absorbing advanced technologies, driving theneed for deeper collaboration with universities. As the trend of open innovation graduallyfrom enterprises to academia, research universities appear to face growing pressure toenhance industrial outreach as part of their third mission. This study examines howuniversities may engage in industrial outreach through open innovation laboratories, industry-university research centers, and joint R&D centers. Based on a multi-case analysis of sixinstitutions, with data collected through interviews and document analysis, the researchhighlights differences in organizational structures, motivations, and mechanisms. Openinnovation laboratories appear to leverage internal academic entrepreneurship

Python'sfoundation while operating several actuators and sensors. The testbench and controller weredesigned, built, and tested for use in a hands-on robotics course for sophomore engineeringstudents, which requires extensive prototyping of robotic mechanisms. In the laboratory sessionassociated with Python programming, the students learn how to operate and control different typesof DC motors, stepper motors, servo motors, and linear actuators. Then, the students use thetestbench to collect and export data using tracking and measurement sensors. The testbenchconsists of frames, a collection of motors and sensors. The controller was developed to operate sixDC motors, five servo motors, and four sensors. Incorporating this testbench and experiment

Students were exposed to various robotic platforms, includingmobile ground vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, robotic arms, and cobots as an introduction to thefield of robotics engineering. The course provided essential introductory skills and experiential learningopportunities through lectures, laboratories, and off-site learning visits. Project-based learning wasincorporated into course activities, with the following learning objectives: 1. Describe and interpret basic components of robotic systems. 2. Comprehend the working principles of different types of robots (ground, aerial, and manipulators) and demonstrate their applications. 3. Assemble, program and operate various automation

While generalcollege writing courses are crucial to their development as well-rounded, educated individuals,engineering students can struggle to see the connection between some Platonic concepts inclassical disciplines like Rhetoric and their audience focus for a proposal. While this connectionis likely obvious for an instructor in the Classics, it might not be obvious to engineering students.Pivoting toward more applied communication courses or content can help reinforce students’integrative understanding of engineering communication and their responsibilities for clarity,accuracy, and conciseness [16] - [17].

makerspace workshopsinto core curricula to reinforce interdisciplinary collaboration. Three key strategies emerge: 1. Reinforcement of Fundamental Concepts: Makerspace projects can complement science and engineering courses by providing tangible applications of theoretical principles. Constructivist learning theory [22] suggests that interactive, hands-on experiences enable students to break down complex threshold concepts [23] through experimental iteration. 2. Prototyping in Design Education: Integrating makerspace workshops into senior capstone and laboratory courses ensure that students have practical prototyping skills to support their design objectives. Early interdisciplinary exposure in makerspaces can also

]. These studies explore specific locations within higher education, such as laboratories[26],classrooms [27], disciplines [28], and administrative settings, offering insights into the livedexperiences and practices that define academic life. Certain concepts from the social sciences can help illuminate what convergence educationis and how it functions. One useful anthropological concept is liminality, which refers to atransitional or transformative state of being—an "in-between" phase where structures are loosened,identities are reconfigured, and new possibilities emerge. Liminality has been used to studyintermediary roles in higher education, such as students who navigate between peers andprofessors as they prepare for and move towards
