Curriculum Development WorkshopsThe TEFATE team members attended a variety of workshops, training sessions, and discussiongroups. The workshops were focused on team building, leadership training, critical thinking,case study development and implementation, curriculum development, and using cooperativelearning in technology education. The training sessions were primarily focused on learningvarious software and hardware applications in course delivery both in the classroom and over
for implementation as software-based virtual laboratories while othersmay involve physical experiments that can be controlled remotely. Other laboratories require physicaltesting and experimentation methods that cannot be conducted remotely. The first type might includecircuit laboratories like VELVET; materials laboratories would be examples of the third type.Mechatronics laboratories would be examples of second type(a physical laboratory suitable for remotemanipulation). Laboratories which can be virtualized or made suitable for remote operation, allow moreengineering courses to be offered through distance education, thereby increasing the availability ofengineering education. The focus of this paper is a virtualized electronics laboratory
assignments at the end of the3 hours dedicated to the lab, requiring minimum guidance from the instructor. In the previousyears, about 50- 60% finished at the end of the 3 hours of lab, and requiring much more guidancefrom the instructor, students showing rudimentary hardware and software debugging skills.ConclusionsThe results of this educational research study show that the early use of programmable logicdevices, starting in the freshman year, and the unlimited access to state of the art design tools andhardware systems improve: (i) the learning process; (ii) the attainment of Digital Systems specific knowledge and skills; (iii) the proper use of technological tools; (iv) decrease students’ and instructor’s work load; (v

functions of learningartifacts, especially those of educational software (Sherin, Reiser, & Edelson, 2004).Scaffolding enables the learner to achieve goals or accomplish processes normally out of reach(Jackson, Krajcik, & Soloway, 1998). One of the scaffolding techniques is supportivescaffolding. In this type of scaffolding, a learner is guided in terms of what to consider, how tocreate associations between ideas, and how these associations form a supportive scaffoldingstructure (Hannafin, 1999; Linton, 2000). According to Cagiltay (2006), supportive scaffoldingcan be accomplished by several methods and mechanisms, such as coaching comments,providing feedback, and provoking reflection.The use of feedback is a critically important attribute
(HMD) signaled a widespread dissemination of immersivetechnologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, 360-images and 360-videos [1]-[7].Virtual and immersive technologies are often incorporated in education to address challengesrelated to physical inaccessibility, cost, liability, etc., that introduce important constraints [1].Compared to desktop-based implementations, immersive experiences have an advantage whenthe content to be learned is complex, 3D, and dynamic [8]-[10]. Augmented and virtual realityhave the ability to create immersive, interactive, realistic implementation; however, they requirethe development of virtual environments, 3D models, and software which can be time-consuming and costly e.g., [4], [11], [12].

Although E-learningopportunities have expanded greatly at SC colleges, options providing contextual learning intechnology education are rare. E-learning in A2 that provides content in the context of real-worldapplications, including hands-on laboratory experiences, has yet to be developed. Technologyand software advances would make this possible if this resource is developed in a cost-effectively and collaboratively way and not college-by-college (as is done with E-learning ingeneral education).

exposed me to directions I had not known I could gowith my major. Since the project, I am now concentrating in mechatronics and minoring incomputer science. This is in part due to the exposure to these fields I was given through workingwith Student 1, a computer engineering major. We had to find a way to communicate our ideaswith respect to our different educational backgrounds, and she taught me about both herhardware and software knowledge. For example, I had never soldered before or used amicrocontroller.Throughout my time working on the project, I was better able to picture myself as an engineer inmy professional career, and I become more confident in being able to share my ideas.”From these comments it is clear that the open-ended nature of

Synchronous Distance Education in a Mechanical Engineering Technology CourseDecember 9, 2006Abstract: Instruction using the internet is not new and is being used more and more frequently. Some types of classes lend themselves very well to this mode of delivery; technical courses are more of a challenge. The need to use graphics and equations in the instruction and assessment increase the challenges of this type of instruction. Methods of delivery must be modified from face-to-face delivery, along with the methods of assessment. There are many facets to the education of an engineer or engineering technician. Some of the objectives of the engineer’s and engineering

good popularity in computer programming education. Generally, Python is a high-levellanguage, and it is considered a scripting language. For firmware or microcontroller education,compiler-based C/C++ languages are typically taught in courses and lessons. As an alternativeapproach, Python script language can be used in creating programs to control microcontrollers andprocessors. In this paper, MicroPython will be reviewed and studied as a potential use inmicrocontroller and embedded system education. MicroPython is open-source software, and it is alean version of a standard Python. In this paper, several programming laboratory examples will bepresented, and they are written in MicroPyhon for a Raspberry Pi Pico, RP2040. AlternativeMicroPython
