arelatively simple historical engineering tool: the Mariner’s Quadrant. This activity not onlyintroduces students to key engineering principles, but does so in a way that is memorable andengaging. While students enjoy examples of technology that showcase current industries theyaspire to, the response to the Mariner’s Quadrant has been exceedingly positive. The quadrant, aprecursor to sextants and surveying instruments, offers students a tactile, analog experience thataccomplishes modern educational objectives.Through constructing and using the quadrant, students gain direct exposure to the principles ofremote measurement, data collection, and data analysis. They also experience the tangible impactof variable sensitivity and uncertainty in real-world

Previous research hasidentified five key domains that contribute to innovative thinking: questioning, observing,experimenting, idea networking, and associational thinking [1]. These domains provide aframework for understanding how individuals approach problem-solving and creativity, whichare foundational skills for engineering students and professionals. However, despite theirrecognized importance, there is limited research that explicitly examines how educationalinterventions can cultivate these skills within engineering education, particularly in the contextof undergraduate

Electrical Engineering. When James Clerk Maxwell first published “A Dynamical Theoryof the Electromagnetic Field” in 1865, physicists found it difficult to grasp because the theoreticalframework seemed complicated. Mathematicians also found Maxwell’s work hard to understandbecause the equations were described in physical terms. Students nowadays still encounterdifficulty grasping the principles pertaining to electromagnetism due to a lack of intuitivefamiliarity with the phenomena. However, developing this intuition is limited by the 2D nature oftraditional display technologies, which cannot truly convey the three-dimensional (3D) nature ofE&M concepts. Advances in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) display deviceshold great promise
