), AISC (American Institute of SteelConstruction) and/or ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards are usedextensively for these purposes. However, the significance of standards may not be immediatelyapparent to students in a classroom or laboratory setting. Generally, in laboratory courses,students are asked to follow a given set of procedures without understanding the criteria ormethod by which the procedures were selected. Similarly, mechanical or structural designcourses emphasize code requirements without providing a comprehensive picture of thedevelopment of codes and the relationship to core mechanics of materials concepts. Thispresentation leads to students who can perform calculations without understanding why. Hence

As mentioned, all thenetwork training was used with standard laptops with CPUs and minimal GPU support.

-Based Learning (RBL)” throughout the entirety of a four-year course.This is in contrast to the conventional model, which is well known for including RBL solelyin the final year of the graduation thesis project (see figure 1 below). The program begins tointroduce students to laboratory research from their first year, while providing an environment that enables them to pursue cutting-edge research, doing so directly underthe guidance of a supervisor, advisers, and graduate students. To ensure students gain the deep understanding needed for advanced research whileengaged in RBL, they will also study foundational natural science courses, requiredspecialized subjects, and other disciplines. We also encourage students to take Liberal

digital infrastructure,synchronous CSCL-scenarios eliminate spatial distance between collaborators [9]. This allows toestablish joint courses between departments or universities or to involve lecturers or experts fromindustry, regardless of their location while reducing travel expense to a minimum [9]. Similarly,this approach expands the application of modern methods for distance learning in engineering,such as remote laboratories [9].According Theory of Media Synchronicity (TMS) [10], the key to effective use of media (rangingfrom FTF to various ICT) is to match its capabilities to the group task to be executed. For this,TMS distinguishes capabilities of a specific media with the five factors (1) immediacy offeedback, (2) parallelism, (3) symbol

students have when selecting courses can vary widely.For example, a student may have the option to select among three versions of a statistics courseor multiple versions of a thermodynamics course. These course options may differ in focus (e.g.,a general math statistics course versus a statistics offered in mechanical engineering) or teachingstyle (a lecture-based thermodynamics course versus a course that also includes a laboratory). Insome cases students may be offered greater choices to select from a menu with different courses(e.g., select a course that satisfies a history requirement) or have a much more open choice suchas a technical elective. Free electives give students complete autonomy to select any collegecourse of interest, and may be
