Additionally, the time required to shift from analog to digital technology caninhibit the development of an industry-serving program, as the influx of digital tools inaugmented/virtual reality, and machine learning is taking hold through Industry 4.0 [5].An additional concern for universities hoping to create an industry-responsive engineeringtechnology program can also be faced with the issue of staffing. While some engineeringtechnology programs are able to attract faculty to their programs, many smaller or newerprograms may find it difficult to fill faculty positions with the right set of educational andindustrial backgrounds needed to teach students needed skills.

and learning due to the shortage of hardware and software that facilitate theimplementation of the hands-on projects for robotics classes. As a result, the enrollment in therobotics programs was impacted severely, especially part-time students who are willing to earn anonline degree have to give up the robotics engineering/engineering technology programs.Consequently, the diversity of the students in the plan is harmed.At present, there are some implementations to teach online robotics courses: (1) Coding intensiveway to emphasize the algorithms, as being implemented in reference [1, 2]. (2) Use simulation andoptimization to familiarize students with the concepts and theories. For example, reference [3]introduced how to give remote robotics

performance. During the pandemic,the computer-based techniques became an essential way of teaching and learning as the universitymoved completely online, and were used at much higher frequencies. Along with othertechniques like Zoom, the teaching and learning experiences were reshaped as the universitymoved online or hybrid, as resources like office hours, computers/workstations were accessedremotely, while laboratory experience became limited. Although the work of C. Lee et al. showspositive impact of computer-based techniques on teaching experience from the perspective of theprofessors, perception of students over these techniques and online learning experiences remainsunknown, calling for research from the students’ perspective.Survey on MSE 182

Examples include the commercially available “all-in-one” systems which gather and process data such as FlowMaster EducationalTM,HEMOFLOWTM, and miniPIVTM. For users willing and able to gather data separately,MATLAB provides a free (with MATLAB license) PIV application for computing velocityfields and fluid flow parameters from PIV data [23]. Beyond MATLAB, open-source PIValgorithms in several coding languages are available in the freely available software libraryOpenPIV [24].

diversity, increase in class size, and shiftto online platforms. Moreover, the current COVID crisis highlighted inequities in access toeducation as it moved online. In such scenarios students’ ability to self-regulate their learning andinstructors’ ability to dynamically adapt their teaching become important. But current assessmenttechniques struggle to facilitate adaptive teaching or to promote self-regulated learning.Accurate knowledge monitoring or self-evaluation is a critical part of self-regulated learning.Calibration describes the relationship between the learner’s performance and the perception oftheir performance on a task. Towards this, we explore how asking students to self-evaluate andvisualizing their calibration affects their
