Their focus is not just on physicalmanufacturing systems; also includes the enablement (sensing and acquisition) and use of data(analytics) around manufacturing systems to drive increases in productivity, product quality, andbusiness feedback.” That echoes the “Report to the President Accelerating US AdvancedManufacturing”, which states two emerging technologies of national importance [3]: 1) advancedsensing, control and platform for manufacturing, and 2) visualization, information, and digitalmanufacturing. The ABET proficiencies also require Manufacturing Engineering programs to havecurricular content covering “manufacturing laboratory or facility experience: measurement ofmanufacturing process

anddeveloped to introduce students to the assembly concepts/ stages of two different types ofgrippers and their associated mechanisms. The module is then incorporated into MechanicalEngineering Technology MET:230 Fluid Power course laboratories. A research study has beenconducted to explore MR's effectiveness in teaching assembly processes, where the module hasbeen experienced by 102 undergraduate students registered in the course.3. Interactive MR Module for Teaching AssemblyThe interactive MR module is designed for undergraduate-level students using the Microsoft-driven platform Mixed Reality Tool Kit (MRTK) for Unity via HoloLens 2. It introducesstudents to two types of hydraulic grippers (light-duty and heavy-duty), their components,subsystems

this course in Spring 2024. There were 12 students enrolled, grouped into 4teams. Each team was allocated a 3D printer. Module 1 lasted three weeks, and each team wasallocated a 3D printer. In week 1 of Module 1, the author gave a lecture on the technologies andcomponents required to form a 3D printer. Then students spent one week assembling the printersfrom components. In week 3 of Module 1, students worked on printing test samples, whichincluded troubleshooting 3D printing.This course will be evaluated by the end of the semester. Ten common questions will be asked toevaluate the course: • The course is well organized. • The assignments aid me in achieving the course objectives. • The projects or laboratories aid me in achieving the
