The hydraulic bike 3D model used for the module was originally designed by the Fluid Power Club at the School of Engineering Technology (SOET) in 2022 [27].The module includes two sessions: (1) Tutorial Session and (2) Manufacturing Lab, both ofwhich are collaborative and capable of connecting up to four users. The tutorial session isdesigned to familiarize users with the MR-shared environment, introducing the teams to variousinteractions and specific UI controls. It also provides an opportunity for users to understand andcoordinate with each other’s actions before moving to the main assembly tasks in themanufacturing lab

-analysis of scientific articles onthe use of AI in higher education into 10 pillars, one of which is AI ethics. With a very broadfocus, UNESCO also addressed this topic in 2022 [8] (further references can be found in [9]).One such ethical topic is the so-called “Patients Preference Predictor”. The choice of topicwas prompted by the fact that the author of this article was approached by a company that de-scribes itself on its homepage as follows: “As a leading open innovation incubator, we bringpeople, industries and organizations together across all borders to positively change the worldwith sustainable, future-oriented innovations.” The young company supports open innovationprojects and regularly publishes challenges for this purpose, among other

variousWVU professional and honors societies and student organizations.Over the five cohorts, 35% of the new scholars were recruited while they were still in highschool, which demonstrates the value of the ACCESS scholarship for recruiting talentedincoming freshmen. That led to achieving ACCESS project’s objective to increase the annualenrollment of students in B.S. and AoE in Cybersecurity (objective 1). Thus, since the start of theACCESS project, the enrollment has steadily increased from 50 students in spring 2020, to 69 in2021, 106 in 2022, 107 in 2023, and 111 in 2024. The spring 2025 enrollment of 184 students ismore than three times higher than the enrollment at the beginning of the ACCESS project in2020.The program has a very high retention
structurediscouraged uneven work distribution and promoted equitable participation.Improved Attendance Attendance in this class remained consistently high compared to many other sophomoreclasses in our department where faculty often reported students disappearing toward the end ofthe semester. In my opinion, the group dynamics of class family structure and a sense ofaccountability to peers, likely contributed to consistent attendance.I first implemented this approach in a sophomore class in 2022, and the results were striking.Outside of class, I observed these groups socializing in the department student lobby andforming strong peer connections. When I taught the capstone design course a couple years later,the students were allowed to form their own
original structure of LEGACY, scholars participated in a targetedhiring process within the College of Engineering that allowed them to be hired into AssistantProfessor positions within their home department. LEGACY supported scholars for two years inthe program, with the possibility of renewing for a third year before applying to facultypositions. One scholar from the inaugural cohort received multiple offers from BiomedicalEngineering departments and accepted an external offer after just one year in the program. As the remaining six scholars progressed in the program, Ohio State’s academic affairsoffice created a faculty hiring task force in October of 2022, charged with reviewing effectivefaculty hiring practices used within the
Education (IUSE) program, began in 2022 with an ambitious vision: tocreate a gamified curriculum for teaching hardware fundamentals through Field-ProgrammableGate Array (FPGA) platforms. As the project evolved, we expanded to include ArtificialIntelligence of Things (AIoT) applications, and most recently, we’ve sharpened our focus onintelligent embedded systems. Central to this initiative is our commitment to exposing first-yearengineering students to these cutting-edge technologies early in their education, helping themmake empowered career choices while ensuring the workforce is prepared to keep pace withaccelerating technological advancements.
