform[11].References[1] R.

1Exploring Systems Performance using Modeling and Simulation – Project-based Study and TeachingAbstractModeling and Simulation (M&S) provides a risk-free environment allowing the users toexperiment in a computer-generated virtual platform and analyze the what-if scenarios foreffective decision support systems. Due to its pervasive usefulness, the concept of M&S is widelyused across many sectors, including manufacturing, warehouse operations, supply chain, logistics,transportation, mining, and many more. The field of M&S requires computer-intensive andsoftware-based training, which is very different from teaching in a regular classroom setting.Hence, we develop a three-stage (mimic-guide-scaffold
freehand tab was used to jog the robot joints. The import library was used toimport a tool to attach to the robot. A table was imported for the tool to operate on. Targets wereset on the four corners of the table. A path was created between the four corners and. A path can betaught instructions by manually jogging joints. When the path between the four corners wasdefined, the robot was made to move along the path. This was simulated at different speeds of 200,400, 600, 800, and 1000 mm/s and the cycle time to go along the path was recorded. The cycle timedecreased as speed increased. This decrease was the steepest from 200 to 400 mm/s and keptgetting less and less steep.The experiment demonstrated how RobotStudio can be used to mimic the function

At 400 meters, the Cansat shall deploy a giant parachute to reduce the descent rate to 5 m/s. At 300 meters, the Cansat shall release a tethered payload to 10 meters in 20 seconds. During that time, the payload shall maintain the orientation of a video camera pointing in the south direction. The video camera shall be pointed 45 degrees downward to assure the terrain is in the video.

Participants followed the following steps to complete the task: 1. Each participant orders the required parts. 2. A conveyor belt delivers the parts to the parts table. 3. Participants must move their ordered parts from the parts table to their craft table. 4. Each participant assembles the toy car, following the instructions above the craft table.The assembly task involves participants combining multiple subassemblies into the final product(Figure 7).

Each group isfree to choose combination of contact-type metrology device, tool, and fixture for their group.During this stage, the TA only helps to clarify the part requirement and usage of metrologydevice without showing the solutions. After 30-45 minutes, each team takes turn presenting to their classmates how they set upand measure a feature, showing the measured data, and concluding if the part is accepted orrejected.
