Engineering at West Point was established in 1989 as an outgrowth of theformer Department of Engineering (now the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering.)Brigadier General (Retired) James L. Kays was the first head of the newly formed department and had theresponsibility for not only developing the academic programs under the department but also most of thecourses. The department was designed with four overarching objectives that have endured through threedepartment heads [1]: focus on cadet education; foster faculty growth and development; remain linked tothe industry we serve - the Army; and integrate state-of-the-art computer and information technology intothe education process.The Department established the Systems Engineering major after

It not only covers essential softwarecommands but also integrates best practices in machining into CNC programing, providingstudents with a comprehensive understanding of the CNC field. The course is designed to includehands-on experience, ensuring that students gain practical skills.The paper discusses how the course materials bridge the gap between academic learning and theskills required by the industry, aligning the curriculum with typical industry settings. Variousassessment methods, such as self-assessments and project-based evaluations, are outlined forevaluating student learning. Due to limited class time, executing each student's CNC program ona CNC machine may not be feasible; therefore, the paper also

Thisintegration provides students the opportunities to be globally competitive, but more so to betterappreciate cultural diversity which has a boomerang effect on creating an inclusive

Achieving congruencebegins with awareness, continues to acceptance, authorship, articulation, and finally is achievedwith articulation (McLendon & Weinberg, 1996).Engineers and technologists are now required to work well beyond their technical world incontent and context; in addition, they are now often asked to work in multicultural teams and tolead or participate in projects. This requires an additional tool kit, one that includes tools to workwith people, tools in management, and techniques for integrating across disciplines and cultures.

While surveying is not as integral tothe modern civil engineering curriculum as it once was, it continues to be instrumental inunderstanding the difference between training and education [1].In 2020, the COVID pandemic forced educators to pivot to an online teaching modality in themiddle of a spring semester. As the pandemic raged throughout the summer, educators werefaced with the prospect of delivering courses online for the foreseeable future. This presented avery real challenge for the venerable survey laboratory which is by nature very hands-on.

engineering curricula does a rather poor job of teaching hands-ondesign. While this is currently being addressed at many universities via the introduction offreshman/sophomore level integrated design courses and through NSF funded programs such as EXCEL andSUCCEED coalitions, many curricula still do not introduce a hands-on design course until the junior/seniorlevel. Thus, it is important that the first lab exercises have a high degree of structure. As the students gainbasic skills, the labs progress in complexity and freedom of design culminating in an open-ended designproject during the second course. The lectures and labs cover the general topics listed below in the orderlisted. Also listed are examples of topics covered in the associated
