Additionalintegration of FWV occurred in homework 3 about the design process (the Floating City was themost popular scenario), homework 8 on data science, and homework 9 on creativity andinnovation (again, as an option among multiple choices). The final culminating essay assignmentincluded a prompt that mentioned FWV, although students were not required to discuss FWV.There were 32% of the students that discussed FWV as something that inspired them about civilengineering, and another 23% discussed FWV more generally. The results indicate that FWVmay be effective in stimulating student interest in civil engineering, and can be integrated insimple ways that do not require major changes within a course.IntroductionCivil engineers play an

Carpenter and colleagues1 found thatover 96% of engineering students admitted having cheated or performed unethical behaviors intheir studies. Such high rate serves as a warning to educators and presents the urgent need toenhance engineering students’ academic integrity and reduce their cheating behaviors.

Students become less critical whenit comes to thinking through complex problems because they are not encouraged to do so underthis pedagogical framework. Although many institutes still use the traditional approach, manyothers explore and integrate other pedagogies into their curriculums. Institutes recognize thetechnological change and complexity of the contemporary industry 4.0 paradigm requires a highlyskilled and well-rounded generation of professionals [14].

, engineers face ongoing challenges to produce complexengineering systems with a high-level of performance, reliability, value and price. The ability ofengineers to persevere in this highly competitive atmosphere hinges on their ability to integrate anumber of technologies. Mechatronics provides the answer to this challenge and serve to bestaccomplish this integration from the earliest stages of the design process. As entrepreneurialventures play important role in economic growth in the era of globalization, mechanicalengineers equipped with skills in mechatronics and embedded systems are more likely to engagein such ventures.
