The capstone project involved developing a systematic and reliablemethod for producing CAD models from SEM images. This included automating some of themost tedious steps in the process to the extent possible. In the course of the project, the studentsalso had the unique experience of being trained in the use of the SEM and other sophisticatedlaboratory equipment.In the sections that follow, the authors

In order tofacilitate students’ learning of theoretical knowledge and practice of hands-on activities, eightpairs of attack/defense labs are developed. During the competition, each student is given anidentical lab environment that includes both attack and defense VMs. The
simulators reduce the costs involved in terms oftime, consumables, infrastructure and other resources, as well as the environmental impact.Though there is no equal substitute for a real welding experience, faculty using VR simulators toprepare their students in for welding processes, and then supervising them on the real weldingexercises have reported improved performance, both in terms of the familiarity/startup-time Proceedings of the 2019 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2019, American Society for Engineering Education Session ETD 455involved and the weld quality themselves [2].
