improving) in responding to our queries.2.2 Learning Objectives and Designing CoursesA Learning Outcome (LO) is an educational goal for a learner such that they can perform theoutcome once they have learned it. Typically, an LO is described at a level from Bloom’sTaxonomy [2] and applies the process to some content related to a field of study. Bloom’staxonomy provides a hierarchy of cognitive processes from “lower-order thinking skills”, such asrecall and classification, to “higher-order thinking skills” such as creating or planning.“Understanding by Design” [3] provides a design methodology for courses where the coursedesigner starts from LOs, determines how to assess if a student has achieved the LO, and designsclass activities around preparing

accreditation process for baccalaureate-levelprograms requires students to gain “an ability to function effectively on a team whose memberstogether provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals,plan tasks, and meet objectives” [11]. Thus, engineering students need to be exposed to anddevelop leadership skills during their undergraduate studies in engineering.To understand what leadership is in the context of engineering, we must recognize that there isno one universal definition of “leadership.” However, it is nearly impossible to come to thisconclusion as the definition of leadership can be dynamic depending on the context. Scholarsfrom fields such as communication, business, and organizational studies have

Thesesessions were scheduled after a semester of weekly challenges and guided workshops, ensuringthat participants arrived with a shared framework, an understanding of key concepts, andpreliminary ideas for improvement. We used tools such as rubrics to assess current efforts andidentify areas for growth, and held a half-day retreat which included a visioning board exerciseto collaboratively imagine the future of engineering education. This scaffolded approach evolvedover time and provided a deliberate progression from individual

ofthe course work. It is challenging to keep the student engagement rate as high as the start of thesemester, but the mixed clicker model was successful in lowering the drop rate for 80% of thesemester. The lack of sims for the topics that constituted the final 20% of the semester may haveresulted in a higher drop rate. Potentially this can change if more sims are utilized. Similar dropand rise trends for major semester events such as midterms and breaks were also observed, whichpoints out the necessity for planning for successful student engagement. It is also observed that,if there is no sim, the attendance trends are identical, however mixed questions seem to disruptthese patterns, attendance drops are slower and climbs are faster, always a

Real thing: labs should not be perceived as video games and students must carefully plan their experiments, otherwise virtual fuses will blow up and protection will be engaged. 3. Instant Reset & Repeatability: Mistakes can be reset, and tests can be re- peated under identical conditions for consistency. 4. Flexibility: students can change the configuration of the testbench by con- necting/disconnecting components to exhibit a given behavior 5.

Agile softwaredevelopment practices emerged in the early 2000s as a response to the limitations of traditional,linear design methodologies that dominated much of the 20th century [17]. Instead of creatinga comprehensive initial design, agile employs sequential iterations that continuously refine bothdesign and implementation. [18]. The principle of observing the state of the process, respondingto current needs, and modifying future plans to address current concerns, embodies the aspects ofagile being employed in this course.

One of the key motivations behind the development of the FORE platform is the needfor a flexible and scalable educational tool that can adapt to the varying needs of students.For beginners, the platform provides structured lessons that gradually introduce corerobotics concepts such as motion control, sensor integration, and path planning.
