options of Arduino and LabVIEW with students, as summarized in Table 1, allowsthem to make better choices when planning projects. In the Mechanical Engineering Departmentof the University of Arkansas, LabVIEW is only seen by students during Lab 1. The experienceuses LabVIEW as a control; the students use code given to them by the instructor. An addition tothis experience showing data collection and allowing students to employ either the simple VIs orthe DAQmx VIs would give students a launching point for using LabVIEW. This would set upstudents to utilize LabVIEW’s range of customizable code and accuracy in data acquisition.Arduino is currently used in the Intro to Mechatronics course, but, like LabVIEW, Arduino isused for control.

Since the deterioration process ofaffected concrete usually develops over 10+ years, it would be very beneficial to obtain data thatcan indicate the deterioration early on so that potential corrective measures can be planned. Dataacquisition using non-destructive test methods is emphasized in this research. This includestesting the resonant frequency (RF) and surface resistivity (SR). Based on this data, themicrostructure of the concrete foundation can be assessed and its change over time monitored.Crack monitoring devices such as digital calipers, a crack width ruler, and a crack microscopewill complement the data acquisition

disadvantages of offering manufacturing programs outweigh its advantages, the future ofmanufacturing engineering programs looks not very promising unless larger institutions or majorindustries get involved. On the contrary, any institution with a good plan and location near avariety of industries or major industry can sustain its manufacturing programs since millions ofmanufacturing jobs are still available (even though a fraction of these will be engineering jobs)and retiring manufacturing personnel need to be replaced. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)presents that there were 292,000 industrial/manufacturing engineering jobs available in 2020 andit expects a 14% increase (faster than average) in that figure between the years of 2020-2030,adding

As such, one of the high-priority tasks was to extend and optimize the run time of the videopayload.

This socialcapital deficit can appear for undergraduate engineering students in the following ways: (a) lackof access to social supports for career planning, (b) lack of awareness or comfortability withseeking support from university resources including faculty and career centers, and (c) lack offamilial emotional support for their career path (Martin, Millers & Simmons, 2014). This socialcapital deficit can result in degree completion failure, underemployment, and lower lifetimeearnings. Providing the students with explicit instruction on
