Despite advances in engineering education, there is a substantial disconnect betweenengineering education and the practice of engineering, that includes teamwork, collaboration,business and marketing skills in addition to traditional engineering skills [31], [33]. In the ABETCriteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, to prepare engineering students for industry,creativity was highlighted in the engineering curriculum, as a necessary element foraccreditation, where ABET defined engineering design as an iterative process leading to aproduct or solution of the highest possible quality [34].Project-based learning

[21], [13]. A study of 6000 students completed in 2012found that males are 2.9 times more likely than females to become interested in STEM careersduring high school [21], [13]. Gender gap reduction is possible, and research suggests that femalecareer interests during their early years may be influenced if the curriculum features appeal tofemale intrinsic motivation to improve the lives of others [22]. Taking advantage of this inclinationis possible through engineering outreach, which offers students an opportunity to explore complexideas in a group setting in a way that is often not possible in traditional classrooms. It is commonfor these groups to focus on a particular age group or gender. In addition, perception towardstechnology education

Betweenthe core curriculum, track electives, and extracurricular experiences, different students may havesignificantly different experience, perspectives, and preparedness for certain types of projects bythe time they enroll in senior design [4,17]. While an argument can be made that acquiring newskills can be a valuable learning experience, there is also plenty of evidence to show that moremeaningful learning happens when students are guided and given support when learning newskills [2,3,5,9,18].

MethodsStudy Context and ParticipantsAs part of a project funded by the NSF's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE)program, our goal is to create a hands-on curriculum that fosters a stimulating and collaborativelearning environment to increase interest among young students in hardware-related topics. Inthis curriculum, we designed an 8-week module centered on AIoT. This module, expanded uponlater, specifically covers concepts related to data acquisition using sensors and microcontrollers,along with the implementation of machine learning models to address real-life scenarios. In Fall2023, we implemented this module as the latter part of an elective course offered by the ECEdepartment to first-year students enrolled in any engineering major at

This is true as engineering makes use of and combinesSTEM subjects like science, technology, and math. On top of that, STEM and engineering fieldsare characterized as rigorous fields and students in both fields apply and learn critical thinking andproblem-solving skills in their curriculum. Thus, STEM and engineering can be considered similarfields in terms of their focus on science, technology, and mathematics and their application to real-world problems.
