the problems are solvedby the instructor to assist their own attempt at similar homework problems. It is also possible thatstudents review the example videos that are directly connected to the upcoming exams. In Figure2(b) for Nano, there is a gradual decrease in the number of views as the videos cover thefundamentals of material science up to video number 15. The views climb immediately whenmore applied content is discussed, ranging from materials characterization to synthesis. ForNano, there are no example videos where students have to refer back to how the instructorapproached a problem. Therefore, the patterns observed here reflect the type of course content.Figure 3 presents similar data but now with views based on a unique viewer. These

in a classroom context. A couple of usefulquestions that an engineering educator might address when considering students’ neuro diversity: a) How should an educator respond to the needs to train students to solve complex, multidisciplinary engineering problems in an academic setting? b) What we do know thus far is the fact that assessment strategies such as quizzes would not be effective in measuring or reflecting students’ level of tackling new challenges? 8 Duong-Tran et al.Referring back to Section 3, we also note that the thickness of e and f arrows indicates theeffectiveness of a multidisciplinary engineering education system in

Thesestudents found what worked for them in terms of transfer:“What I figured out about myself is I learn best through, like, evidence learning and examplelearning where I go through and essentially like, will diagram out problems of being like, okay,now solve this, or this is how the book solved it. How did we get to each line? What...whatprinciple is this applying? What equations am I using? Why do we move on to each step? And Iwill, like, do that for different systems until I understand the overall ideas of why.”This theme draws attention to the importance of transferring all types of

This model needs improvement because [Client A] does not believe they are building enough storage in new restaurants to accommodate the restaurant’s size and sales. They also want to ensure the back of house takes up necessary space - they want to avoid over allocating storage in a restaurant that does not need it, and conversely want to ensure they do not under allocate storage in restaurants that may need to

engineering disciplines and real-world ethical challenges. • Character formation and the role of virtues such as curiosity, humility, and discernment were discussed as to how to embed these character traits through projects or problem-based learning that allowed for ethical learning outcomes to be achieved. • Faculty worked to ensure the ethical principles across both courses were distinct, yet complementary to the learning performed in the prior courses. 6. Implementation Assessment: • Ethical modules were implemented in the expanded set of courses to gauge their impact. • Ongoing assessments, student feedback, and faculty reflections were collected

Additionally, the bends in the troughs facilitateefficient substrate retention, promoting conducive conditions for robust plant growth whileoptimizing spatial efficiency.In conclusion, the analysis of patents related to vertical gardening has provided invaluableinsights that have profoundly influenced the design and development of the botanical wallproject. The transition from 3D-printed pots to troughs for plant containment, inspired by patentssuch as US8141294-B2 and CN101553108B, reflects a strategic shift toward cost-effective andmanufacturable solutions. Moreover, the structural integrity evaluation guided by patent findingshas informed

Notably, 9 students (about 75% of the total students)suggested practical safety measures, reflecting their proactive approach to safety. Furthermore, 8students (about 67%) were able to identify other varieties of near-miss incidents, indicating theircomprehensive understanding of potential hazards in construction. These results suggest that VRwalkthroughs are a highly effective tool for improving safety awareness and the ability to detectand respond to near-miss incidents in construction environments. 100 92 90
