Asvaluable as they are, laboratories are an expensive part of the operating budget of anyengineering department and in some cases hard decisions are made with regard to frequencyof upgrades or in the worst case scenario to drop the laboratory from the plan of study. Analternative is to build up synergistic connectivity among laboratories to distribute the learningas well as distribute the total cost of laboratory equipment.This paper examines the approach taken by the Mechanical Engineering program at AlabamaA&M University to increase the productivity of each laboratory using common

thatengineering students are both capable and safety conscious. Prior to beginning any new topic,students undergo orientation and training in equipment use and must be able to demonstrate thatthey know how to operate any piece of equipment prior to using it in any activity. Students canalso access detailed operation sheets at any time via the worldwide web to review machineoperation and nomenclature.Currently the Learning Factory is used in four junior level and one senior level course thatinclude Manufacturing Processes 1 and 2, Design of Experiments, Ergonomics, and WeldingEngineering. Plans are being made to incorporate other courses in the near future. In themanufacturing processes course, students engage in activities covering metrology, machining

Introduction The use of computer-aided technologies by industry has grown enormously in recentyears. Practically all modern manufacturing organizations use computers in one form or another:to design and test product ideas (CAD - computer aided design), to control industrial processes(PLCs - programmable logic controllers), to inspect parts (industrial vision systems), to automatematerial handling

The plan doubles as a student portfolio that can be presented to prospectiveemployers22. It can also be used by the students as a valuable reference tool in their engineeringcareer. Since Sooner City provides a unifying theme to the entire undergraduate curriculum,courses build upon one another instead of appearing as independent entities. It is our experiencethat, all too frequently, students fail to apply knowledge gained from previous courses to futurework; Sooner City helps students not to forget what they have learned.To implement Sooner

Each scholar has a team of dedicated professional advisors and a facultymentor while in the program. Advising sessions are in-person or via Zoom, usually 20-30minutes. At the beginning of the semester, the discussion usually revolves around which classesthey should take for their career goals. During the semester, students may come for advice forany problem they have and are willing to share, whether academic or personal. Advisors usuallyput notes in the system so students can access them later, especially if the session concernsacademic planning (for instance, course schedules, applications for graduation, or other forms).These
