As the culmination of theirgraduate study, students must identify an organizational/technical challenge, formulate a feasibleproject plan to address the issue to bring impact to the organization. During this process, theywill conduct research, create a strong business case for their industry sponsors

The tailored arrivals saved an average of 950kg of fuel and ~ $950 per approach. Complete tailored arrivals saved approximately 40% of the fuel used in arrivals.

Thephilosophy of this approach focuses on three components: 1) a clear set of desired results byidentifying goals for students, identifying the specific information students will understand andwhat students would be able to do as a result of the learning activity; 2) identification ofassessment evidence, allowing teachers to develop performance tasks to evaluate student results;and, 3) creating a learning plan that includes activities for students, enabling them to achieve thedesired results.This approach allows us to address the lessons learned in Year 1, because the approach will workregardless of the framework standard or grade level.

This is avery simple process of flipping a switch on or off to simulate parts passing the sensor,etc. If the ladder logic program is not correct, the PLC will either not function at all, orthe results will not be correct. This makes it fairly easy to debug.The program worked exactly as planned in the end. A switch was thrown to simulate theproximity sensor counting.

Its central premise isthat once the educational purposes (i.e., the learning outcomes) of a learning experience areconscientiously selected, the rest of the elements of the experience (i.e., the pedagogical activities, andcorresponding assessments) should be designed toward the achievement of those identified outcomes [5].Therefore, the three main stages of backward design are: (1) identifying desired results, (2) determiningacceptable evidence, and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction

The analysis of data is becoming more important in recent years aswell. Not just since the rise of Industry 4.0 is the number of sensors steadily increasing,generating an ever bigger amount of data. Along with this trend, the learning goals of laboratorycourses shift accordingly – from manual operation of machines towards process planning,observation and data analysis. This enables to use of so-called remote laboratories as part offlipped laboratory concepts, given their shifted focus of achievable learning outcomes [2], [6].Such remote laboratories are
