Recent articlesaddress student-created podcasts for a diverse range of majors, including business,6 literature,7language-learning,8 information technology,9 and general engineering.10 The level of technicalassistance with the recording and editing aspects of the assignments varied greatly, from noassistance to dedicated class sessions and expert assistance. Podcasts were assigned as both teamand individual assignments. Most, but not all, podcast assignments required interviews. Overall,the student assessment of the assignments ranged from mixed to positive. The variety of

architectural and biomedical engineers. However,dynamics is a dreaded course for many students due to the difficulty of material, transitionalstage of their college career, and the relevance of the subject to their major1. Another issue thathas been observed is that the experiences taught in undergraduate dynamics are not genuine2. Atypical lecture course may not focus on the extension of in-class theories, examples, andidealizations to physical dynamic systems.To combat these issues, many authors have discussed the benefits of active, project-basedlearning over traditional, passive lecture courses3. We tried to create a stronger link between reallife problems and theory using motion capture technology. In a previous study, we used motioncapture

theopportunity to use live motion capture technology in the course, exposing students to a tool oftenused in motor learning, motor control and biomechanics research. Through utilizing motioncapture, kinesiology students were able to review real-time footage of juggling with the use ofretroreflective markers. Motion capture technology is heavily utilized in many different fields, such as sportsperformance, entertainment and computer-generated imagery, and even the security industry [1].Many educators have used motion capture to help teach engineering [8], biomechanics [4], andbiomedical engineering [2]. Through motion capture, students are able to watch real-time footageof experiments conducted in the lab. We arranged to have kinesiology students
Prepare Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympic Games?Curriculum. The three-week Program Curriculum started from macro-level down to micro-level, fromdrawing a big picture to gradually introduce various modern design tools. It started from a transportationsystem overview (day 1) to transportation planning (day 2), to transportation management (day 3), thento each transportation mode (day 4: water; day 5: air; day 6: railway). From day 7, we came back to focuson highway mode and then zoom in to each specific technical area: traffic safety (day 7), highwayconstruction and management (day 8, day 9), Building Information Modeling (BIM) (day 10). From Day 11to 14, we spent four days looking into the modern technologies offered by geospatial engineering
