Technology Program. Thecurriculum revision focused on two key topics from the EOP framework: EnvironmentalLiteracy and Responsible Business and Economy. Through this integration, students wereintroduced to sustainability principles such as whole life cycle thinking, closed-loop systems, andinclusive business models that prioritize product durability, ethical practices, and responsivenessto evolving social, economic, and environmental demands. Retrospective pre- and post-courseevaluations revealed significant improvements in students' understanding of sustainabilityconcepts. These improvements were demonstrated by their ability to recognize opportunities foraddressing environmental challenges and assess risks and trade-offs in sustainable

Students were exposed to use of 3D scanning in an ethical way and its impact on the society in terms of culture preservation. They were also exposed to Intellectual Property laws within their ENGR 4801 Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering course they took earlier. • SO6: an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

and fine-tuning were carried out to ensure the functionality and reliabilityof the system. Finally, in the sixth week of the term, the culmination of the project was reached,successfully achieving the objectives and delivering a complete and operational system.Societal, Environmental, and Ethical ImpactAt the start of the project, the aim was to provide a practical learning environment that simulates anautomated process in a collaborative work cell. The intended goal is to provide students with anintuitive look at what sorts of systems would be present in an automated production process, aswell as insights on how such systems can be applied for small-scale and artisan productioncompanies that wish to introduce automation into their process
