, design of experiment, manufacturing variance, and statistics, and emphasizeshigh-fidelity experience with real-world industrial problems.The program, now in its third iteration, had previously hosted two cohorts that were conductedentirely in person. However, for the third cohort, the laboratory component was shifted to a purelyremote format to accommodate the geographic dispersion of participants. For this third cohort,the main educational goal remained consistent—teaching process optimization and iterativeexperimentation—but the hands-on lab portion was adapted to TeleopLab’s remote platform toreplicate essential in-person experiences from past cohorts.Figure 3: Camera Views.Figure 4: Android and iOS APP.

concern raised in the study was the cost of CAD/CAM software, which posed asignificant barrier to broader implementation of digital twins in educational settings. Maksimovićand Nikola Davidović [13] explored the benefits and challenges associated with using DTtechnology for teaching engineering courses. They emphasized that digital twins facilitate bothindividual and group learning, but noted the significant challenge of developing high-techteaching tools and successfully implementing them within academic environments.Furthermore, several researchers have proposed DT-based solutions to enhance the teaching ofindustrial plants, high-tech equipment, and laboratory environments to engineering students.Zacher[14], Arras[15] and Guc [16] all presented

align with departmental concerns that students are ill-prepared for oral assessments. Before this intervention, her course, 2.008: Design and Manufacturing II,included lecture and lab portions with many graded assignments from each component, and one written exam mid-semester. uthentic assessment, in the form of two short, oral assessments, was chosen to replace short,Aweekly, in-class quizzes. The assessments, conducted during labs, would help save class time and would cover topics from multiple lectures and laboratory applications. Additionally, the teaching team believed (and promoted the idea that) oral assessments could help incentivise increased collaborative discussion and question-asking during

universities to one of the world’s largest steel manufacturers,not only bridged a significant skills gap in modern manufacturing but also delivered tangibleorganizational benefits, including a remarkable USD 8.5 million in cost savings annually.1. Introduction The rapid development of Industry 4.0 technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and machine learning (ML), has radically reshaped the global manufacturing sector. These developments require a skilled workforce to apply and utilize digital tools to meet sophisticated operational challenges [1,2]. Nonetheless, conventional teaching methods do not equip professionals with the capability to meet these challenges, focusing on
such as Robotics and Mechatronics, Quality Control, ManufacturingMaterials and Processes, Microcontrollers, and Applied Mechanics can benefit from the laboratory experiencein applications of mechatronics and automation, robotics, and manufacturing and assembly processes. As wellas helping in the teaching of various topics, such experience benefits students who are pursuing degrees in theengineering field. Students in Mechanical-manufacturing, Electrical, and Robotics and Automationconcentrations along with many others can learn many new skills from multi-disciplinary projects such asdeveloping a smart manual manufacturing assembly cell integrated with vision sensors, RFID tags andindustrial PLCs.Students in the Engineering Technology programs
