, VR can beenhanced through wired clothing, body tracking sensors, tactile and force feedback systems,spatialized sound, and even olfactory displays. Some of the earliest uses of VR have been inmedical and military applications, where budgets are large and the consequences of even smallerrors are sufficient to justify the expense of high-quality equipment and initial softwaredevelopment. More recently VR has been used for computational fluid dynamics visualization,operator training, construction engineering, maintenance planning, and EPA site remediation.Although high quality VR still requires prohibitively expensive computers and equipment, it isnow possible to deliver VR simulations of a somewhat lower quality on student affordablepersonal

If it does, then the Schmidt trigger produces a pulse, which iscounted by the digital counter. The combination of digital gates assures that when the counterreaches 12, a switch is turned on.“How diabolical of Moriarty.

The primary motivational technique is the use of student interviews withpracticing engineers, allowing students to personally “discover” this real world phenomena byinteracting with professionals in their field and gaining first-hand understanding of theimportance of good technical writing skills. To help give a sophomore-level technical writingcourse immediate relevance, it is linked to a class/laboratory that was reformulated to include alarge writing component. The laboratory includes team written prelabs, draft reports that are peerreviewed, and final reports that use both a memo and formal report formats.

Secondary goals of the interactive,team-based nature of the course were to provide students with an opportunity to develop theircommunications, technology and group skills. “Assessment is not about measuring everything. Instead priorities for collecting information in any context should be driven by a set of clear priorities, themselves established by faculty and key con- stituencies.” (Ewell, p. 107) [17].We developed the initial assessment plan in conjunction with the first offering of Interactive Dy

(Having students treat each simulation study as the equivalent of a laboratory experiment accomplishes two tasks. First, the requirement that they must write the explanation and justification of what they expect to accomplish focuses the simulation run. Second, writing the experimental plan eliminates unnecessary simulation studies and runs within a study.) • Enforce the development of a run log recording every run and elapsed personal times.

the relative time spent covering the topic in terms of the credit hours for the course. Thismeans the sum of all the node sizes is the number of credit hours for the course. Topic connectivity isrepresented by the directional edges. A topic without any preceding topics, such as T1-1, means it can betaught without any other prior knowledge. These can be thought of as introductory topics like how onewould think about an introductory course. A topic with preceding topics, such as T1-6, means it requiresthe preceding connected topics (T1-4 and T1-5) to be taught. This follows the logic of ”I need to knownumbers and counting to learn addition.” These dependencies can also be used to help plan the courseby noticing topic T1-10 requires all other
research design. Therefore, we find various studiesdemonstrate the importance of teaching research design to engineering students [17],[18].The rationality model is one of the most well-known decision-making models. Therefore, itbecomes necessary to look at it in-depth to understand it better. Below are the fourcomponents of the rationality model of decision-making: a. Intelligence: when to make a decision b. Design: analysing earlier actions, making possible plans c. Choice: choosing the best possible plan based on merit d. Review: assessing past choicesIt is interesting to note that this model is very similar to the four-part structure of 'researchdesign’ which, being central to innovation, is already a part of the engineering

For instance, in explaining complexmedical conditions or treatment plans, patients may find it easier to understand and retain infor-mation presented in a mix of both languages, aligning with their everyday language use [22].This bilingual approach can lead to better patient engagement, comprehension, and adherence totreatment, ultimately improving health outcomes.

Students to Keep Detailed Notes: Record all the information you gather during your research, including author names, publication dates, and page numbers. It will help you create accurate citations later. • Offer Help and Educate Students to Manage Their Time Effectively: Procrastination can lead to rushed work and increased temptation to plagiarize. Plan your assignments well in advance to avoid last-minute panic.It is also critical to detect and resolve any student's plagiarism promptly and adequately by thesemethods: • Use Plagiarism Checker Tools: Always use plagiarism checker tools (e.g., Turnitin, Grammarly) to identify and correct unintentional plagiarism. • Use Plagiarism Prevention Techniques

However, there is no standard methodology forscoping reviews and continued debate and discussion about optimizing protocols to improvetheir usefulness and rigor are encouraged [17-19]. In this paper, we adopt the six-stageframework outlined by [20] in conducting systematic reviews: scoping, planning, searching,abstract screening, full-text sifting, extracting, and synthesizing information.Scoping: The scoping stage is pivotal in stating the research questions, considering the widespread use of Concept inventory in Engineering.

New faculty members should ensurethat their syllabi communicate course objectives, learning outcomes, grading criteria, and policiesin a transparent and accessible manner. Providing students with an alternative lecture schedulecan also show an outlining key date for assignments, exams, and other important milestones. Thisclarity enables students to plan their study schedule effectively, manage their time efficiently, andstay on track with coursework.2.1.2 Laboratory Design and real-world connectionDesigning laboratories with stronger connections to real-world examples and theoretical knowledgeinvolves several strategies, including selecting

. Forexample, in 2012, MIT established a Comm Lab with plans to appoint liaisons in each of thedepartments in the School of Engineering. The MIT model is a “discipline-specificpeer-mediated model” [4]. Two other universities, Brandeis University and Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology, adapted key aspects of the MIT Comm Lab to their own contexts.Brandeis established a Science Communications Lab for its Division of Science that ispeer-to-peer but discipline-nonspecific, whereas Rose-Hulman installed its Comm Lab within itsMakerspace to emphasize the connection between engineering and communicating. MIT reportsthat representatives from “Boston University, Brandeis University, Caltech, Cornell University,and Northeastern University” have attended the

that allows a basic level of autonomy andownership among the teaching staff. Changes and reasons for change must be clearlycommunicated to the students as they are stakeholders in the process and need to know whythings change, just as they would in an industry setting to foster support for the change ratherthan frustration.In the future, we plan to distribute assignments as sets of requirements in the PDM system,which students must meet and link their file to, thus introducing the students to additional morecomplex digital thread concepts. The use of the PDM system also enables the integration of otherengineering systems. For example, ITI CADIQ can be employed to detect and report on modelintegrity, which can assist in the automation of
and the course sequence. Typical andcommon constraints also exist in both universities which can be applicable to other universities.The authors interviewed and listened to other faculty to reconfirm that time is one of the mostimportant constraints in their teaching. In this interview, instructors not only in Electromagneticsbut also in other courses usually experience a lack of time to cover all the planned topics.Specially, the U.S. Air Force has a specialized curriculum to achieve both academic and militarystandards in its education, and the total in-class and out-of-class time seems limited compared toother universities. Therefore, careful and effective class design is highly important to considerthis time constraint. For both
