)concepts, with a focus on practical applications in robotics and automation. Instead of diving deep intocomplex mathematics or programming, the module emphasizes the use of accessible AI tools, such ascomputer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), and reinforcement learning (RL), to solveengineering problems. By embedding the module into the robotics curriculum, students gain hands-onexperience applying AI to real-world challenges, preparing them for AI-driven roles in engineering. Thispaper details the design and implementation of the module, explores the challenges of adapting AIeducation for MET students, and discusses strategies to bridge gaps in their technical knowledge. We alsooutline an assessment plan for evaluating student

work involved a trip near a wind farm where sounds generated from the wind turbinescould be collected using an outdoor microphone and sound level meter recording device. Thestudents and advisors met with a local resident who acted as a guide to help identify locationswhere wind turbine noises could be collected. The students made decisions about where and howto set up the equipment, and they documented the details about the measurement site and weatherconditions. This data was collected specifically for use as samples in the psychoacoustic studythat the students were helping to plan and were responsible for completing. Upon return tocampus, the students downloaded the wind farm noise samples and identified and classifiedsamples that contained

Both engineers; andmathematicians and scientists are encouraged to contribute and participate in discussing this topic.The author plans to conduct a survey to be distributed to faculty members and students inengineering; and mathematics and science on this topic. The purpose of this survey is to gaugethe opinions of faculty members and students on the points raised in this paper.Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations:The issue of mathematicians and scientists teaching engineering courses was analyzed. It wasfound that this practice has merit. There are institutes with

In this action research, an enhancedassessment as learning was utilized to teach engineering students basic tenants of contract reviewwhile emphasizing the learning objective and student outcomes necessary for success in anengineering course. The assessment in this study included questions prefaced with basicdefinitions. Students acquired minimal knowledge from reading the question and then respondingappropriately by utilizing the information contained in the course syllabus.

Thus, in this paper, we questionwhether students will effectively build such skills on their own, using an evaluative questionnairemeant to similarly evoke self-determination theory structures, recognizing that studentimplementation may be more naturally adaptive and therefore better [4].Katsaris and Vidakis [5] emphasize the importance and efficiency of the

MechanicalEngineering students at Farmingdale State College. There are typically three class sessions oftwenty students each semester. Historically, the lab portion of this course has been focused onsimulation experiments through National Instruments Multisim software. The textbook used forthe lab portion was developed by Professor Leon J. Taub of Farmingdale State College specificallyfor this course and therefore covers the course topics very well [1]. However, students haveindicated in course evaluations that they would like to see more hands-on activity in the courseand that they do not have a real sense of the circuits being taught in the lecture with the simulation-based labs. In this paper, I will outline the hands-on labs that I plan to introduce

Many programs also integrate project-based learning to help students better understand how FEM is applied in real-world engineeringscenarios [5]. Lately, full online asynchronous courses on the introduction of FEA have beenemerging in various education platforms such as Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and EdX.Balancing the range of topics in a finite element analysis course requires thoughtful planning,especially with limited credits in the curriculum.
