in interactive activities that apply quality engineeringprinciples, the program ensures they not only understand these concepts but can also effectivelyapply them. The curriculum's emphasis on Statistical Process Control, Lean Six Sigma, andadvanced quality tools equips students with the knowledge and tools necessary to drive qualityexcellence. This intensive, hands-on approach serves as a launchpad for their careers as qualityexperts.The primary objective of the Quality Engineering Boot Camp is to empower participants with theknowledge, skills, and confidence to excel as quality engineers in today's rapidly evolvingindustrial landscape. To achieve this overarching goal, the curriculum objectives aremeticulously designed to gain competence

about the research project from the expertise of community members,while community members develop skills in conducting research (Israel et al., 1998). Studentswho are integral to the research team also derive benefits from engaging in community-basedprojects. This involvement enhances their awareness of community issues, fosters communitycollaborations, and refines their research skills and methods (Dunbar et al., 2013). Despite thesebenefits, CBR also presents challenges, such as ethical dilemmas between community desireswith respect to research design and methods and outsider researchers scientific rigor (Minkler,2005). Additionally, early career researchers engaging in CBR face challenges due to competingdemands on their time and resources
faculty and students. There is, therefore, a need for more research to expand the literature oncurriculum interventions that promote a holistic approach that fosters curiosity, creativity,problem-solving, and faculty buy-in.In this study, we provide an interdisciplinary approach to Computer Aided Design and Modelingcurriculum that integrates an entrepreneurial mindset, bio-inspired design, and STEAM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) to provide real-world experiential learning tobetter prepare engineering students for entering the workforce. Such learning experiences willensure that students develop employability skills, a lack of which could lead to graduates missingout on rewarding careers [4]. The proposed solution will
technology in Lean Systems Engineering Technologycourses at the University of Kentucky as a means to facilitate student learning of continuousimprovement applications within manufacturing. The application of continuous improvementtechniques is a core competency for engineering students interested in a career in manufacturing.Employers place a high value on these skills with the aim of optimizing product quality andprocess efficiency in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace. In this paper, theauthors will discuss the design, implementation, and student feedback of a VR-based educationalmodule developed to immerse engineering students in a virtual manufacturing environment. Inthis VR environment, students will engage in hands-on

instructions on how to work in a team, it is important to helpthem learn more about themselves and explore their strengths and capabilities. To help them acquire thisinsight, students are given instructions to complete two tests: the Jung Personality Test and the Team RoleTest. Jung’s psychological typology was first published in 1923 [48], and since then several tests havebeen developed and used by human resources, career coaching, organizational development [49]. It hasalso been used in higher education as a basis for learning styles and also to shed the light on individualdifferences [48]. Jung’s typology is best known for the concepts of extroversion and introversion [50],and sensation -intuition and thinking-feeling. The test result is
