The project was evaluated with user feedbacksurveys and common user metric research methods with a sample of students that have recentlytaken the control systems course at The University of Texas at Dallas. The results ultimatelyunderlined the appeal of immersive, gamified learning experiences to students and highlights theopportunity the education field has in developing more multimedia, engaging learning materials

Each UAV isrepresented as a node in OMNet++ and communicates wirelessly by using the INET library.However, there is another challenge due to the different simulation mechanisms between Gazeboand OMNet++. The Gazebo is a time-based simulator, and OMNet++ is an event-drivensimulator which means the synchronization of both simulators needs to be carefully andaccurately handled. One alternative is to implement a module setting ROS clock as the timereference and scheduling a corresponding OMNet++ message so as to force the OMNet++simulator to generate an event based on timestamps in ROS [22].Most recently, a more sophisticated open-source integration interface of ROS-Network

According to Klein-Gardner et al.

Herrington et al. [17], in their study of a two-year long RETprogram, reported that the impacts of such RET programs could be improved by introducingseparate, guided, curriculum development support.
