researchers and the industry fail to properly understand the negativeimpact of declining enrollment and a shrinking, aging workforce, it is expected to have astrongly negative impact on the future development of the machining industry [4].Addressing the aforementioned issues related to an aging and shrinking machinist workforcenecessitates devising new methods and approaches to attract the younger generation ofprospective professionals to the industry and to retain them as long-term workforce. Currently,instructor-led and hands-on practical training methods are employed in machining workforcedevelopment programs. However, the aspect of student motivation, involvement and satisfactionis often ignored, which is one of key potential reasons for dropping

, with great success. Recent studies have shown that it can also be applied to a number ofmanufacturing courses, where students have expressed a positive preference for learning throughservice learning projects. The study presented in this paper provides another best practice from asubtractive manufacturing course by advancing the design and machining of a versatile germtool. The results of a student survey conducted for this purpose from the subtractivemanufacturing course were compared to data from the previous semester. It was observed thatthere was a significant improvement in student learning and the attainment of ABET StudentOutcomes, due to the integration of service learning into course term projects.

standards are used during additivemanufacturing process development, and using standards during testing and evaluation ofadditively manufactured parts. Examples of standards covered include ASME Y14.46 andISO/ASTM 52900-21. The modules are applicable for all types of AM processes but focus moston material extrusion and powder bed fusion. We describe the process of designing the modules,guided by best-practices for online learning and a backwards design strategy, use of a variety ofonline learning technologies, and interactive course activities. The modules have been deployedinto the curriculum of several additive manufacturing-related courses offered at a large publicuniversity in the southwestern United States starting in Fall 2022.

, the challenges include the high cost of technology, theneed for specialized training for instructors and students, and the limited availability of ARcontent. The article concluded with an emphasis on further research and development of ARtechnology in education. A few suggestions made by the authors include designing effective ARlearning environments, creating AR content that aligns with educational objectives, andevaluating the impact of AR on student learning outcomes. Overall, these papers demonstrate the potential of Mixed Reality in engineering educationand highlight the benefits of using these technologies for teaching and learning. They alsoidentify challenges that must be addressed to fully realize the potential of Extended
