equations behind it, asdescribed earlier. Therefore, a new laboratory was introduced to the course as explained in detailin the next section.Methodology and ResultsIn order to introduce the software, part of the laboratory lesson is to explain what Ansys Fluentis, and how it can help students to solve fluid mechanics problems. To help students navigatethrough the Ansys Fluent software, the laboratory introduces various topics during the initialphase of the course. Below is a list of topics that are introduced to students during the first part ofthe laboratory: • Applications • Results (velocity, pressure density) • Steps for problem solving (pre-analysis, geometry, mesh, model setup, numerical results and solution

Inaddition to laboratories and equipment, two lecturer faculty lines is required to teach severalMFET courses. This information is intended for any organizations planning in developingsimilar program. The SML is created specifically for the MFET program. SML is equipped withstate-of-the-art equipment. This equipment provides students with practical and hands onlearning experience. The automated assembly line is for students to learn mechatronics and theassembly process. Students also learn about automation and controls, robotics and Industry 4.0.The metrology section of the SML includes equipment such as CMM, vision measuring machineand height gages. Using

A qualitative review is performed to assess student learning outcomesrelated to the learning activity. Finally, data from a student survey is gathered to assess theirperceived value from the virtual laboratory treatment. This enables an assessment of the effectfrom the selected treatment on the resulting skill and knowledge demonstrated.1. IntroductionThe measurement of student engagement in educational activities has gained increasing attentionin educational research and practice [1]. Effective student engagement is associated withimproved learning

the certificates will use a “1 + 2” lecture/studio format, where students have two hours of hands-on laboratory learning for every one hour of lecture, maximizing students’ experience by integrating theoretical and practical aspects of the subjects. The certificate programs integrate industry competencies from advanced technical fields, aligned mostly with project-based and problem-based teaching approaches. The curricula are designed to allow non- degree seeking students to take individual courses, as micro-credentials in the respective subjects; they can be accrued towards the certificate completion. Also students may take certificate courses as technical electives if they are approved by the respective programs. 3.1

The best approach to successfully introduce the Ignition software and itsIndustry 4.0 component is to design laboratory realistic applications to help students understandIgnition modules and concepts. For instance, one experiment would consist of reading data froma PLC, another one would be about using the vision module to create applications that display Proceedings of the 2024 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2024, American Society for Engineering Education

Therefore,teaching C/C++ to electrical and computer engineering students is considered essential in anyundergraduate curriculum. Once the solution is finalized in an algorithm, the software program maybe developed for a specific platform such as MS Windows, Androids, etc. Such developments can bedone in most software packages (Python, MATLAB

Kaminski (1998) developed five heat transfer experiments that he used to teachthe laboratory component for a Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) heat transfer courseat Central Washington University [4]. Farrell and Hesketh (2000) used an inductive approach toteach heat and mass transfer courses in which students learn from specific to general (instead ofthe more traditional heat transfer teaching scheme from general to specific) and claimed that thistechnique gives a reason for why the student needs to learn the material [5].

This program aims to enrich college curricula to raiseawareness of the role of standards and standardization in science, technology, engineering, math,law, public policy, business, and other related or multi-disciplinary fields, [14]. To increase theawareness of engineering and engineering technology, national organizations, such as JetPropulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA, adopted the inclusion of engineering and engineeringtechnology educations in the early stages of education including K-12, [15], utilizing the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS) [16].

of a new teaching career for a second author. Bychance, both landed right in the middle of an ABET visit and “W” (UWT writing coursedesignation) preparations and thus had the opportunity to contribute firsthand by developing andteaching two new required discipline-specific engineering ethics courses.Fortunately, our new colleagues had prepared well during their first year on board which greatlyfacilitated the ABET and “W” course designation preparations. Six new faculty had been hiredduring the previous year to begin the initial preparations to launch the two new programs. Five inME and one in CE [1]. The remainder would be hired in the subsequent year as the CE programwas staggered to start one year after the ME. After the inaugural
