an extension of a previous study by the authors on the useof WebGL-based interactive graphics technologies in realization of an immersive virtual realityplatform for hands-on laboratory instruction in distance engineering education. In this paper, theauthors’ previous work on creating immersive worlds for simulating industrial automationsystems will be expanded to include real-time interaction by students through control andprogramming of the simulated automation systems via the Arduino computing platform.The proposed system aims at enhancing the students’ interaction with the laboratory equipmentthrough VR simulations, and apply their design and programming skills in real-time. While usingthe system, the students develop programs for

However, today, we can now use the Internet to enable sophisticated electroniccontrol applications that were not previously possible.This new paradigm of Internet uses, machines talking to machines or M2M, will further changesociety in ways that we can only begin to speculate at this point in time. Futuristic applicationslike autonomous vehicles are now within the realm of reality, as are smart cities, smartagriculture, e-healthcare, and the list goes on. Novel IoT applications can be used to implementwide-spread and/or geographically large or small cyber-physical systems that link the physicalworld with the cyber-world. These cyber-physical control systems have the ability to controlcomplex electronic based systems in real time through

The methodology of developing EL modules willfollow a framework involving the integration of evidence-based pedagogical approaches andKolb’s theory, to be validated through this project and adopted by other institutions.Introduction and BackgroundTeaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) traditionally employ conventional methods such as classroom lectures, laboratoryworks, and internships (not necessarily a requirement for graduation). Many students in aclassroom have difficulty comprehending and relating the contents of classroom lectures to real-world applications. This

. Another advantage of adopting the LinMot isthe very low carbon footprint which will be greatly reduced compared to other types of actuators.Additionally, they offer more design freedom for manufacturing processes and productionmonitoring systems [1]. Some applications of LinMot actuators are packaging machines,assembly & handling systems, food production, semiconductor production, electronics, andCD/DVD production. Examples of LinMot actuators in real-world applications are shown infFigure 2. Furthermore, LinMot electromagnetic linear actuators provide better flexibility in thedesign of production processes and production monitoring systems. ETD 365

outcomes and links more closely with employability [16].”1.2 Best Practices1.2.1 Project Baseline learning. More studies suggest the need for collaboration betweenacademia and industry, specifically using project based learning (PBL) where the curriculumallows students to apply their knowledge in industrial settings [17]. PBL is a pedagogical methodwhich places students at the core of the classroom experience believing students obtain greaterknowledge solving real world problems. While we agree, real-world projects may not be feasiblefor class sizes of 75+ students. Furthermore, when large numbers of the students areinternational, the number of project options may be limited by industry. Proceedings of the 2023 Conference for

The concept expresses the blending of virtual and real worlds to predictsystems behaviors based on data driven virtual products and verification [1], [4]. Programming isan important part of the digital twin concept [5].In fact, programming has becoming more relevant in our lives as we live in an immersive digitalage and is often associated to algorithmic thinking, which is not only a skill related to computersbut becomes something more general that can be applied to other fields [6], [7].Often, the class curriculum stays behind, despite different initiatives are suggested forimplementation such as the USA initiative

Students will be able to use visualization skills to assist with problem- solving and modeling. 5. Communication. Students will be able to clearly articulate ideas orally and in writing.This article seeks to help address several of the issues above with a new course “Applied Math inET” offered by the ET Department at the University of Houston in 2023. Applied Math is notsimply the application of mathematics to solve “real world” problems. A more effectivepedagogical perspective lies in the presentation of the material starting with a science orengineering problem definition followed by mathematical
