AtBinghamton University, only about 26% of undergraduate engineering students identify aswomen, highlighting the need for this research.In a 2020 article in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning, Al Mulhimet al. extensively explored how group size directly impacts student success in projects and finalgrades. The study compared large groups (7-8 people) and smaller groups (3-4 people), findingthat students generally perceived larger groups more positively and tended to perform better.However, the paper emphasizes that other underlying factors contribute to the success

University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX Copyright 2025, American Society for Engineering Education 2 IntroductionBackgroundThe integration of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) inmodern warfare has transformed how missions are planned and executed. Recent conflicts ofthe Second Nagorno-Karabakh War1 and the Ukraine-Russia War2 highlighted the critical rolethese technologies play in surveillance, reconnaissance, and tactical operations. Also, theseconflicts highlight the need to enhance current military CPS technologies in UAVs, asadversaries adopt strategies that are more sophisticated.The U.S

These include increasedinstructor workload and technological issues. Significant time requirements are required forinstructors to review pre-class assignments and adjust lessons plans with limited time [10]. Theincreasing use of learning management systems (LMS) enhances evaluation and turnaround time.However, technical issues (i.e., incorporating images, videos, audio, and interactive elements)and student access must be considered.
