Though industrialfunctions require specialized skills, it is impossible to predict the exact skills needed by everystudent in a university program due to the number of possible career paths available to eachstudent, each requiring different technical knowledge. By providing students with generalknowledge applicable to a wide diversity of PLM processes, students are better equipped tospecialize according to their own interests. They are also better suited to excel in any arbitraryrole, having previously understood the basic, common functions of many different tasks. 7

In addition, engineers must not only learn how to use newtechnologies but also comprehend the underlying principles and physics that govern them. Thisknowledge helps them make informed design decisions and evaluate the pros and cons ofdifferent technologies better. Moreover, by grasping the fundamentals of a component'soperation

Survey results suggest that such activities can create a support network,particularly for our first-generation students. A project focused on research has the potential toengage first-year students in research at the beginning of their academic career. Programmablemicrocontrollers such as the Arduino Uno offer a platform for simple research projects that canteach students about the research cycle and prompt interest in further undergraduate research.
