mechanisms, which foster deeper understanding and engagement. Moreover, by aggre-gating and contextualizing real-world experiences—including those from novel environments suchas space exploration—the framework bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practicalapplications. This capability holds particular promise for engineering and STEM education, whereinstructors increasingly incorporate examples from emerging technologies like robotics, automa-tion, and virtual reality. Through formative assessments and timely, context-driven interventions,learners can build foundational knowledge while developing the adaptability and critical thinkingskills needed to engage with cutting-edge innovations.Beyond individual learning, this framework has

’ fast adoption of innovative and available new technologies. Agrowing concern for engineering instructors and among college writing instructors is that ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) being widely available to students. Although these technologies arenot a main topic of the work presented here, they can potentially impact the teaching of technicalwriting and the assessment of student outcomes, as well as engineering teaching in general. AI asa tool for text development and even to produce numerical solutions to textbook-type problems isknown and is getting more powerful. But it is not clear how capable AI is of correctly handlinggraphical information and integrating it with text. Therefore, its use by students to generatetechnical reports could
