New employees have more accidents, likely due to having lessknowledge and experience [29]. Rapidly changing technologies mean more training than ever isneeded to ensure employees are qualified and competent to safely and effectively do their jobs.This author has some personal experience with some of these challenges in a previous roleproviding continuing professional development for operators at refineries.

This is a lab that is being considered for addition to a new Mechatronicscourse being introduced in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Farmingdale StateCollege once we can successfully complete it in our research. An Arduino microcontroller inconjunction with a CNC shield is being programmed to run stepper motors that drive the gatefunction. Figure 7: CNC shield mated to Arduino Microcontroller Another element of the project is how to remotely signal the Arduino to open/close thegate. The current focus is to use an inexpensive IR sensor connected to the Arduino operated witha remote control. This would be another lab in the Mechatronics course. Miniaturizing onto a

I forgot that they were not things people just know.We addressed students’ conceptual difficulties by making the learning process visible to students(1DM). In addition, we created an inclusive learning environment by learning students’ names,providing active learning opportunities, incorporating technology, and creating environmentswhere students feel comfortable voicing questions and concerns.Communicating with students: There are multiple dimensions to this sub-theme
