importance for the future of industry, especially as implemented by regional industrypartners. A substantial component of this effort at MTC involves developing curriculum andhands-on experiences designed to familiarize Engineering Technologies students with Industry4.0 concepts such as monitoring, collecting data from, and interacting with both real andsimulated manufacturing processes remotely, through a cloud computing infrastructure. MTCfaculty have started working on the development and outfitting of a dedicated classroom wherestudents can learn about smart manufacturing principles of connectivity, virtualization, and datautilization [1]. In this paper, we present the work done to accomplish the objective of creating thededicated classroom and
) call for cross-cutting engineering andtechnology instruction in K-12 STEM classes. We investigate how high school STEM teacherscan incorporate games, underutilized educational technology (e.g., robots, smartphones), andblock-based programming to increase motivation and engagement in computer programmingamong high school students through a qualitative, collective case-study design. Our case studyimplements an intervention where we train high school teachers to teach computational thinkingthrough a game that leverages problem solving, block programming, and a ‘robotics inhealthcare’ theme. After observing high school STEM teachers facilitate the designed learningunit, we will interview them about their perceptions on this teaching framework and
features of virtual, collaborative engineering environments, state-of-the-artsimulation tools, and advanced learning management systems. An integral part of this projectinvolves the development and teaching of a new, two-semester senior level design course that isoffered synchronously at both institutions and which emphasizes teamwork, collaboration at adistance and multidisciplinary activities. One long-term goal of the project is that the courseprovides the context for feedback on the nature of virtual interactions, and therefore on how toimprove the AIDE. In addition, we aim to study whether multifaceted instructional methods thatleverage emerging information technologies can enhance student learning on fundamentaltechnologies, systems-level

The first two class periods for each unit were dedicated to lectures by facult yand guest speakers from industry, respectively. The third class period involved an activelearning activity in the form of either a computer-based or wet laboratory or a field trip.The design of any new engineering course should consider the criteria set forth by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) known as ABET 2000.

The existingtechnology programs are being phased out and new programs in electrical, mechanical and civilengineering have been developed. These programs are joint programs with the University ofLouisville and the University of Kentucky. The first graduates are anticipated spring 2004. TheMission of the WKU’s Department of Engineering revolves around our vision of Project BasedLearning. The central focus of this vision is that the faculty engage students in activities tosupport development of a clear understanding of engineering practice.

The modules will be available via World Wide Web and will be downloadable via FTP.II. The Design ProcessIn a modern mechanical-engineering curriculum, design projects will typically be located in severalcourses throughout the curriculum; however, these will typically be small in scope until the capstoneproject course is taken. Similarly, while design is discussed throughout the curriculum, the designprocess is often not covered in a comprehensive manner until the capstone design project. Ideally,the students will have
