itsparticipants. From the initial steps of understanding basic robot design to mastering complexprogramming challenges, students have evolved into adept problem solvers equipped with arobust set of technical and soft skills. PBL has been instrumental in ensuring that each challengeand project was not just another task but an opportunity for growth, reflection, and real-worldapplication. Reflecting on the impact of these eight years, the PBL structure within FLL and FTChas not only facilitated the acquisition of knowledge and skills but has also inspired a generationof learners to see beyond the confines of their immediate environment. Students have emerged asmore than just participants in a robotics program; they are young innovators, ready to

Virtual labsprovide a secure and controlled environment for students to engage in hands-on learningexperiences without the potential risks associated with traditional physical laboratories. Thisallows students to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them, fostering a sense ofexploration and curiosity. As stated in [8], “a virtual lab that allows students to actively join inand experience the whole experiment process better helps students master related knowledge andskills.”One key advantage of virtual labs is their accessibility from anywhere with an internetconnection. This flexibility is particularly valuable for students with scheduling constraints orlimited access to

They found that story creation enabled students to develop increasedfeelings of agency, entrepreneurial mindset, and autobiographical reasoning [7].While storytelling influences thoughts and behaviors, a given person’s story is told in the contextof not only their lived experiences but the overarching stories of their culture [21].

For instance, creating questions in the question bank of Canvas quizzes allowed fororganization of questions by chapter, as well as providing a master copy of the questions thatcould then be imported into individual assignments.With 100 students, it is not recommended to include more than two short answer questions onone warm-up assignment. The time required to analyze those responses, especially if ChatGPTcannot be used, was prohibitive. It is possible that ChatGPT, or another LLM

In the RARS environment, students perform taskslike determining file size, calculating total income from stocks, and identifying stocks with highest andlowest returns. Similar to the Paint lab, the main educational goal is mastering the RISC-V functioncalling convention and handling CSV data in memory. This approach links assembly with

Figure 1: GIKS student network feedback Rather than seeing a random force-generated network graph each time, the student’s termlocations align to the “Master” expert network map, thus the student views a network structure oftheir own essay for the first time laid out in a domain-normative way, where term closeness in 2-dimensional space reflects that of an expert. Clicking on a term in either network highlights thatterm along with its links and term associates in both networks. Dragging any term in eithernetwork moves the same term in the other network. These interactive features allow the studentsto explore the sometimes complex networks in a term-by-term way. Also, there are controlbuttons under the student’s network. (Fig. 1) If

However,over the next year, the diverging and evolving instructional concepts and methods werepurposely restructured into a series of courses along distinct tracks to advance the professionaland career objectives of Ph.D. and MS students. Students from different engineering disciplinesshared a standardized professional platform where they can learn, practice, and master goodcareer practices instead of seeking individual sources to gain proficiency.In an era of constant technological advancements, the future of engineering education lies inembracing good communication skills to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Producingwell-prepared graduates to tackle the challenges of the ever-evolving industry and researchaspects is an asset to the
doctoral and master students who are equipped with professional skills that gobeyond what is typically learned in textbooks, but universities often lack resources to trainstudents in these skills [3].Therefore, given these shifts in the career trajectories of graduate students and the lack oftraining related to professional skills within graduate education, new strategies for preparinggraduate students for their future careers are needed. Our project, Graduates AdvancingProfessional Skills (GAPS) program, sought to address this need. Funded by the NationalScience Foundation Innovation in Graduate Education (NSF-IGE), we developed projectmanagement training for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduatestudents.

For simplicity, we refer to both traditional IDEs and advancedcode editors as IDEs in this paper.However, not all IDEs are suitable for introductory-level programming courses, making theselection of an appropriate IDE challenging for instructors. Professional IDEs [11, 12, 39] offerintegrated programming environments and many powerful features, but they often lack supportfor educational purposes. Using them effectively may require advanced knowledge and asignificant time investment. For students new to programming, mastering these IDEs whilelearning a new programming language can be challenging, as they must spend considerable timeon software installation and
