From student learning the point of view of, it is well known that thesemester system has many advantages over the quarter system. At our institution, most studentsof the mechanical engineering program work full-time in the industry during the day, and takeclasses in the evenings. Additionally, due to classes meeting once a week in our 10-week quartersystem, we firmly believe that transitioning into a 15-week semester system will immensely

Session 1547 I. IntroductionA primary goal of higher education focuses on the development of marketable skills that willprovide graduates the most opportunity and flexibility in career choice and future advancementopportunities. With this in mind, a curriculum being developed by the Electrical EngineeringTechnology Department at Purdue University Calumet proposes to incorporate a Minor inManagement in its’ Bachelors degree program. This goal can be accomplished within theframework of the existing TAC/ABET approved curriculum.Formal and informal studies have revealed a need for additional skills in managerial science fortechnology graduates. The EET Department consulted with alumni, its’ Industrial
exploring its potentialand practical implementations. For instance, both Sunday A. Afolalu et al. and David Bradley etal. [4], [5] investigated the integration of IoT in mechatronics systems for enhanced automationand real-time monitoring. Similarly, Mutaz Ryalat et al. [6] proposed an IoT-enabledmechatronics system for smart manufacturing. The promising results of these studiesdemonstrate the potential of IoT in mechatronics, and highlight the importance of incorporatingIoT technologies in mechatronics education [7].The objective and purpose of integrating IoT in a mechatronics lab for the first METmechatronics course is to enhance students' understanding and application of mechatronicsprinciples by providing them with hands-on experience with IoT

Another example might be to discuss computer architecture withoutreferencing a manufacturer such as INTEL. While this approach would allow students todevelop their own decisions about the best operating environment, it would limit a program’scurriculum resources. The final decision regarding which approach would be best rests withinput from the program’s local industrial advisory committee. Simply stated, if a program doesnot provide graduates that would be hired by these companies, students would be less likely toenroll in
