Engineering Education, 2025 Project-Based Learning and the AI4K12 Framework in High School AI Curriculum: A Systematic ReviewAbstract— This systematic literature review investigates how Project-Based Learning (PBL) andthe AI4K12 Five Big Ideas framework enhance high school students' AI literacy, includingfunctionality, application, and ethics. Six peer-reviewed empirical studies were synthesized toaddress four research questions: the observed learning outcomes and challenges of high schoolAI education, the use of PBL pedagogy, and the inclusion of the AI4K12 Five Big Ideas.The purpose of this study is to explore effective methods for integrating AI literacy into existinghigh school curricula. This urgency stems

Senior Capstone ProjectAbstract: This paper presents the results of a real-world design project involving both undergraduateengineering and business students. The project involves the design, development, andprototyping of a next generation pallet rack column guard. The guard allows for the engagementand protection of a storage rack upright (column) from an impact force by an external objectsuch as a forklift. The guard protects the storage rack by absorbing and damping the resultingimpact force. The guard is constructed from an injection-molded thermoset elastomer.Elastomers can store and release more potential energy per unit mass (or volume) than steel andplastic guards. This translates to greater energy absorption which will help preserve

The impact of suchprograms extends beyond skill development, as they also play a crucial role in fostering self-efficacyand sense of belonging in the aerospace engineering community. This is particularly important giventhat URM students often face additional challenges, including imposter syndrome and a lack ofrepresentation among faculty and industry professionals [1].
