of experiences through fictional or non-fictionalnarratives to cover specific subjects[23]. A recent podcast from Leoson et al.[24] provided a clear synthesis of how storytelling canbe used to teach a variety of concepts through story-based pedagogy. According to them, storiescan enhance the learning experience by creating meaningful connections, establishing solidcontext and positionality, and supporting student engagement. A pedagogy centered on narrativesallows instructors the freedom to incorporate different models, technologies, subjects, andstorytelling plans to provide immersive experiences for students. For example, McQuiggan et al.[25] used a virtual environment called Crystal Island to teach concepts of microbiology

By identifying respondents with their focus among six different types of academic programs, the survey responses provide insights on the differences in relative importance of the large number of topics that make up the manufacturing field. 3. The survey results show that there are meaningful differences among the variety of types of manufacturing programs and that the Four Pillars model is useful in curriculum planning. While not being prescriptive, the model can help educators tailor their programs to meet the needs of the industries served and the career expectations of their graduates.The Four Pillars of Manufacturing

Nevertheless, employers expect new hires to possess knowledge of standards and theirapplications [5]. Moreover, collaboration between universities and industry is essential to ensurethat education programs are relevant and up-to-date. However, not all universities may haveestablished partnerships with industry, which can limit their ability to provide students withrelevant and practical education on standards and standardization.To bridge this gap, Georgia Southern University (GaSou) is planning and implementing acurriculum innovation to integrating engineering standards
