In this format, instructors teach the course from either theVancouver or Okanagan campus, while students on the other campus receive the teachingsynchronously through videoconferencing, currently one of the attractive methods in online andmulti-campus teaching [12] [13] [14]. Production Systems Management cover topics includinglean manufacturing, process design, supply chain management, production efficiency, operationsmanagement, capacity planning, and quality control.In this paper, instructors, who have been teaching these courses for multiple years, are interviewedto better understand the challenges encountered during the

CourseAt USMA, EM411 Project Management, is an undergraduate-level course that all Studentsmajoring within the Department of Systems Engineering (DSE) complete. Students learn toinitiate, plan, execute, monitor, and control a project. Topics include project selection, projectmanager roles and responsibilities, organizational structure, project planning, budgeting,scheduling, resource allocation, monitoring and controlling, risk assessment and responsemanagement, and evaluation and termination. The end state is that each student understands theapplication of project management and the complex interrelated tasks associated with completingprojects on time, within budget, and to specification.The authors served as course directors, responsible for the

According to [10], astructured curriculum planning framework is essential to effectively integrating BIM and SDeducation. By incorporating BIM tools into the curriculum, students can gain practicalexperience using BIM for SD analysis, energy modeling, and lifecycle assessments. This hands-on approach allows students to develop critical thinking skills and apply SD principles usingBIM technology.

Furthermore, AI education pedagogy for adult learners,is stillunderstudied.

For computing structural complexity, a useful representation of a curriculum is as a directedacyclic graph (dag), where the vertices of the graph represent the courses in the curriculum, andthe directed correspond to the prerequisites relationships among the courses in the curriculum. Anexample degree plan for an electrical engineering program, created using this dag representationis shown in FIgure 1. The structural complexity measure we will use is based upon the proper-ties of this dag, and it has been shown that it directly relates to a student ability to complete thecurriculum.4

In some lectures, historical figures or case studies are only discussed for about 10 minutes. Additionally, we've reduced the number of in-class quizzes to make room in class periods for adoption of new materials.• Several student ideas, such as integrating history into lab experiments, highlighting key figures in chapters, and using videos to spark curiosity, can inform recommendations for future course development.• One student suggested creating an optional open discussion forum on Brightspace for sharing

One challenge is coordinating and synchronizing teachingapproaches and strategies between co-teachers to ensure cohesive and consistent instructionaldelivery [6].

did not find value in the extent of review. The challengeof balancing the learning needs of two different cohorts is a common theme arising ininterdisciplinary engineering education [2]. Two major adjustments are planned for the secondoffering to address this imbalance. The first adjustment is to include a more extensive review oftopics from computing, particularly the use of computational models. The second adjustment isto shift much of the prerequisite review to offline learning modules that students can completeindependently. This will allow students to work through prerequisite material at their own pace,possibly spending less time on topics with which they are already familiar.

The findings align with the themeas they showcase the adaptability of goal setting based on task complexity. The resultsshowed that students could tell the difference between simple and complex tasks as theymade changes to their goals or plans. They dug deeper to analyze the complex tasks incomparison to easy tasks in which they used shallow plans for the analysis. This is alsoendorsed by Dupeyrat and Mariné [31], performance goals are usually associated withshallow−processing strategies such as rote learning. This shows that students adopt a masterygoal toward complex tasks by analyzing the task deeply instead of showing avoidance.Similarly
