The greatest assessment of an undergraduateprogram’s effectiveness is to monitor growth in classroom numbers, number of studentsacquiring the certificates, and placement rate of graduating seniors. Trends of these metrics willbe provided. To accommodate working professionals enrolled in the graduate certificateprogram, real-time distance learning principles will be

Therefore, educationcurriculum needs to be formed to prepare students to meet the challenges of advanced intelligentmanufacturing industries [10]. In this paper, an innovative empirical methodology based on i4.0technologies has been developed to be used to create sustainable procedures to the interoperationsof manufacturing systems. Implementing IIoT and digital cloud to the curriculum to provide real-time detection of unplanned behavior, fast correction response, and system data documentation forthe analysis will help in understanding manufacturing operations.

IntroductionThe foundation for quality in product design and manufacturing is instrumentation andmeasurement, so it is somewhat surprising that Instrumentation and Measurements(I&M) has never been a major curriculum at universities1-7. Ideally, a properly trainedworkforce of engineers and technicians should have expert skills in measurements andinstrumentation to maintain higher productivity, and to improve safety standards in theindustry.

Andalthough recent research reveals that it is field experience that develops a worker’s positiveattitude towards safety, we as educators have an additional responsibility to impart to ourstudents the current data. The curriculum must also reflect the safety culture that is necessary toprevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses.Because of the importance of safety to our students and their apparent complacency to learningabout safety, we have committed to some changes in our program

The hope for this certificate would be to allow faculty to actively create materialsthat help service their diverse students as well as provide faculty with a way to document theirdevelopment for promotion and tenure.
