offerings of ENG1002 with approximately 30 students per class.Questions exist as to why engineering students who complete Intro to Spatial Visualization at [Blinded University]attain higher average grades in their other courses, such as Calculus I and II, and Chemistry [1], and why theretention rate, especially of women, is higher historically for students who have taken Intro to Spatial Visualization[2]. One possible explanation is related to students’ feelings about and confidence in their abilities to gain the skillsthey know to be important to engineers and attain their goals (self-efficacy) of becoming an engineer afterovercoming the obstacle of failing an assessment of 3-D spatial visualization skills administered at the onset of

modernindustrial ecosystem. We also discuss the challenges faced during the implementation, and somestrategies to overcome these obstacles. This course redesign is the first step toward a significantcurricular revision in our major and the deployment of PDM as a common infrastructure for allcourses. Our approach represents a shift toward driving industry practices and processes into theengineering classroom, and provides a framework to fill the gap between theory and practice.IntroductionIndustry 4.0 is transforming the manufacturing world. Engineering firms are investing heavily indigital transformation initiatives and paradigms such as the Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) arerapidly becoming the new standards for doing business [1].

engineering degree programs is the critical ability of mental rotation, whichunderscores the significance of engineering design graphics courses. The ability tomentally rotate objects is fundamental to the engineering design process, making thesecourses crucial for student success so much that The Accrediting Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) promotes that programs provide experiences in engineeringgraphics courses committed to strengthening students' visualization and mental rotationabilities [1, 2, 4]. As gauged by GPA, academic success significantly shapes a student's academicand social journey within an institution (13). This correlation underscores the pivotal roleof academic success in influencing retention and persistence rates

Results:Preliminary results suggest that this innovative integration of AI-driven Generative Design inBuilding Information Modeling (GD-BIM) with advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations carries significant implications for student health in the context ofcollaborative learning. This pioneering workflow not only promises to influence but alsoexpedites the design of interior layouts conducive to collaborative learning, thereby enhancingthe overall health and learning experience for students.Data support:Figure 1 The heavily utilized discussion-based classroom and the building blueprint from theuniversity archive.We measured the room interior, including the location of the table and chairs, window size andlocation, window AC sizes and locations

developmental training may notbe welcomed by all students. This is true as the student population becomes increasingly diversein terms of academic preparation, childhood experiences [11], social-economic status, andexposure to toys and activities that strengthen spatial reasoning, etc. [1]. For students whoalready have a higher aptitude of spatial ability, additional training may be deemed “busy work”with little added benefits. Attempts to rectify this by only requiring selected students to completethe training can be viewed as unfair, let alone creating a stigma on these students. From the 3administrative perspective, running large-scale training program

a modeling assignment is completed.Some Relevant Reported Research A significant body of past work exists around automating CAD model assessment. Most ofthis work has focused on the summative approach that analyzes a result with the goal of scoringa student’s work and providing ex post facto feedback on the differences with the expectedresult. One focus of this research is on evaluating 2D drawings generated from 3D CAD models.Hekman et al. [1] describe their experiences with a system that extracts geometric informationfrom an Autodesk DXF file submitted by students and scores its accuracy by comparison withthe expected result. Their method was developed using LabVIEW with a second versionimplemented to support a student receiving

infographicsINTRODUCTIONInfographics visually represent information from various forms of imagery, such as images anddata visualization forms [1]. Infographics combine verbal language with graphical drawings tocommunicate information concisely and interestingly visually [2]. Infographics offer severalbenefits for users since they simplify complex information into understandable formats, shortenlengthy details that needs to be communicated, and can be quickly developed for multiplecontexts, including teaching, reporting findings, entertainment, media, and marketing. Variousinfographics exist, but the most commonly used ones are animated and static infographics [3].Animated infographics are designed so that the elements are continuously moving or give theimpression that they

Designing an Immersive Robotics Curriculum with Virtual RealityVirtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a transformative educational tool, especially after the shiftto distance-learning, offering immersive and interactive learning experiences in many fields. Inthe field of robotics education, VR presents a promising avenue for enhancing pedagogy,providing students with a unique opportunity to program, simulate, and interact with roboticsystems in virtual environments [1]. As the demand for robotics skills continues to grow inindustries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare, the integration of VR into roboticseducation becomes increasingly pertinent.This work-in-progress aims to address this need by presenting the development of a curriculummodule

intelligent systems. 1. Background & Literature ReviewEngineers who learn to sketch develop many essential skills, such as spatial visualization, designidea representation and fluency, and communication. Spatial visualization has been linkedpositively to the retention of engineering students and also improved performance. Research hasbeen ongoing for the past four decades, indicating the importance of spatial visualization inSTEM education. Spatial visualization skills in students can be improved with training, andtraining students in sketching is a significant contributor to improving spatial visualization skills[1]. Engineering design is an integral part of all engineering disciplines. There are various stepsin engineering design, and
