benefits of emphasizing thebeneficial use of AI and other advanced technologies and to always have a focus on human-centered design. We believe that providing students with knowledge of advanced technologies,innovation models, and metrics and training them to develop and employ best practices inhuman-centered managerial decision-making are key requirements for a healthy, competitive, andsustainable work system.We observed that across all these courses, it was important to engage students in conversations,problem-solving and strategizing activities and to help them practice critical thinking skills about thefuture of work and innovation. This helped students become better prepared to discuss therequirements to adopt technologies, work methods, and

These tracks and certificates show in-depthknowledge about a specific topic, like digital transformation, ergonomics, and quality.University 4Infrastructure to promote hands-on learningThe university has a center that promotes hands-on learning and activities. In this center,students can build whatever they want for the subjects and the various university clubs. Thishands-on learning environment is very important for developing teamwork and criticalthinking. In addition, graduate students are assistants and give some practical classes toundergraduates. These graduate student professors manage to develop other skills, such ascommunication
overengineering of solutions that are so common in products, projects, orprocesses that are loaded with features that have little value to most consumers, we focused onfrugality in design thinking as a way of bringing products within the reach of a larger segment of thepopulation by focusing on the customer. Frugal Engineering can be defined as a process that reducesproduct/process/project complexity with a focus on customer need and affordability. Some universitieshave already seen the need for frugality, as in the Frugal Innovation Hub at Santa Clara University(https://www.scu.edu/engineering/labs--research/labs/frugal-innovation-hub/), and the Social E Lab atStanford University where complete projects as part of a program in Design for Extreme

Research has found that the most important writing tasks inthe workplace include emails [6] and business proposals [7]. In response to research findings andinput from faculty and industry partners, the Accreditation Board of Engineering andTechnology (ABET) criteria for student outcomes include “an ability to communicate effectivelywith a wide range of audiences” [8].When and how to teach writing in the engineering undergraduate curriculum has also been thefocus of education research. Scholars have documented how communication has been integratedin individual engineering courses and across the curriculum [9], [10]. Studies have also
Support Students’ Performance1. Introduction Project-based learning (PBL) coupled with design thinking has emerged as a transformative approachin education, particularly in disciplines like engineering and product design. This pedagogical modelencourages multidisciplinary collaboration among engineers and product designers, fostering creativity,innovation, and real-world problem-solving skills. However, the effectiveness of such collaborationshinges greatly on team dynamics and conflict resolution strategies. The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) into project-based learningenvironments presents a promising avenue for improving both the efficiency and effectiveness of teamcollaboration.
