To address this, wepropose developing an AI-driven course recommendation tool focused on the Electrical andComputer Engineering (ECE) domain, designed to bridge this gap by empowering students withdata-driven guidance that improves career alignment.The tool leverages machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze job postings from industrycareers pages, extracting key trends and skills currently in demand. Using keywords associatedwith various ECE subfields—such as controls, power electronics, and power systems—, thesystem will provide students with a curated list of recommended courses corresponding to thesemarket demands. Additionally, the tool will incorporate student input, allowing them to tailorrecommendations based on their interests

This expansion would provide amore comprehensive understanding of how different institutional environments influence SFSscholars' engagement in research activities. Additionally, longitudinal studies could be conductedto assess the long-term impacts of research participation on scholars' career trajectories andprofessional development. Specifically, it would be valuable to investigate whether involvementin research experiences correlates with an increased interest in pursuing research-orientedpositions, e.g., roles in academia, research laboratories, or advanced cybersecurity initiativeswithin government agencies.Further

AKonica Minolta Vivid 910 scanner (Figure 4a), a laser scanner, was used for the digitizationprocess. The camera had the ability to capture large free-form objects with a dimensionalaccuracy of 0.127 mm. Because of the geometric complexity of the bust, special attention had tobe paid to cavities and shiny surfaces. Since the scanner did not have the flexibility to reachhard-to-access details, the scanning process became more tedious than originally expected.

during the COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the need forflexible instructional strategies that accommodate remote settings without sacrificingeducational quality.In engineering curricula—particularly in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics courses—therehas been a longstanding reliance on laboratory-based, hands-on experimentation [17]. However,the recent shift to virtual simulations and digital resources has prompted questions about therelative efficacy of these modalities compared to traditional physical interactions [10, 14]. As in-person classes resumed, it became crucial to evaluate how these different instructional methodsimpact student engagement and learning outcomes [1, 5].The present study addresses this need by systematically examining
