Transferableskills, including effective teamwork, communication (both written and verbal), problemsolving and leadership are typically gained via assessments such as group project work andpresentations.

thechallenges that are present during graduate training are common among graduate students. Thesesimilarities are more evident among graduate students that share certain backgrounds, and inparticular among members of minority groups. While much research has been devoted to theexperiences of gender and ethnic minorities [1]–[3], the experiences of English as SecondLanguage (ESL) students in graduate school has been poorly explored. The challenges of ESLstudents often interplay with those of gender and ethnic minorities because their identities areintersectional with such characteristics. Therefore, being an ESL student represents a dimensionthat would be valuable to explore in the context of graduate education.Supporting the development of graduate

Such approaches are often referred to as high impact pedagogies [1].The American Association of Colleges and Universities classifies service-learning as a “highimpact pedagogy” [2]. While the roots of service-learning, also called community engagedlearning, date back to the 1860’s with the Morrill Act and the 1920’s with the work of JohnDewey, curricular integration took root in the U.S. in the 1970’s. In the 1990’s there was asignificant increase in the adoption of the pedagogy within many disciplines in higher education[3, 4]. Research has shown that service-learning, can have benefits on student persistence [4-12],learning of core disciplinary knowledge and the broader skills needed in today’s

The results can guide the educators and education decision makersto adopt appropriate technologies especially robotics as pedagogical tools to enhance the teachingand learning outcomes and effectiveness. The limitations and future directions of the research arealso discussed.1. IntroductionBased on years of teaching experiences of undergraduate mechanical engineering courses, it isrealized that there are many mechanical engineering concepts that are fully or partly abstract innature. For example, torque, moment, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc. It is experienced that studentsusually feel difficulty to comprehend such concepts when they are taught such concepts intraditional classroom settings. The difficulty level becomes higher
