modeling and toolpath programming. It not only covers essential softwarecommands but also integrates best practices in machining into CNC programing, providingstudents with a comprehensive understanding of the CNC field. The course is designed to includehands-on experience, ensuring that students gain practical skills.The paper discusses how the course materials bridge the gap between academic learning and theskills required by the industry, aligning the curriculum with typical industry settings. Variousassessment methods, such as self-assessments and project-based evaluations, are outlined forevaluating student learning. Due to limited class time, executing each student's CNC program ona CNC machine may not be feasible; therefore, the paper also

computer vision andmachine learning, are revolutionizing multiple industries [1]. Many companies have integratedAI and machine learning platforms into their customer user face and employee workflowsoftware. This trend calls for preparing the next generation of learners for this transformation,which requires innovation in the education sector, especially within the K-12 system [2].ImageSTEAM, an NSF-funded initiative, was created in 2019 to bridge this gap by empoweringmiddle school educators to integrate visual computing and AI technologies into their classrooms.The program provides professional development workshops for teachers and co-creates learningmodules with researchers, fostering a learning environment where students engage with AIconcepts

through online channels, including socialmedia, school networks, and community organizations. No prior coding experience was required,which allowed for a diverse group of students. In total, the camp hosted 17 students in 2023 and11 students in 2024, reflecting a range of genders, backgrounds and skill levels.The camp spanned two weeks, with daily two-hour sessions conducted entirely online. Eachsession was designed to be highly interactive, incorporating live instruction, hands-on codingexercises, “concept surveys” (quizzes), collaborative learning opportunities, and "papercraft"activities. The curriculum was structured around the P5.js library, an open-source JavaScriptlibrary and free online editor that facilitates creative coding through

Through assessing potential failure modesand iterations in specimen-test designs, the research projects provided an effective platform toallow hands-on learning experience where students used various course knowledge in mechanics,probability/statistics, and finite element modeling to achieve the objective. In this paper, wepresent how the mechanical integrity of 3D-printed structures depends on the printing orientationand its implications in predicting failure probability under mass production.

Holliday, Reyes, and Robson [2] provide insight intodeveloping an industry-academic internship program to allow faculty to gain general and BIM-specific construction experience. They found that students could receive a direct benefit becauseof this program. Manion [10] found that a summer faculty internship in the construction industryprovided valuable opportunities for improving quality, planning, and productivity throughfirsthand involvement with a heavy earthwork contractor. The internship included site visits,productivity analysis, and surveys of

LessonsAbstractEducators must prepare the next generation of engineers who will inherit a world that will bedifferent from the present. Research shows that Civil Engineering students often lack sufficienttraining in climate science. To be successful, graduates need training in evaluating hazards fromextreme winds, waves, and rain, and understanding climate change risks. At The Citadel, climatechange impacts are integrated into several lessons in an introductory Geotechnical Engineeringcourse. This paper demonstrates how climate change education can be integrated across thecurriculum by redesigning lessons using backward design and implementing active pedagogies,including pre-lesson, in-class, and post-lesson activities. In addition, it will provide insights

generation as optional electives. However, when thisoption is unavailable due to departmental resource constraints, raising awareness andencouraging students to engage with this global issue in their own way becomes a valuablealternative. Students are generally receptive to reading topical materials related to their coursesand thinking critically about the broader impacts of technology on the environment andsustainability, especially when such problems or projects are integrated into the course for even asmall percentage of the overall grade. This approach has been implemented in an electric circuitscourse, where project-based assignment is designed to encourage students to advocate for cleanenergy production or safe environmental practices

computer simulation ofphysical problems demanded by industry. In terms of delivery, instructors often blend traditionallectures with practical exercises using tools like ANSYS or MATLAB to ensure that students gainboth theoretical knowledge and practical experience [4]. Many programs also integrate project-based learning to help students better understand how FEM is applied in real-world engineeringscenarios [5]. Lately, full online asynchronous courses on the introduction of FEA have beenemerging in various education platforms such as Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and EdX.Balancing the range of topics in a finite element analysis course requires thoughtful planning,especially with limited credits in the curriculum.

The study found thatstudents who participated in collaborative learning were more likely to enjoy the learningexperience and feel a sense of ownership over their own learning.Improved Skill DevelopmentMany studies have shown that 10,000 h of practice are needed to fully master a skill [14], [21].Thus, implementing practice in the curriculum is necessary to move students from discoveringnew skills to mastering them. Allowing students to practice their skills in an environment withimmediate feedback greatly aids their skill development and puts them on the pathway tobecoming professional engineers.Improved Student OutcomesThe aforementioned tool has been implemented in three

). 1 Fall 2024 ASEE Middle Atlantic Section ConferenceDespite these technological breakthroughs, many undergraduate thermal system design courses still focusprimarily on basic heat transfer and classical benchmark problems. This mismatch between what is taught,and the emerging technologies, highlights the need for curriculum updates. In addition, students often lackhands-on design experience and accessibility to commercial-grade thermal design software tools that enablethem to tackle complex, real-world problems. These skills are vital as students transition into theirprofessional careers.This paper proposes an improvement to an existing thermal system design course taught in the departmentof mechanical engineering

The demanding curriculum requires mastery of core subjects, especiallymathematics, chemistry, and physics, within the first year, and early academic success in thesesubjects is strongly correlated with long-term retention and degree completion [1], [2].Misplacement into inappropriate courses can impede student progress, undermining bothacademic outcomes and persistence.Mechanical engineering programs typically rely on

defining what counts as fundamental knowledge. Acolleague once referred to our undergraduate education as “the grind” which students had to getthrough in order to be able to function as an engineer. Is the grind necessary in the era of easilyaccessible information? Who are we weeding out by requiring internalization of facts?Consider calculus 1 and 2 which are required for just about every engineering student. Finding acentroid is part of every good integration lesson, yet students get to basic courses without the firstidea of how to do that calculation or how centroids relate to balance points or centers of gravity.Should those basic math courses actually be required? Consider the freedom that a program wouldhave if the 6-8 credit hour courses
