Education, 2017 Identifying and Addressing the Gap in Covering Safety Related Topics in Hydraulic and Pneumatic Lab ActivitiesIntroductionOne of the important missions for academic institutions is to prepare students for an employmentin industry upon graduation. To fulfill this mission, it is essential for institutions to align theirprogram contents with those knowledge and skill sets vital to prospective employers. Moreover,the engineering technology discipline within academic institutions typically emphasizes onapplied concepts and laboratory activities so students learn about how to apply the lessonslearned in lectures upon graduation. Yet, this is where safety is often overlooked because themain purpose of these lab

It emphasized the need for upperclass students to begiven a greater opportunity to develop skills in problem formulation, problem solving, andcontextual presentation of engineering topics. These changes are intended to better preparestudents for the environment that they will experience following graduation, whether that beprofessional practice, graduate studies, or other opportunities.One specific recommendation developed as part of this strategic plan was: “Design and build a new Learning Center to support innovative teaching and learning activities.”To foster and support the adoption of a student-centered learning environment, a major initiativewas the development of

These workshops were a way to encourage students tofurther pursue their education in the science and engineering fields. By conducting hands-onprojects and tours coupled with brief classroom lectures, the students were able to learn and thenapply that knowledge to group activities. Workshop topics included rocketry, aerodynamics,blimps, and presentation skills.
