the utilization of hands-on pedagogy as a means toenhance peer learning collaboration and curiosity among chemistry undergraduate students. Theresearch seeks to instill confidence and competence in students' grasp of fundamental chemicalprinciples, collaborative skills, and problem-solving abilities, while also nurturing their curiositythrough the integration of active learning techniques, laboratory experiments, and interactiveteaching methodologies. The study discusses an examination of the impact of hands-onpedagogy on students' peer learning collaboration and curiosity. The study was carried outamong undergraduate students taking foundations in chemistry, which includes engineering andother STEM majors. The study adopted a pre-post-test
-lish laboratories and curricula that are not only in sync with current industry requirements butare also adaptive enough to accommodate future advancements.Adoption and implementation of the presented tools will ensure that the next generation ofSTEM workers displays a blend of technical skills, soft skills, and digital capabilities neededdue to rapid technological advancements and constantly changing work environments of thesemiconductor industry.INTRODUCTIONThe teaching-learning landscape has undergone swift changes, spurred by the pandemic, lead-ing to the rise of virtual learning, new semiconductor global initiatives, and the advent of Indus-try 5.0.

He also serves as Director of the Engineering Visualization Research Laboratory (EVRL). Under his direction, EVRL has acquired and conducted research, in excess of $12M, funded from the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Army Research Laboratory, NASA and Department of Homeland Security along with other funding from Purdue University’s Visual Analytics for Command, Control, and

At Bell Laboratories Dr. Thompson created with the Vice President of Research and Nobel laureate, Arno Penizas, the W. Lincoln Hawkins Mentoring Excellence Award (1994). This award is given to a member of the research staff for fostering the career growth of Bell Labs students and associates. This award is ResearchAˆ¨ os highest honor for mentoring contributions. In 1998, AT&T Labs instituted a similar award named for Dr. Thompson. Charles Thompson is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Director of the Center
-Based Learning (RBL)” throughout the entirety of a four-year course.This is in contrast to the conventional model, which is well known for including RBL solelyin the final year of the graduation thesis project (see figure 1 below). The program begins tointroduce students to laboratory research from their first year, while providing an environment that enables them to pursue cutting-edge research, doing so directly underthe guidance of a supervisor, advisers, and graduate students. To ensure students gain the deep understanding needed for advanced research whileengaged in RBL, they will also study foundational natural science courses, requiredspecialized subjects, and other disciplines. We also encourage students to take Liberal
digital infrastructure,synchronous CSCL-scenarios eliminate spatial distance between collaborators [9]. This allows toestablish joint courses between departments or universities or to involve lecturers or experts fromindustry, regardless of their location while reducing travel expense to a minimum [9]. Similarly,this approach expands the application of modern methods for distance learning in engineering,such as remote laboratories [9].According Theory of Media Synchronicity (TMS) [10], the key to effective use of media (rangingfrom FTF to various ICT) is to match its capabilities to the group task to be executed. For this,TMS distinguishes capabilities of a specific media with the five factors (1) immediacy offeedback, (2) parallelism, (3) symbol

The data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics, multiple comparisons tests, Spearman correlation, and linear regressionmodels.ResultsSelf-efficacy in higher education

professor access to students of anymajor on campus and the students can stay with the VIP team for multiple semesters. VIP teamstypically have 10 to 20 students. The Electronic ARTrium VIP team is co-instructed by Prof.Weitnauer and Dr. Thomas Martin, Chief Scientist of the Electro-optics Systems Laboratory atthe Georgia Tech Research Institute. Enrollments in the Electronic ARTrium team since itsinception to the time of this writing have been 22, 15, 21, and 24, for Fall 2021, Spring 2022,Fall 2022, and Spring 2023. Many if not all the computer science (CS) students on the VIP teamwere using VIP to satisfy their junior capstone design requirement, but this is transparent to theVIP instructors. Engineering students also have the option to use VIP
