It us useful due to its ability to recreate thereal world in a costly efficient manner [1]. Research [2, 3, 4] has shown that the use of VR inengineering education has improved the learning process and increased the motivation of studentsof understanding new concepts, developing a better ability

This can beconsidered as an “expert-generated concept map” and an “advance organizer” as described byother authors [19, 23]. This frame was used to explain the branches of dynamics and how theyevolve from the basic dynamics just like the stem and branches of a tree grow from the root asshown in Figure 1. Then the different topics from each chapter of the course were placed near thecorresponding branches of dynamics in the concept tree to provide a clear idea of the entirecourse content and how it would be covered. Students were then introduced with the idea of aconcept map, how the concept map would be completed and used in the class, and theresponsibility

have embodied the features in our experimental work thus far. 1. A session of modest duration. Our model of teaming sessions is meant to live alongside everyday practice and be repeated. As such, individual teaming sessions need to be modest in relation to the everyday work in which they are situated. In our case, we have embodied this dimension by having teaming sessions of one hour, and further sessions that occur roughly once per month. 2. A commitment to no preparation. Since a lack of time to prepare can contribute to poor attendance and engagement, and a requirement to prepare extends the footprint of the work, our model includes a commitment to not requiring preparation byattendees.

However, these topicsby their very interdisciplinary nature can serve as motivating examples for students with variedbackgrounds and interests to engage in early in their educational pathways. This motivates ourdesire to develop a new educational model that is not only student-centered but also serves theimmediate and future needs of the employers in diverse sectors that are building cyber-physicalsystems with attention to their lifecycle management [1] [2] [3] [4].

Topics like technical writing and oral presentation are not commonly perceivedby students to be in the domain of engineering while most practicing engineers would disagree[1].

In addition to persistent racist language (e.g., “master/slave,”“whitelists/blacklists”) in the curriculum [1] and scholarship, the unique challenges that Blackengineers face are often erased since their identity is homogenized with other racial and ethnicgroups under the harmful label “underrepresented minority” or URM [2].

However, in engineering, there has been little study about theinterrelationships between test designs, the time required for test completion, and studentperformance outcomes. Therefore, this study proposes to examine the relationships between thetime students used to complete an exam and their performance outcome, and the type of examquestions administered to students and their performance outcome.

According to McPeck, a philosopher and CT researcher,CT is “the propensity and skill to engage in an activity with reflective skepticism” [13]. The mosthighly cited definition is the one by Robert Ennis, who is of the opinion that CT is “reflective andreasonable thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do” [14].
