The course was coupled with laboratory reports, written reports, and oralpresentations to achieve these objectives and capture evidence of students' learning and skillsdevelopment.Of particular relevance for this course was the integration of ELT principles to coordinate andorchestrate the laboratory assignments that built the necessary skills and practices so studentswould successfully complete their semester-long projects

One of the factors that influences the lifespan of products iscorrosion. Corrosion and its negative effects are often discussed in education, but processes toprevent or reduce corrosion are rarely integrated into laboratory classes. A good understanding ofcorrosion-prevention techniques is critical for being prepared for careers in the manufacturingindustry and its related fields. Corrosion causes significant reduction in mechanical propertiesand can lead

A project in a laboratory class will be used to cover the topics on AMlightweight part design, manufacturing, and testing. Students will design lightweight part (suchas lattice or topology optimized structure), practice fabricating AM parts, and performmechanical testing of the AM lightweight parts, using the AM laboratory. Due to the geometricalcharacteristics, AM lightweight part requires specific test protocols to develop an appropriatedatabase of engineering design properties, including specimen

senses than traditional online-based learning [12]. These extra sensesprovide a sense of immersion and presence. The sense of presence is the recognition of "beingthere,” while immersion is the quantitative measure by which technology can simulate a virtualenvironment [13] [14]. Studies have shown that multisensory integration boosts performance [15]and leads to faster, more efficient learning [16] [17]. These learning environments also provide theability to integrate artificial intelligence, such as speech recognition [18]. In addition, educatorshave complete control over the virtual environment, allowing them to simulate scenarios that maynot be possible in traditional laboratory or classroom settings.2.3 VR in Engineering and Manufacturing
