correlation towards engineering education.The Need for ExplorationThe usage of AI has picked up widespread popularity, causing an uproar in the tech industry in thepast decade. The need for exploration of AI in racing games stems from the potential challenges,development, and education implications associated with its integration [1]. Racing games andsimulators serve as a reliable learning environment for researchers to gather vast amounts of data.This data-driven approach can be used to optimize designs, algorithms, and frameworks that canrelate to the real world, aiding in the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and other AI-relatedprograms [10-13]. Racing games offer a controlled yet dynamic environment for refiningalgorithms. This simulation

However,ECE 301 has pre-requisite relationships to several later courses in the EE curriculum because thematerial in this course prepares students for more advanced topics. The breadth of the course andthe need to integrate many knowledge bases—including physics, geometry, calculus, andcircuits—can contribute to an inherently challenging experience. ECE 301 instructors share acommitment to wanting to support students through this course. Nonetheless, the course hasdeveloped a reputation among students as a “weed-out.” Engineering education researchers havedocumented how gateway courses can have negative effects on students’ perceptions of theirbelongingness and their ability to succeed within the

holistically formulate solutions [4].This multidisciplinary approach is particularly useful to solve the multidimensionalchallenges of our planet which requires an integration of curricula from the Arts andHumanities with STEM as opposed to a general curriculum. Scholars argue that the presentplanetary grand challenges cut across various dimensions of human experience—social,economic, environmental, political as well as moral [5]. For instance, the shift to a lesscarbon-dependent economy in the face of climate change is as much a technological problemas it is a socio-economic one since rapid, dependable, and affordable access to energy hasbeen ingrained in social life's routines and conventions.

Having an integrated curriculum could improvetheir motivation to pursue engineering, as demonstrated by Everett et al. [2], due to the emphasisplaced on intrinsic goals and task value. Furthermore, the growth of online learning platforms,especially because of distance learning due to the necessity of the COVID-19 pandemic, surveys,and performance identifiers in a flipped classroom, could be greatly beneficial in encouraginguniversity students to self-regulate their learning and generate ‘self-efficacy’ [8].Understanding the students' learning strategies could benefit

Acknowledging that this assumption is faulty has led us toexplore an anchored civil engineering curriculum in which these fundamental principles aresituated (or anchored) in a specific practical engineering context. The goal of this broaderinvestigation is to demonstrate that the process of anchoring will lead to better prepared bridgeengineers and may lead to a positive shift in attitudes about careers in bridge engineering.

In resolving ill-structured aspects present and emergent in the problem, studentsnecessarily participate in actions that constitute problem framing.Like the previous problem, resolving complexity is reflected in actions of decomposing the pedal-crank system into individual components that can be analyzed as part of the redesign process.Eventually, complexity is further resolved in synthesizing changes to individual components tounderstand the impact at the system level.
