IntroductionResearch shows that cognitive functions are crucial components of mental processes and play acrucial role in our ability to perform a variety of tasks (e.g., [1], [2], [3]). In computer-aided design,cognitive functions such as perception, retention, visuospatial skills, etc. are relevant to using 2Ddrawings and 3D models in virtual reality (VR) environments. For example, the student mustrecognize and interpret a three-dimensional model from its orthogonal two-dimensionalrepresentations on a blueprint. Additionally, they must be able to store and recall information,which is essential in remembering prominent features of designs [4], which, in return, developsthe ability to recognize objects and identify their features based on visual information

-progress paper focuses onhow a learning experience in augmented reality can help students gain the required skills neededfor industry.To date, academia has tried to help students develop strong technical skills by incorporatingdifferent analytical and problem-solving skills into the curriculum. As a result, academia hasintroduced different learning techniques to better prepare students for work after graduation. Onesuch technique is authentic learning with the use of augmented reality. Augmented reality (AR)is a technology that blends computer-generated elements with live video in real-time [1]. Virtual(computer-generated) objects appear to coexist in the same space as the real world are producedby the AR system. While many academics go beyond

learning. AI is proving to be an effective tool for educators teaching anywhere from K-12 [1] or in sec-ondary education [2] to enhance teaching and provide students with personalized learning experi-ences. State-of-the-art AI technologies have been able to analyze vast amounts of data to identifypatterns, adapt to student needs, and provide real-time feedback with little up-front implementa-tion costs. As such, it has been shown that this tailored instruction and support to each studentcan improve their learning outcomes [3], [4]. Moreover, AI has been used to automate routinetasks such as grading, assessment, and administrative duties, freeing up educators’ time to focuson higher-level tasks. In this way, AI has been the catalyst in a

Overall, participants suggested that VR may be mostvaluable as a complementary tool to other training formats.1. IntroductionObservation is an essential method used during human-focused engineering design approaches.Observations allow engineering designers to collect rich data on design problem environments andstakeholder behaviors in ways that are not always possible with other methods, as well as allow for thetriangulation of data across methods [1]. Multiple tools and strategies exist to support quality data tobe gained from observations. However, support for the development of skills necessary for effectivedesign-focused

We framed our research by embracingChickering and Reisser's [1] seven-vector student development model. The model aligns wellwith our focus on students working in teams, developing a sense of belonging, increasing theirconfidence for learning, and gaining a professional identity. The seven vectors are developingprofessional relationships, enhancing personal competence, monitoring emotions, gaining apersonal identity, internalizing a sense of purpose, realizing personal interdependence

By social realm, we mean to evoke the waysengineering shapes, and is shaped by, social, cultural, political, and ethical systems, that informwho gets to participate in engineering, how and why engineering problems are perceived andundertaken, the results of engineering work, and who benefits from the outcomes of engineeringwork [1,3].

classroom-level connections to ABET outcomes, develop assessment tools,and create organizational changes.IntroductionHuman-centered design (HCD) [1] has been an important player in the future direction ofengineering education. HCD offers a promising approach to promote situated learning inengineering design projects, and to facilitate students’ learning of modern engineering skills [2].In our work with engineering faculty and students, we observed a disconnect betweenengineering sciences, especially those taught in the middle years of a program, and the open-ended design problems that learners must address in the workplace. For example, students maybe well-prepared to compute the deflection of a beam and even redesign its cross section tooptimize

One goal is to enhance"Student design/build project experiences in the degree program" [1]. However, this goalchallenges educators as they strive to implement it effectively.Implementing the goal poses a challenge for educators as it leaves many decisions to be made,which should only be done with consideration for the students.

Gamification is a new tool in making the studentenvironment more effective and dynamic than the traditional classroom model [4]. Gamificationis a natural application of experiential learning, wherein students learn by doing i.e. being activelyengaged in material with tasks, problems, or projects. Trivial examples of gamification to enhancelearning include those of educational games or in self-teaching tools such as Khan Academy orClasscraft.

design courses are typically project-based, where students work inteams to address a “customer-provided” problem and develop real working solutions. This typeof project-based learning requires that students synthesize knowledge and apply skills to anopen-ended design problem. The open-ended nature of “customer-provided” problems thatstudents encounter in capstone design courses contrasts with the structured and constrained“instructor-provided” problems seen in their earlier coursework [1], [2]. Solving complex,unstructured problems is an essential skill for a working engineer, but it requires a differentskillset than that which is needed to solve the standard textbook problems typically seen inclassrooms [2]–[6].

DevelopmentAbstractTraditional proprietary textbooks for undergraduate students often cost hundreds of dollars andcreate barriers to learning by restricting which and how many courses students take and forcingstudents to decide whether or not they purchase their textbooks [1], [2]. Having low-cost or freealternatives for course textbooks helps give all students access to learning materials and canlower barriers such as affordability and retention [3], [4]. Such alternatives to traditionaltextbooks are considered Open Educational Resources (OER). OER can be comparable in qualityto traditional textbooks [5]. Given the proper context, they have been shown to lower the numberof D, F, and Withdrawal letter grades, or DFW rates, in classrooms [3]. This evidence, showingthe

While many frameworks and systems exist tosupport engineering faculty as they (re)design their courses, design thinking has emerged as oneviable framework due to its human-centered, creative, diverse, and adaptive nature [1-5]. Still,studies show that certain mindsets and approaches essential to design thinking may bechallenging for faculty, especially those in engineering [6].
