, computer engineering, psychology, and neuroscience. Due to the nature of the BCItopic, projects with hands-on experiences could be designed to facilitate practical, experientiallearning that will engage students and leave a lasting impact. Students will be exposed to cutting-edge technology and research areas through BCI courses which will ignite innovation andencourage them to contribute to the evolving field of neuro-engineering. Moreover, the nextgeneration of technologies will follow the user-centric design as there is more emphasis on humanneeds interacting with technology, so BCI courses will be aligned with modern engineeringpractices, which will open doors to diverse career opportunities in gaming, assistive technologies,healthcare

The next stage includes developing an information session for students that isinformed by the survey results and the literature. The information session aims to providestudents an understanding of how to utilize different types of feedback. Students will then beinterviewed a year later to determine if their perception and use of feedback has changed.IntroductionClassroom assessments extend beyond just collecting information about students’ learning.Instead, good practices of assessment in institutions of higher education aims to evaluate studentslearning and support improvement in learning.

This user-centereddesign approach is the main methodology that allows engineers to learn about users’ goals andneeds, with the aim of designing user-centered systems.The user-centered design process requires understanding users to the point of forming empathywith them and directing the design and evaluation process based on the users’ needs.Conventionally, in human factors courses, students are required to complete a course project inwhich they would be required to develop a problem statement, understand the

: The Effect of Summarizing a Research Article on Students’ Area of Robotics Interest1 BackgroundThe need for capable, ethical robotics engineers is growing with the industry valued at 32.32billion in 2021 with anticipated growth of 12.1% from 2022 to 2030 [1], and projected 17,900mechanical engineering job openings each year [2]. It is imperative that undergraduate andgraduate programs prepare engineers for industry positions in robotics, and that they includeand encourage diverse groups of students to enter the field.Additionally, diversity among engineers in general is limited, starting with bachelor’s andbeing further exacerbated when entering engineering professions. For example, 22% of engi-neering bachelor degrees in

Experiential learning is a broad category of hands-on learning techniques that are common both in classroom settings (labs and projects) and outsideof it (fieldwork and internships) [1]. Job shadowing has been studied in relation to variousoutcomes and has been found to positively impact knowledge transfer, student motivation,training, and more. The

AtXYZ University, ABC is an introductory design course where remote-controlled scale cars aredesigned, analyzed, built, and tested by groups of students. Each group was allocated a budgetwith which they can acquire all the necessary parts. The project was divided into three segments.First, the students construct custom powertrains that can be housed in a gearbox. Then, a steeringcomponent made up of a servo and a parallelogram linkage mechanism is designed and assembled.Finally, students manufacture a custom chassis that can accommodate and support the weight ofall the electronics (including sensors), the gearbox, and the

supported engines to choose from: Unity and Unreal Engine 4. These game enginesmust be configured for developing applications using the Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK), whichis an open-source resource that allows the game engine to interact with and build HoloLensapplications. These applications are designed using interactive environments, called scenes, inUnity. These scenes contain "Objects" that can take many forms, including but not limited to 3DModels, audio files, images, and video. The properties and interactions between these objects aremanipulated with the use of C# scripts. After a project is built in the game engine, it must beeither deployed directly to HoloLens or transferred to an application package for later installationusing Visual
initiative can tend towards zero. Intuitively one would think that resources wouldcontribute to exponential growth within an initiative. However, the Directors felt that no matterhow large the number of resources thrown at a project, without synergy there is little chance oftrue success. This is why it is part of the foundational factors in the model. Furthermore, theDirectors recognized the importance of acquiring monetary resources but were more focused onacquiring resources that could help fuel synergy. For example, one director was very focused onhaving time spent teaching in the interdisciplinary initiative count towards a faculty member’steaching load and service. This resource allocation would allow members to dedicate more timeand effort
