widely-adopted technology trend, there is a significant need to address thetechnical skills of the emerging workforce and improve their quality of training especially in thefield of additive manufacturing. As 21st century industries transition to globally interconnectedconglomerates (Industry 4.0), the training programs also need to evolve to provide the high-techskills required3. This portrays a need for innovative focused advanced engineering trainingtechniques that can increase the pool of highly skilled American workers with requiredproficiency. However, the main implication of teaching emerging technologies in academiapertains to not many institutions (both schools and colleges) continually being able to afford andprocure the required

. The flexibility and convince of learning on demandis an education trend that is constantly evolving. The pervasiveness of communication technology andconnected media enables educators to teach via nontraditional tools such as recorded videos, live streamingof lectures, and live discussion panels. Bourne et al. (Olin et al. 2005) listed three requirements for effectiveonline engineering education delivery. Those are 1) online courses provide comparable quality to thecourses offered traditionally, 2) Students can access the courses anytime and from anywhere, and 3) theonline offered topics cover a broad area of engineering disciplines.The third requirement is still a far reach for engineering education. Despite the apparent benefits of
developments, best learning theoryimplementations and most effective teaching practices and innovations [14].Due to the fast evolution in electro-mechanical and electronic systems, and the ever-changingaspects involved in modern industry, the maintenance of professional and academic currency isabsolutely essential. An annual faculty professional development plan is proposed in a rotationschedule, in order to provide opportunities to faculty members to stay current. The plan followsthe framework proposed by Odden et al. [15] (where applicable) and it is depicted in Table 2. Table 2.

passive lecture-based instruction should be replacedwith active, integrative, project-based learning. Design plays a pivotal role in engineeringeducation as it bridges both engineering and design disciplines, encouraging collaboration inmultidisciplinary teams. Project-based learning stands out as one of the most effectiveapproaches for cultivating these skills. This teaching method enhances student engagement andenables them to apply their freshly acquired skills to real engineering challenges. This reviewarticle aims to delve into the impact of project-based learning in the first year of engineeringeducation, highlighting its role in transforming traditional teaching methods and equippingstudents with the practical skills and problem-solving

In DBR, we use theory to inform our course design and collect data to evaluate the desiredstudent outcomes. DBR differs from laboratory experimental research in that DBR is situated inreal-world contexts where confounding factors are difficult to control, whereas laboratoryexperiments aim to control for such factors6. DBR also differs from action research in that DBRapplies theory in real-world contexts, whereas action research serves to solve an immediateproblem that often involves the use of non-research personnel7.The outcomes of DBR include theory generation and practical educational interventions.Through our study, we will generate theory by

Students provided feedback on their laboratory teammates(distribution of work load, ability to learn/teach each other) and the work environment (availableinstrumentation, lab management by instructor). In addition, students responded to the followingquestions related to their personal growth throughout the semester: What have you learned (big picture) as a result of participating in this lab? In what ways, if any, has your motivation for studying AE or BE changed? Define your major (AE or BE) in your own words.Informed consent was obtained for this study (IRB # 20150815495 EX) and placed in a sealedenvelope to be opened at the
