The course project had been a small group project (with groups of 3-5 students), whichthe results have been presented previously at the American Society of Engineering Education-Southeast Conference (Kribs, 2021). As part of the course changes, for the current studysemester was changed to have all of the students participating in the same project, as part of alarger group (with a course enrollment of 11 students). The topic of the CURE study was decidedby the entire class, and the students were asked to conduct early research into the topic. Inprevious

A substantial component of this effort at MTC involves developing curriculum andhands-on experiences designed to familiarize Engineering Technologies students with Industry4.0 concepts such as monitoring, collecting data from, and interacting with both real andsimulated manufacturing processes remotely, through a cloud computing infrastructure. MTCfaculty have started working on the development and outfitting of a dedicated classroom wherestudents can learn about smart manufacturing principles of connectivity, virtualization, and datautilization [1]. In this paper, we present the work done to accomplish the objective of creating thededicated classroom and

identify relevant standards (i.e., technical documents thatprovide best practices and establish uniform procedures across different organizations) andappropriately use these standards to guide their work. The use of standards is so central toengineering that the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), whichaccredits colleges and universities that offer engineering degrees, requires that an accreditedprogram “incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints” into acapstone design experience [1]. Standards are valued in industry, as well. A survey of managersin technical sectors showed that the managers viewed standards as essential to daily operations,regardless of their company’s specific sector [2
