Safety is one competency that is highlyvalued by industries (e.g. petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, aeronautical) that hire from a varietyof engineering disciplines, but is not commonly taught across the disciplines. In this paper, wediscuss a work in progress to transfer safety pedagogy from a Chemical Engineeringundergraduate laboratory to a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate laboratory.

Engineering Education, 2023 Achieving Active Learning through Collaborative Online Lab ExperiencesAbstract In engineering education, laboratory learning that is well aligned with core contentknowledge is instrumental as it plays a significant role in students’ knowledge construction,application, and distribution. Learning in laboratories is interactive in nature, and thereforestudents who learn engineering through online platforms can face many challenges with labs,which were frequently documented during the recent pandemic. To address those reportedchallenges, innovative online lab learning modules were developed and learning strategies wereimplemented in five courses in electrical engineering, Circuits I, Electronics I, Electronics II

Mechanical,Electrical or Mechatronics Engineering. Unfortunately, outfitting a laboratory with PLC systemsfor a few lab experiences is resource intensive and thus infeasible for many smaller engineeringprograms. In the area of industrial control, a single training station may cost upwards of $8000or more. This motivates the development of low-cost laboratory experiences for teachingindustrial control topics.This paper details the development of lab apparatuses and lab documentation for severallow-cost PLC labs for an undergraduate control systems course. To assess the efficacy of theselabs, pre- and post- quizzes were used. In addition, students were surveyed to self-assess theirunderstanding of and comfort with industrial control concepts. Initial

Many students find geotechnical engineering education to be disconnected from theirinterests and career aspirations, leading them to perceive geotechnical jobs as tedious,challenging, and irrelevant. As a result, current geotechnical engineering education oftenfails to establish a strong interaction with students[1, 2]. To overcome these challenges andraise students’ interest in geotechnical engineering, traditional group projects ingeotechnical engineering courses are being replaced with creative, project-basedparticipation games, such as mixed reality games, to illustrate engineering principles usingreal-world applications.
