STEM learning, enabling them to analyze and solve real-worldproblems effectively.Future directions While introducing smart farming into education, several challenges were identified. Bothteachers and students pointed out issues with coding and circuit design. Although the teacherssuccessfully managed to resolve these problems, minimizing obstacles, optimizing circuits, andreducing time wasted will be essential for smooth implementation and clear learning objectives.These efforts could also contribute to lowering the kit’s production costs. Additionally, challenges related to curriculum integration were evident. Prerequisiteknowledge was an issue, as students individually varied in their physical computing skills andfamiliarity

intensive (R1) university. The participantswere undergraduate engineering students across all academic levels enrolled in various coreengineering courses in two departments offered in Spring 2023 (5 courses), Fall 2023 (6courses), and Spring 2024 (7 courses). These courses implemented reflection as part of a largerstudy on integration of reflection in the core curriculum. The total enrollment across all threesemesters was 689 students. Of this enrollment, 541 students consented to participate in thisstudy.For the investigation into the validity evidence for the RKGI, 266 participants from Fall 2023and Spring 2024 (Table 1) were considered (see Section D). While for the use cases, participantsin two core biological and agricultural engineering

learning environments. One approach thatresonates with students is gamification in education, which applies game-like elements to routinetasks [1, 2]. Game-based learning provides an interactive and engaging method for students toexplore topics that might otherwise seem mundane. By leveraging gamification, faculty canspark interest and motivate students to solve problems, acquire knowledge, and develop bothtechnical and social skills through gameplay [3-5]. Research by Subhash and Cudney highlightsthe benefits of this approach, including improved academic performance and increased studentparticipation [5]. Integrating game-based strategies enables faculty to create more impactful andmeaningful learning experiences for college students.The term
