for a greater diversity oftraining setups to be utilized in a smaller area.IntroductionIn order to effectively teach instrumentation, mechatronic and robotic courses in an Engineeringor Engineering Technology curriculum, a variety of electromechanical laboratory setups aredesirable. [1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and

For instance, 60 percent of the participating teachers indicated that they felt the levelof technical support was sufficient, meaning assistance with integration of the ‘COSMOSEducational Toolkit’ to the curriculum being developed. This was an important metric to capture,as the objective was centered on learning about different technical components of the toolkit andhow to leverage the kit for curricular content. However, a couple of teachers also indicated theywould prefer a greater amount of help during this phase, and another indicated a preference forworking more on their own, indicating some variation in

Internship experience is particularly crucial in fields with strong practicalemphasis, such as construction. Recognizing the value of student internship experiences, manyuniversities embed internship courses within their curriculum, and even making them aprerequisite for graduation. However, despite the widespread presence of internship programs,there still exists a gap between the requirements and offerings from the industry and theexpectations of students.
