]. However, this studyused the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)instruments. They found no significant difference between the personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test between engineering students and faculty.In addition, most studies have been published several years or decades ago, but nowadays, mostof the undergraduate students are from Generation Z, the first generation to be digital natives[23], [24]. They use technology to facilitate their lives, find relevant information, and solve theirproblems. They grew up with sophisticated visual imagery. They are known to be fast decisionmakers and rely on a trial and error approach [25]. To this date, there is a dearth of studiesfocused on

isdependent on bioinformatics, and integrating technology deeper into the classroom is ideal forthe highest rate of effective and successful graduates [17]. This project can serve as a stagingpoint for expansion by universities into bio computing for student education and more advancedprojects to be built on. Section 4 has demonstrated emergent properties typical of biologicalsystems that are the focus of any related course in the field, and more advanced and atypicalenvironments will show equally more advanced and atypical behaviors whose analysis is beyondthe scope of computer science and software engineering. These relationships are furtherreinforced upon repeated trails. Although we lack expertise in biology teaching pedagogy, webelieve that

leaders at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) have engagedundergraduate engineering and computer science students with graduate students in the FoodScience and Technology (FDST) program to promote education and research efforts aligned withthe land grant mission of the campus, regional priorities of the eastern shore region and objectivesoutlined in extramurally funded projects supported by National Institute of Food and Agriculture(NIFA/USDA). As part of the project, students have engaged in growing specialty crops usingFarmBots (http://farm.bot) in an outdoor 10ft by 20ft raised bed inside a tunnel house poweredby solar and wind energy, as well as an indoor setup on a 5ft by 10ft bed with LED-grow lights.Rainwater harvesting
