It also points out that while students are getting exposure toMATLAB, they lack experience in other programming languages that are popular in the industry.However, the survey also shows that many students enjoy game challenges and problem-solving,suggesting an untapped opportunity to leverage these interests to foster a more engaging andeffective programming education. This engagement could provide a critical medium for applyingprogramming concepts to areas that students find enjoyable and relevant.Literature ReviewThe realm of education has undergone profound transformations in recent years, significantlyaltering the learning landscape for students 4,5,6.

The advantages of using simulation are huge such: proof of concept and proof of design, reduced integration costs, and shorter system delivery times. One of the most popular and powerful robotic simulation software with variety of tools in the market is Visual Components software. Integrating Visual Components simulation software for Robotic Programming courses has become essential for students in engineering and technology majors. In this paper, the software overview and capabilities will be discussed. The integration of Visual Components software with the programming industrial robotic course will be addressed. Furthermore

] and sometimes distinguishing them is not easy. The project-led education hasbeen very popular in engineering programs since the 1990s [2]. The project-based learning isextensively being used for teaching engineering design through capstone or senior designcourses. This is partly due to requirements of accreditation bodies [2].Considering the fact that teaching and research are two most important functions of highereducation systems, the integration of them has been an attractive idea. However, as reported byHealey [4], there are strong feeling among academicians on relationship between research andteaching. While some believe “university research often detracts from the quality ofteaching”[5], other stated “courses taught by those at the

ApproachAbstractThis article makes a contribution by providing a conceptual framework for transforming theinnovative use of information technology into business growth by simultaneously solving thecombined technology and business problem. A total systems approach is facilitated bydeploying the National Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence for evaluating businessmodel improvements while embedding the disruptive use of information technology. SeeClayton M. Christensen’s pioneering work1. A key finding of this applied research is that byconcurrently solving the business and technology innovations far greater financial success can berealized than when the engineering and engineering management functions are treatedindependently or in series.

The use of web sites and presentationapplications represent two recent changes that support the online classroom, or near-paperlessinstruction. We use the term near paperless because most engineering instructors use problem-basedassessment and that is difficult to implement online. Thus, tests require paper for students to demonstratetheir work and to receive partial credit. In summary, institutions that capitalize on this paradigm shift willtake advantage of the above opportunities and improve the quality of their educational programs.WebsitesThe educator may choose to use web
