space mice orvirtual reality equipment. These devices restrict the broader adoption in education. To addressthese challenges, we developed and implemented TeleopLab: intuitive teleoperations to enableaccessible remote hands-on labs. TeleopLab allows students to remotely control a robotic arm andlab equipment in real time using a smartphone motion interface in conjunction with Zoom. Wedesigned TeleopLab to preserve the interactivity and real-world complexity of this process whiletransitioning the lab to an online format with minimal modification to the original lab content.This system was implemented in a professional laboratory course in an industry-led advancedmanufacturing training program at an innovation center in western Massachusetts

Staying competitive in this field requires notonly technical expertise but also entrepreneurial skills, including knowledge of market strategies,financial management, and client relations [10]. Recognizing the lack of accessible OERs andhands-on training materials for casting, Project R2 developed practical exercises anddemonstrations using commonly available metals and portable foundry-in-a-box kits [11]. Theseresources are designed to bring sand-casting education into classrooms and laboratories,empowering students and educators to explore this essential manufacturing process innovatively[12].In summary, Project R2 bridges critical gaps in STEM education by

This 2-day intensive course introduced participants to rapid tool making methodsbased on 3D printing. Indirect and direct rapid tooling were covered with hands-on activitiesincluding use of software tools. Tooling for multiple processes such as plastic injection molding,sand casting, room temperature vulcanization (RTV) as well as machining jig and fixture designwere included in the curriculum with demonstrations or laboratory exercises. Main targetaudience was technical personnel from small and medium size manufacturing companies, eventhough it was open to similar personnel from all size of companies including start-ups.

Being engaged in experimental work allows students to bridge theoreticalknowledge with real-world applications, strengthening both their problem-solving and analyticalskills. The insights gained from this research not only contribute to technical advancements inspot welding but also highlight the role of laboratory-based learning in engineering education. While spot welding of similar materials such as two sheets of 1008 carbon steel isstraightforward, introducing an intermediate layer can enhance or hinder the weld properties,depending on the intermediate material and application of the finished piece.

AKonica Minolta Vivid 910 scanner (Figure 4a), a laser scanner, was used for the digitizationprocess. The camera had the ability to capture large free-form objects with a dimensionalaccuracy of 0.127 mm. Because of the geometric complexity of the bust, special attention had tobe paid to cavities and shiny surfaces. Since the scanner did not have the flexibility to reachhard-to-access details, the scanning process became more tedious than originally expected.
