The previous study found that a storybook is as effective as a lectureat delivering technical content, and participants who were exposed to the storybook were able tocomplete the activity faster than those who received the lecture. This paper proposes a revisedinstrument and protocol that employs machine learning for data analysis to assess technicallearning objectives, retention of the material, and anxiety levels related to technology.IntroductionJust as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) has evolved to STEAM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) in K–12 education with the addition of ‘Arts’, moreartistic forms of learning can be found in traditionally STEM
of Learning ObjectivesThe standard curriculum in research-intensive engineering institutions mostly has one coreengineering communication course. Is this efficient in educating students with good oral, visual,and written communication skills needed to interface and thrive with global stakeholders in thegovernment, private and public sectors? Employing an instructional scaffolding strategy forlearning communication skills across engineering curricula with well-crafted activities andassignments offer a promising means of reinforcing this essential competency within thediscipline.The communication skills requirement is consistent with the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) student outcomes three (SO#3), which states that
programs for engineering continue to grow in popularity among schools anduniversities, the corresponding curriculum that gets delivered to students has becomeincreasingly compartmentalized to each specific discipline. This shift has occurred naturally aseducational departments desire to highlight direct applicability of their education to theirdepartment label. However, much of the knowledge and many of the skills obtained in individualfields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can be applied to variousother STEM fields. Yet, preconceived barriers between each discipline often create mental gapsin the minds of students that render their abilities to think of their education’s applicabilityoutside of the department they are

Traditional fieldswithin engineering such as mechanical and aerospace, electrical and computerengineering/science, and fundamentals of communications, electronics, information technology,and mathematics, blend seamlessly into developing modern robotic devices with applications inmanufacturing automation, space, and underwater exploration, hazardous waste handling andenvironmental stewardship, agricultural automation and remote sensing, security and defense,medicine and healthcare, and variety of other applications. The resurgence of robotics inmanufacturing automation and its potential impact on job creation, and growing applications ofground-based and aerial robotics for applications
reliance on cloud computing and big data will continuously increase, andnew data-centric technologies and engineering approaches will be developed. Due to this rapidlydeveloping field, there is a need to track these trends and incorporate the corresponding developments intoour current science and engineering curriculum. Besides data science skills already taught in traditionalengineering curricula, such as mathematical, computational, and statistical foundations, the NationalAcademies guide discusses that key concepts in developing data acumen include domain-specificconsiderations and ethical problem-solving.
