makerspace workshopsinto core curricula to reinforce interdisciplinary collaboration. Three key strategies emerge: 1. Reinforcement of Fundamental Concepts: Makerspace projects can complement science and engineering courses by providing tangible applications of theoretical principles. Constructivist learning theory [22] suggests that interactive, hands-on experiences enable students to break down complex threshold concepts [23] through experimental iteration. 2. Prototyping in Design Education: Integrating makerspace workshops into senior capstone and laboratory courses ensure that students have practical prototyping skills to support their design objectives. Early interdisciplinary exposure in makerspaces can also

We evaluate the effectiveness of this methodthrough a series of case studies and provide guidelines for instructors to leverage these technologiesin their courses.1 IntroductionLarge Language Models (LLMs) and their emerging skills provide educators with new capabilitiesto improve our teaching and save time. LLMs like ChatGPT have emerged as powerful tools thatcan assist in creating educational content and interactive learning experiences [1].For digital system design and computer architecture, traditional education often relies on expen-sive hardware, specialized software, and physical laboratory spaces. These requirements can limitaccess to hands-on learning experiences, particularly for students in

evaluation of students’ performances that relate tospecific SOs. Evaluations of exams, laboratory reports, or project deliverables that are designedto address specific SOs link directly to numerical evaluation of those SOs.Indirect assessments provide insights into perceptions of learning and program effectiveness,which may be particularly valuable if gathered from third parties, such as internship mentors.However, the sources of indirect assessments are not usually designed for SO assessment. Forthese resources to be effective assessment tools, their composition must be evaluated and, wherepossible, their content must be mapped to specific SOs. Using both direct and indirectassessments as part of an ABET evaluation process improves program

wasoriginally meant to be a laboratory, but a collaborative effort between the Deans of Engineeringand the Libraries led to the transition. No books are held on site; instead, the space is used as astudent study area, with different sections of the library for individual and group study.[3]At Cornell University, the Engineering Library completed a move to a fully bookless format in2011. The transition came after budget cuts necessitated a consolidation of several subjectlibraries. The entire engineering print collection, including course reserves and reference books,was moved to the main library. All planning was done internally, with the renewed space nowfocused on electronic collections and providing more study areas for students to use.[4]In a two

Key topics include stress andstrain analysis, axial loading, torsion, shear and bending stresses, deflection of beams, combinedloading, stress transformation, and failure criteria.Two of the key fundamental concepts that students are introduced to in this course are UltimateTensile Strength (UTS) and the angle of twist, which play crucial roles in understanding howmaterials respond to forces. UTS, for instance, represents the maximum stress a material canendure before it breaks, providing valuable information about the material’s strength andreliability under tension.

the first and second years of undergraduate study. Introducing simulation early in the curriculum provides the benefit of enhancing students' understanding of fundamental physical concepts. Visualizing phenomena such as fluid flow, stress distribution in a beam, or the electric field distribution in a circuit reinforces theoretical instruction and broadens the scope of experiments that can be explored in the laboratory. Furthermore, incorporating simulation into the curriculum early on allows students to develop these skills over the entire duration of their academic careers, rather than only in their final year, as is often the case.• Project management: Each successful proposal is considered a ‘project.’ A
