We relate anecdotalsuccess in using the tool for such engagements and context for student involvement as part of anobject-oriented and agile software engineering project.1. IntroductionDigital logic instruction is typically a core component of Computer Science (CS), ElectricalEngineering (EE), and Computer Engineering (CpE) curricula. Most often, students are exposedto digital logic concepts early in their programs as a foundational steppingstone. CS students donot typically explore digital logic concepts further during their programs except as backgroundknowledge for courses like Computer Architecture or

Role-playIn order to investigate the effect of AR on the communication and interaction in acollaborative setting in higher education, a role-play was developed and implemented into anexemplary lecture on Agile Management in Technology and Organisation at the RWTHAachen University.

This research will identify the school’s administrators as theacademic control objective and will be referred to as the "Operator". This paper focuses on theagent system by building a dashboard tool that collects each individual student’s informationregarding their progress through the curriculum in a program, and then generates advisingrecommendations. The agent logic employs principles used in project management toolsdesigned for resource of schedule optimization. The tool helps students optimize their resourcesto complete their degree sooner.

Currently, he is researching innovative for giving feedback to students as they work on assignments to provide a more welcoming experience for students, recognizing the effort they put in and the accomplish- ments they make as they work on solutions, rather than simply looking at whether the student has finished what is required.

From this procedure, design procedures for unified notation lead,proportional-integral (PI), proportional-integral–derivative (PID), and PI-lead compensator weredeveloped. With this proposed approach, students can concentrate on the larger control systemdesign issues, such as compensator selection and closed-loop performance, rather than theintricacies of a particular design procedure.Once students learn the unified design process discussed above, it is important that they get anopportunity to apply it to design and laboratory projects. Most real life examples require designiterations. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed in this paper not only makes thisfeasible, but also makes this an excellent
