More and more academic institutions are starting torecognize the vital link that the web provides between the faculty and the students. As the websavvy students demand specialized attention for customized curriculum and training, it becomesthe responsibility of the academia to provide new information technology based solutions, tosatisfy these needs. In this regard, an attempt has been made to develop an automated cellcapable of providing non-site based hands-on course in engineering and technology education.The main challenge in this effort is the remote programming and control of the robot and CNCmachine.

This paper discusses thedevelopment, implementation, and results of integrating active learning modules (ALM’s)throughout an engineering curriculum with the goal of providing an effective learning resourcethat reinforces fundamental, yet challenging, course concepts without requiring knowledge of therigorous mathematical theory underlying the finite element method. Fifteen ALM’s have beenimplemented into eight courses at six different universities; this paper focuses on four ALM’sthat have been implemented at the University of the Pacific for several years thereby providing asignificant amount of data.

Finally, this paper describes the contents of the workshop, including thecompetencies the workshop aims to cultivate and exercises used to do so. This paper is not meantto be an exhaustive description of either the IREI project or workshop but, rather, a sketch of themotivations for and nature of workshop so far.Background and objectivesNational legislation in the US, such as the America COMPETES Act and, more recently, theCHIPS and Science Act, highlights the importance of research integrity in innovation andcompetitiveness of the US economy [1], [2]. Given federal funding mandates, researchinstitutions have developed interventions and
opportunity by adapting Louisiana Tech’sclasslab concept (integrating class and lab facilities at scale) and large portions of theirinnovative, NSF-funded LivingWithTheLab (LWTL) curriculum. The LWTL curriculumemploys hands-on, project-based instruction for first-year engineering design and demandsavailability of classrooms featuring equipment often restricted from wide student use byavailability and safety concerns. This adaptation included developing an updated interpretationof the classlab concept (where traditional lecture and laboratory activities are seamlesslyinterwoven into the same course, taught in two-hour blocks) and adding new supporting spacesdedicated to collaboration and access to equipment outside of class hours.
