toassist in solving problems, provided they disclosed any use of such tools. For project assignments,students could use generative AI to help identify project topics and continue using it throughoutthe project to generate content for their work. However, they were required to include transcriptsof all AI interactions from which they extracted information, suggestions, materials, etc. as part oftheir project documentation.Usage data was collected through a simple survey linked to each assignment, asking studentswhether they used AI programs for assistance. Rubrics were developed to assess proficiency ingenerative AI usage and competence in technical domains, with the intent of applying them tothe required transcripts submitted as part of project

undergraduates to use aspart of a human-centered design (HCD) problem. The curriculum for undergraduate engineeringstudents is heavily focused on developing quantitative skills. However, engineering professionalsmay want or need to expand their skill set to also include qualitative methods. To that end, thisresearch project introduces and provides qualitative methods training included in an existingindustrial engineering course. A comparison group of students who received standardquantitative-only methods training (Fall 2024), were asked to work through an HCD problemthat includes both quantitative and qualitative data. A mixed-methods group (Fall 2025), whowill receive qualitative methods training in addition to the standard quantitative

in comparisonto traditional lecture?To address this gap, the teaching team implemented a module using 20 borrowed Quest 1 VRheadsets. During the module, students explored and reflected upon the challenges of VRadoption in education. After students completed an initial onboarding, each week focused on adifferent learning topic. In Week 1, students explored the Iceberg Model, followed by Creativityand Innovation in Immersive Technology in Week 2. In Week 3, the module concluded withGamification for Increased Quality and Productivity. After the three weeks of topics (exploredvia VR and lecture), the final week was a project week. Students received traditional PowerPointlectures and immersive VR experiences for each topic, enabling them to

received $30 ascompensation for their participation. The transcribed recordings of the interviews werede-identified and reviewed for accuracy.Data analysisThree of the authors conducted the analysis of the IE interview data, supervised by anotherauthor serving as a research scientist. The analysis team used a combination of inductive anddeductive methods to analyze the interview data [26], [27]. The project leadership teamdeveloped prompts to focus the initial data analysis. Specifically, they developed guidingquestions that prompted the research team to synthesize information from the interview datarelevant to the research question for subsequent analysis. One of the members of the analysisteam read each of the 30 interview transcripts in full

urban spaces.This study contributes to engineering education by demonstrating a data-driven approach tourban design using wearable sensors, geospatial analysis, and machine learning. It offerspractical case studies for courses in smart cities, transportation engineering, and human-centereddesign, equipping students with skills in sensor-based data collection, predictive modeling, andstatistical analysis. By integrating engineering, psychology, and urban planning, the researchpromotes interdisciplinary learning and hands-on applications of machine learning andphysiological signal processing in real-world infrastructure design. These insights supportexperiential learning and can be incorporated into project-based coursework, fostering data-driven

context-specificalterations to content assessments and tailored experience questions, this assessment framework can beadapted to evaluate tools for teaching in broader engineering contexts. As personalized educationbecomes more prevalent, assessment methodologies such as the framework proposed here will increase invalue.LimitationsThe initial study design for project AREEA was to have eligible participants be separated into threeseparate groups. In addition to the two groups mentioned in the Experimental Plan, we intended to have athird group test a 2D version of the HAILs in a computer lab setting. This group would be a control forGBL, as they would not experience augmented reality but only game-based learning. Unfortunately, dueto time
