It appears that these emerging hybrid architectural techniques will be effective onthe future engineers and this paper will stand as a guide for students in their study or research inthe hybrid memory domain. We hope this study will motivate young students towards research,which in turn boosts the technology and benefits the society. V. Bibliography[1] Goswami, N., Cao, B., & Li, T. (2013, February).

However, the missing need is having a resource, such as externalvalidators and teaching assistants, effectively assess and ensure students’ properapplication of engineering concepts are applied.Research conducted in the 1990’s suggests that active teaching by the instructorwill increase student engagement, which results in a better understanding ofmaterial6.

This is because students learn from a variety of learning-styles based on how they receive and process information.
