has grown to serve over 720 participants each summer with multiple one-weekfully residential and virtual sessions. Funding support from industries such as NorthropGrumman, Raytheon, and Boeing has increased allowing EPIC to serve more low-incomeparticipants.Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, when most universities simply shut down theirengineering summer pre-college programs, EPIC swiftly changed its programming to a fullyvirtual program and served over 400 participants. EPIC created a new curriculum, activities,training, and planned on how to solve issues such as participants' ability to use school-issued orpersonal chromebooks. Intensive home-laboratory activities with mechanical, electrical, andsoftware elements were created
Target toolbox allows accessto input/output data directly from a compatible data acquisition card and generates, compiles,and creates real-time executable code for Simulink models without the user having to writelow-level code [4]. These toolboxes enhance the capabilities of MATLAB in the HIL arena.The familiar interface of the MathWorks software suite will allow students who are oftenintimidated by laboratory equipment, such as oscilloscopes, function generators, and logicanalyzers, to experiment and gain more insight into concepts taught in the classroom.MATLAB provides a plethora of tools for that one could utilize to perform dynamic analysis,study and evaluate the simulated response of a system, implement, evaluate, and improve

Since it is evident thathuman decision making is integral to the overall safety of plant operations as poor decisions canimpede the effectiveness of other safety barriers, it is necessary to ensure appropriate training isprovided to students before they enter the workforce.

PIV Background PIV is a proven [11], minimally intrusive, flow visualization and measurement techniquewhich employs a digital imager, a high power laser, laser sheet optics, and a fluid of interestseeded using neutrally buoyant “seeding” particles (Figure 1). In many ways, PIV is uniquelysuited for education in that it allows qualitative and quantitative observation of actual flows inreal time. However, laboratory grade PIV systems are traditionally expensive and requireexperienced users for safe and accurate measurement of flow fields. The high cost of these PIVsystems stems from the individual costs of high
