Brodersen also explored students’preferences for instructional modes in an introductory computing course and discovered theyprefer laboratory over lecture and consider laboratory settings useful especially when learningmore challenging themes [14]. In this project, we will compare the attitudes and self-efficacytoward programming of mechanical and industrial engineering students and analyze how thecurricula of the two streams prepare students for programming mentally and emotionally. Theresearch questions are: (1) How do differences in mechanical and industrial engineering curriculaimpact students’ attitudes and self-efficacy toward programming? (2) How do the computing labactivities affect the students’ attitudes and self-efficacy toward

This living laboratory not only provides valuable learning experiences for constructionmanagement students but also serves as an attractive marketing point. Eventually, the campus canaspire to become a net-zero facility, enhancing the learning and working experiences for occupantswhile empowering students to carry firsthand sustainable practices into society, therebycontributing to a more sustainable future.

Given this issue, this work aims to examine the students' spatialvisualization skills development using state-of-the-art Mixed Reality (MR) technology. The goalis to utilize the features and functionalities of MR to design and implement an interactive MRmodule that allows for developing engineering students’ spatial visualization skills, integrate themodule into Fluid Power laboratories, and conduct a research study to test and examine thedevelopment of the

To encourage student engagement with engineering technical contentin a realistic manner, a set of laboratories is in development for a sequence of two coursescovering statics, solid mechanics, and material properties. These courses are part of a non-disciplinary engineering program and start second semester sophomore year and continuethrough first semester junior year. The labs are inquiry-based and meant to be completed in oneto two 100-minute lab periods, providing students with multiple distinct problems to addressthroughout the courses.The labs are motivated by design briefs providing a real-world problem.

. IntroductionEngineering education faces the continuous challenge of incorporating the latestresearch findings into its curriculum to ensure graduates are well-equipped totackle current and future technological challenges. Traditional methods ofcurriculum development often struggle to keep pace with the rapid advancementof technology and emerging research areas [1, 2]. Current approaches tointegrating research into engineering education primarily involve the introductionof elective courses, predetermined laboratory classes, or the occasional inclusionof term papers from existing courses. However, these methods have limitations,including insufficient coverage of new technologies and the lag in updating coursecontent to reflect the latest research developments

This transition to online course development andteaching without adequate training brought challenges to instructors as well as students (1 – 5).Much of the focus during Covid-19 was to convert in-person lectures to online zoom format(synchronous), since it was much faster to adopt. However, there were many instances, such asfor laboratory classes, zoom format was inadequate. In such situations, the courses were offeredin a hybrid format with limited in-person laboratory sessions. Currently, emergency onlineinstruction is not the norm anymore since the Covid-19 restrictions have eased. While there
