criteria for accrediting engineering and engineering technologyprograms reflect the importance of standards competence for students. Specifically, the 2023-2024 Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) criterion 5d states, “The curriculum mustinclude a culminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriateengineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work.” [1] Also, the Engineering Technology AccreditationCommission (ETAC) criterion 3 states student outcomes of “an ability to conduct standard tests,measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results” (3.A.4) and “an abilityto conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments

We can expect that more focused tools will be developed and availablewithin a timeframe of a few months to years.Strategically these AI services will become an important part of an engineer’s toolbox. However,they will change the way we approach our daily work and the education required to get there.There are obvious concerns about academic integrity with this tool. In the

in the Engineering Technology curriculum, there is an opportunity to expand knowledgeinvolving the integration of automation into a production system. In order to better prepare studentsfor this subject and the job market, an interdisciplinary senior design team is designing andconstructing a cobot system which will simulate a cobot assisting in CNC manufacturing (Figure9). This newly developed integrated cell will have a new co-robot with vision camera for therobotics lab and will be used as an educational module involving the integration of automatedmachinery. This module is still under development and will be integrated to this course in nextyear offering. Figure 9. Conceptual co-robot integrated cell and simulation with Robodk

IntroductionManufacturing helps create wealth, provides jobs, and is vital to the economy. Because technologyis changing rapidly, manufacturing companies need to adapt and stay ahead of the competition.There is an imperative need to train future engineers in the manufacturing industries to help themadapt the latest technology to stay competitive. A hands-on curriculum that blends theory andpractical skills is needed to teach these essential skills.

in additive manufacturing courses and projectsAbstract: Engineers in a variety of industries use engineering standards to guide their work.However, many engineering students have little awareness of relevant standards or codes,especially in cutting-edge fields with rapidly developing standards such as additivemanufacturing. To address this gap, we have developed four online learning modules focused onthe topic of additive manufacturing which are deployed in our university’s learning managementsystem. These modules can be incorporated into manufacturing and design courses throughoutthe engineering curriculum. The covered topics include an introduction to engineering standards,an introduction to standards in additive manufacturing, how

Financial motives also seem to play amajor role by XR development companies when they prescribe specific tools and technologies tofaculty to integrate within the curriculum. There are several different models of learning styles,but the most widely recognized are: 1. Visual learners: Visual learners prefer to learn through visual aids such as pictures, diagrams, and videos. They benefit from seeing information in a graphical or visual format
