These activities and competitions allow students to network, develop cross-disciplinary skills, build hands on experience, and apply critical skills while being exposed to“real world” problem solving situations.

very high scores is most readily explained by the simple factthat a student who came to class prepared (by watching and studying the videos), was engaged inthe in-class problem solving, and then followed through with completing the problems on theirown after class, is in a better position to earn a higher score. On the other hand, a student whofails to follow-through at any point in that process is no better off (and perhaps worse off) thanthey would have been in a traditionally formatted course. The following pair of studentcomments, provided on the end-of-course student evaluation form, illustrates this point. “…it forced students to spend more time on the material…getting help with difficult homework in class was much more

Delivery to Support the Industrial Role of a Mechanical Engineering TechnologistAbstractThe COVID-19 Pandemic has created widespread disruption in higher education. This has beenespecially felt in the engineering field, which has traditionally relied on applied laboratories todeliver course material effectively and efficiently. In particular, courses in the Mechatronicdomain that integrate mechanical components, electrical systems, and programing rely heavilyon applied labs to instruct students on this interdisciplinary topic through hands-on activities. AtNew Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), these applied labs have been facilitated in theMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program by using a
