feedback that provides the students with further contextabout how the presentation was received by each of the evaluators.Grading for Growth MindsetMuch of the messaging around professionalism grading focuses on an idea of growth andcontinuous improvement. By framing a ‘3’ as “student engineer”, a ‘4’ as “engineering intern”,and a ‘5’ as “professional engineer”, students recognize that they are able (and expected) to growand improve throughout their educational and professional career. In some cases, expectationsare clear and measurable (e.g. turning things in on time, communicating absences ahead of time).In other cases, professionalism is subjective to the evaluator and context. The IRE 5-Point scalecreates pathways for both of these types of

thecourse include the deployment of the same robotic platforms both in simulation and physicalinstances.This course is targeted towards students who want to gain a basic understanding of technologiesused within robotic systems, namely autonomous mobile robots and robotic arms. Uponcompletion of this course, students should be sufficiently versed in robotics to support career rolesin a broad range of industries related to robotics. The course provides an introductory foundationthat should support further in-depth study of fundamental robotics technologies.Assessment methods Given the aforementioned circumstances that combined into thedevelopment of this graduate-level course, several assessment methods were considered topromote student engagement

project-based methodology, creates a model that can be replicated at other institutions beyond UW and SIT. This can expand opportunities for students globally, enabling them to engage with cutting-edge robotics education and gain skills necessary for future careers in robotics. 6. Boosting Innovation in Robotics: Exposure to cutting-edge robotics research, including the use of ROS 2, Turtlebot3 robots, and multimodal sensors, places students at the forefront of technological innovation. The course encouraged creativity and innovation as students work together to develop solutions that are user-centered and applicable to real-world challenges. 7. Contributing to Global Robotics Leadership: By equipping students

by AI has made AI literacy a crucial competency forindividual development, turning its cultivation into a “human issue [3].” This need isparticularly urgent for higher education students [4], as industries worldwide require top talentswith AI literacy to drive the intelligent transformation of business processes and products,while making trustworthy and ethical decisions [5]. In response, students are calling for AIliteracy to be integrated into their higher education curricula to better prepare for the challengesof the intelligent era and future careers. For instance, a survey on the use of generative AIamong undergraduates [6], found that students most commonly recommended offering relevantcourses and lectures, with a particular focus on

field of systemsengineering and young students interested in pursuing a career in engineering.The need for human resources in the industry with STEM education and practical experience hasexponentially increased over the past few decades. Multiple studies have explored the scope andbenefits of incorporating interactions with robotic platforms as a part of the K-12 curriculum [24,25, 26, 27]. Jdeed M. et al. [28] conducted a study where a swarm robotic platform Spiderinowas utilized in classroom training format for K-12 education. It displayed enhanced interest andappreciation expressed by the students towards application-based learning in STEM. Wilson S. etal.

why we consider ourselvesdesigners. We also explore the impacts of poor design and consider how to affect change andimplement better solutions. What role does design play in the places we inhabit and the world webuild? What does that mean for one’s life, education, and career? We parlay this topic into afocus during the second week on interconnected systems, asking the students: “How Connected 10Are You?” As a class, we explore system theories and our own interconnectedness as humans,communities, and ecosystems. Students explore the people, communities, and ecosystemsconnected to their lives through an in-class activity in which they create a life map
