robots (cobots) have been identified as an essential connection to thegoals of Industry 4.0. They are considered “…one of the leading intelligent factory innovationsthat make the global production market competitive and productive” [2]. The use of cobots inmanufacturing-related activities has rapidly increased over the past several years and shows signsof significant growth potential [3]. Recent research suggests that future manufacturing-relatedroles, such as those often filled by applied engineering technologists (e.g., machinists andmanufacturing engineers), will benefit from the knowledge and use of cobots to support theirwork [4]. These are just a few reasons to suggest that applied engineering technology educatorsconsider how they might
