The intent is to integrate design, manufacturing, and consumer activities seamlessly toincrease productivity, reliability and customer satisfaction. An Industry 4.0 manufacturingsystem—also called a cyber physical production system (CPPS)—integrates Internet of Things(IoT), Internet of Services (IoS, or also called Cloud Computing) and cyber-physical system(CPS) technologies [2].

Quantitative methods wereused to develop coarse-grained understandings of undergraduate students’ self-regulation ofcognition (SRC) and self-regulation of motivation (SRM) during academic problem-solvingactivities in two undergraduate engineering and mathematics (EM) courses. Two researchquestions were constructed to guide this study: (1) How are SRC and SRM strategies related toeach other while solving EM problems?; and (2) How do students perceive their SRC and SRMstrategies for problem-solving activities in EM courses?Two 2nd year EM courses, Engineering Statics and Ordinary Differential Equations, werepurposefully selected as the contexts of the

In the absence of suchfacilities, communities that reside in isolated areas encounter water scarcity affecting drinking,sanitation, farming, and other needs. These issues can economically be solved by employing ahydraulic ram pump, which does not require electricity to function as they are powered by thewater source itself resulting in a negligible operational cost. The goal of this study was to modifythe design of an existing ram pump to improve its overall performance. A ram pump setup wasbuilt using various materials including valves, PVC pipe and connectors, and digital pressuregauges [3]. Many modifications are implemented to improve efficiency [3-5].

The modules focused on how to act and how to respond to promote psychological safety on design projects. Each module was tailored to a different phase of the design process. The themes of the three modules are (1) treating every idea as having potential to contribute to a positive outcome, (2) questioning an idea to obtain valuable insight, and (3) applying the brake to improve a decision. To explore the impact of the modules, we deployed a post-course survey to measure students’ perceptions of psychological safety on their project teams.

I. Introduction The role of educators is to facilitate the students’ journey. Educators create safe space forstudents to learn, make mistakes, emancipate, and create an identity for themselves [1].Educators rely on conventional tools such as lectures, class activities, assignments, quizzes, andexams to educate their students. Over time, more research has gone into other effective learningtools. Research records
