represent an abstract mathematical model of reality in terms of vectors; enabling them todevelop analytical representations and make informed decisions based on predicted outcomes. The 2D space is often easy to represent and can be plotted using cartesian coordinate axeson paper/PowerPoint/chalkboard. This approach has been utilized repeatedly in classesthroughout the curriculum. The resultant skewing of the image is natural, we can quickly adjustto these effects by observing the rectangular shape of the paper/screen which aids us while tryingto interpret the graph. On the other hand, the representation of 3D space is limited because it istypically drawn on a 2D surface with implication of a 3rd axis projected into and out of the board.The

The time is now formaritime educational institutions to adapt accordingly to maintain relevance and continuegraduating in-demand maritime professionals.In this paper, we present an undergraduate maritime-focused course in ML. The main componentof our course, and the major contribution of this paper, is our design of several maritime-specificmini coding projects for addressing course learning objectives and ABET criteria, as well asengaging students. The following three components comprise the programming environment ofeach mini project:• Colab: A product of Google that allows users to write and execute Python code through the browser, integrating it

With an emphasis on smart and connected cities, the SCR2 programprovides summer research experiences (eight weeks for students and six weeks for teachers).This paper presents our learnings and insights of the program for the past four years withevaluation findings. There have been 116 students and 44 teachers who have successfullyparticipated. The research program was conducted on campus in 2019, but due to COVID-19, theprogram was conducted online in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, the program was redesigned to behybrid, and six host sites participated. Despite the changes in the program, students' prowess wasenhanced by their teamwork and engagement in the projects. The post-program survey raisedconcerns about

faculty with varyingacademic backgrounds and specialties made the project an exercise in interdisciplinary education.Interdisciplinary education is the integration of multiple academic disciplines, often throughprojects. Experts believe that this method of educating students nurtures problem-solving skillsand develops complex perspectives, preparing students to succeed in the modern world [10]. Webelieve that the interdisciplinary nature of the project team made it more effective in achieving itsgoals and significantly benefitted the students’ educational experience.The survey consisted of four open-ended questions to allow students to provide feedback fromtheir experiences.

This approach enforces one of the basic rules in professionalpractice, which is working with teams that the students do not choose.Concepts of engineering project management that students learn in their curriculum areincorporated into the senior project course by integrating the time, scope, and cost dimensions ofa project in the process of development.A team usually consists of 2-4 students, with 3-5 projects in each class.

mechanics course,Capstone includes an entire module in DC motor, stepper motor, and servo motor control. Thismodule provides students the hands-on skill set needed to create functional mechanicalengineering prototypes that move as they do not learn it elsewhere in the curriculum. Interestingly, students report enhanced course enjoyment fostered by the opportunity tolearn new skills. So, it is positive that they do learn these skills somewhere in the curriculum andthrough hands-on application in Capstone rather than a pure theory-based exposure. It is, however,worrisome that they are having these experiences for the first time in Capstone rather than learningin a prerequisite course, bringing those skills into Capstone, and using the

Additionally, the departmental review allows faculty members to collaborate, allowing them to share their expertise and contribute to the development of a high-quality microcredential.(b). College Review: College review is critical to ensure that the college can commit to the necessary resources and requirements needed for the microcredential course. This includes allocating funding for course development, instructor compensation, and ongoing support for the course. The review also provides an opportunity for collaboration among departments and cross-disciplinary input, allowing for a more well
rateamong engineering graduates in western countries is almost 13% [4], and a staggering62.3% and 42.8% among Fine art and Design graduates respectively [5]. These numbersdo not just disincentivise students from pursuing their desired majors and their passionsbut also suggest a need for an immediate change to improve disciplinary education, ifnot completely returning to an integrative multidisciplinary approach.The vitality of multidisciplinary education is therefore evident. However, the approachtowards this collaborative education is just as important. The way a topic is introducedto a student and the way that topic is applied varies highly with respect to the type ofeducational model being followed. Project based learning, for example gives
