effects of maximum materialcondition or least material condition in GD&T; Fuehne [7] simulated industrial environmentwhen maintaining the metrology laboratory at 20 ± 0.5 °C and < 50% humidity. The instructorrequested students to build solid models using a CAD software, 3D-print the parts, and thencomplete with GD&T measurement before writing an inspection report. Hewerdine et al. [8]combined a visual method and hands-on activities to teach GD&T. By printing a defectivecomponent for inspection in different ways, the effect of datum selections can be seen whenmapping measured data points on to the model. Although 3D-printed components had been usedby many educators to teach GD&T concepts, the applying of GD&T to parts

they allow the user to move a virtual robot end effector and generate a tool path are described.A comparison between the conventional approach of robot programming using the teach pedantand the VR-based approach is then presented. The project provides students with opportunities towork with industrial robots. Students complete structured laboratory activities that introduce themto different aspects of applied robotics, including the design of end-effector tooling and fixturesfor different tasks. The goal is to apply these VR simulators to train undergraduate engineering,engineering technology students, and professionals in robotics and automation education; and tooffer experiential learning opportunities in 3D modeling, simulation, and

Engineering Education, 2024 Virtual Reality Simulation of Wind TurbineAbstractThis research study presents an innovative virtual reality (VR) laboratory module aimed atenhancing green manufacturing education, particularly focusing on the intricacies of wind turbineefficiency. This VR-based educational tool provides a hands-on learning experience that simulatesthe operation of a wind turbine, allowing students to explore the dynamics of wind energyconversion. Using VR controllers and headsets, participants can interact with a virtual environmentthat includes a vertical wind turbine and a fan blower, complete with start/stop buttons and controlsfor adjusting wind speed.The virtual lab is built on the Unity 3D platform

wireless connections to machines; (LO3) identifyingproper sensors for measurement of desired data; (LO4) implementing data analytics and machinelearning tools for extraction of desired information; and (LO5) demonstrating personal andprofessional development in communication and management in the context of smartmanufacturing. 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

discusses onesuch course.This paper continues by providing a brief literature review. It then discusses the substance of thecourse, followed by a discussion of a textbook on shipbuilding, repair and conversion. The useof guest lecturers is discussed, and student survey data is reviewed. Finally, conclusions aredrawn, and acknowledgements are made.Literature ReviewThe author completed a diligent attempt to review the literature on engineering education inshipbuilding. The google scholar tool was used with search terms including “shipbuilding” and“teaching” or “learning” or “education.” Only a limited number of relevant articles resulted,with most focusing on teaching a single topic or using a specific method.Examples in published information
