The study aims to supplement traditional teaching techniqueswith an entrepreneurial and multidisciplinary-minded project that helps students reinforce skillsthat are relevant for the globally connected world. The results indicate that the interventionsuccessfully motivated students to develop their communication and collaboration skills. Thefindings of this study showcase the effectiveness of entrepreneurially minded andcommunication-focused projects that engineering instructors should consider integrating intomid-level discipline specific engineering coursework.1.

Holding weekly meetings and reports had shown the continuousstudent engagement. Importance of peer evaluation was stressed throughout the semester. A self-assessment survey was conducted among the students to identify the progress made throughproject-based learning. This survey results showed that the implementation of project-basedlearning exhibited a significant improvement in the amount of progress made in each learningobjective. This research has shown that the project-based learning mechanism has not onlyimproved technical and communication skills, but also team

For example, the topic of Additive Manufacturing, whichconstituted only two percent of the retrieved manufacturing-related activities has beenpopular among K-12 educators for at least a decade, at the emergence of three-dimensional (3D) printing era [10]. Such printers became a necessity in makerspaces andas one of the first I4.0-related activities in K-12 settings. Some authors are now trying tolink makerspaces to the advancement of manufacturing in I4.0 settings [12].Another discovery is the discipline orientation of the authors who write about both STEMeducation

development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills[11], the opportunity to work with like-minded peers and mentors [8], and the chance to learnabout careers in STEM fields [10]. In this article, the authors review the literature on high schoolSTEM hands-on summer camps and discuss their potential impact on student learning and careerdevelopment. Also, the paper outlines the hands-on activities of the summer camp hosted oncampus in the summer of 2022 and their impact on participant students.BackgroundAccording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2021, there were approximately 10 millionworkers in STEM fields. This number is expected to increase by 11% by 2031—a growth rate thatis more than twice as fast as all other occupations

The most common use is for understanding complex concepts, chosen by 14students, followed by 13 students using AI for research and information gathering. This suggestsa trend towards utilizing AI as a learning and discovery tool, like a search engine. While severalstudents also reported using AI to enhance writing quality and generate project

In a recent study [17], a learningcommunity was built along with a summer immersion program, a peer mentoring program, and afirst-year experience course. The summer immersion program linked science and social justiceissues with hands-on activities and built a sense of belonging. The results showed increasedsuccess in the first year and those that participated were more likely to graduate. The study notedthat this type of community may not be appropriate for commuter populations if studentintegration cannot be balanced with maintaining connections to their home communities.Overall
