The datacollection of this study was conducted in the 2021-2022 academic school year, consisting ofthree measures: interviews, surveys, and observations. Differentiated interviews were conductedwith both professors and students in the Engineering School including questions regarding classand lab experience, curiosity, uncertainty, and motivation. Observations were conducted in boththe class and laboratory settings, with observation notes focused on curiosity and uncertaintypromotion and suppression. This paper analyzes data from the student interviews from fall 2021.All authors developed the interview, survey, and observations measures

The traditional approach to teaching data communications consists of lecturescovering theoretical information and mathematical basis, and of laboratory sessions where studentscan understand better the communication process and how to program a communications protocol.It is very crucial to keep up in classrooms with today's industry requirements for graduates in termsof both

We didalso learn from students sometime. For instance, in the laboratory section of the Probability andStatistics with Application to Computing class, after suggesting the correct theoretical result,some students could write a more efficient Python code in compare with our code to simulate theassigned question. Hence, it is a bidirectional connection between us and students, and betweenstudent to student, rather than a one directional dissemination of knowledge through us as theinstructors.The participation of us, as the instructors, and students in the learning process not only
