Because self-regulation is an essential element in agentic behavior. In particular,the time management activities will also provide an opportunity for students to practice andadvance their self-regulation skills.ContextThe context of this study was a first-year engineering course at the University at Buffalo.

components inan electrical system. For instance, in a resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit, differentialequations are used to arrive at the steady-state solution, and multiple drawings of different statescan only be done at coarse-grained steps to illustrate the dynamics. Hands-on laboratories can aidin illustrating theoretical concepts by working with physical components and measuring tools(e.g., building small circuits and using oscilloscopes). However, these laboratories tend to becarried out in a subsequent semester after the students have finished with the theoreticalfoundations. There is a need to provide dynamic illustrations at a fine granularity to studentswhile theoretical concepts are discussed in the classroom (challenge #2).Based

However, manystudents struggle with basic mechanical components and fasteners, often failing to identifystandard parts on sight. This lack of foundational knowledge, in conjunction with suboptimalproject management habits, often results in over-reliance on adhesives. This is particularlyproblematic in situations where adhesives are used inappropriately—such as gluing gears toround shafts

Lab Simulations in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.The development of complex-shaped rigid or compliant/soft mechanisms in MATLAB Simulinkpresents significant challenges for undergraduate students. While some engineering programsincorporate MATLAB into introductory programming courses, some disciplines, such ascomputer engineering, robotics, and mechatronics, do not offer dedicated programming courses.Nevertheless, students are often assigned homework and laboratory exercises requiringMATLAB proficiency. As a result, by engaging with MATLAB across sophomore to senior-levelcourses, many students gradually develop competence.In mechanical engineering, students are introduced to programming during their freshman year.However, programming remains

In the lattercase, the applications and sample problems are too general or abstract, and chemical engineeringstudents tend to disengage more easily and lose motivation without the direct application ofstatistics to the profession. Chemical engineering students need robust training in statisticalanalysis related to risk assessment, process optimization, uncertainty quantification, datamodeling, experimental design, and hypothesis testing as an evidence-based and objectiveapproach to process design and understanding as highlighted in
