knowledge of collaborative design withintegrated PLM tools. The following two sections discuss the benefits, drawbacks, and difficultiesof using advanced PDM software, including features such as CAD and PDM integration,engineering workflows, and collaborative design tools.3.1 PDM ApplicationPDM software is one of the essential parts of a digital collaborative design space, as it facilitatesall the different PLM software tools and processes discussed earlier in this paper. Teamcenter canintegrate CAD, CAE, and CAM software into its central database to create a repository for allproduct-related data. For this project, Teamcenter was the foundation for building the trackedvehicle's digital twin. To introduce Teamcenter, a presentation was created

education with a transformativeexperience designed to connect classroom learning with industry needs. Undergraduate studentswork on cutting-edge projects including intelligent edge computing through a 10-week course.Students at our REU site not only learn about theories but also apply these concepts byexperimenting with real-world setups like Raspberry Pi testbeds and virtual machines tounderstand the intricacies of edge computing in action.This initiative proves to be a unique opportunity for students to align their theoretical knowledgewith industry trends by modifying their critical thinking skills. Coming from differentbackgrounds, students were able to learn technical and non-technical skills such as programmingedge devices and how to

gavestudents a glimpse into the real-world significance of their learning. For some, this experiencesolidified their understanding, making abstract concepts more tangible. However, for others, thetransition to hands-on work introduced new challenges, underscoring the need for morescaffolding between theory and application.Lessons Learned: Areas for ImprovementWhile the BB84 QKD activity was a strong culminating project, the lead-up to it revealed gaps inhow students were prepared. The lessons leading up to this hands-on activity lacked sufficientemphasis on the physics principles and technical skills required for success. Key topics like lightpolarization, microcontroller programming, and basic circuit building were introduced tooquickly for students

0.024 W·m−1·K−1 [1], andthus prevents an efficient heat transfer from the processor to the heat sink. Imperfect surfacecontact between the processor and the heat sink is a major limiting factor for creating newelectronics. Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) are thermally conductive materials used toimprove surface contact with a thermally conductive material, displacing the air and increasinginterfacial heat transfer between the heat sink and processor and this prevents overheating of thesystem.The objective was to produce repeatable and reliable results using a setup, which costssignificantly less than commercial testers. This would make TIM testing more accessible to highschool laboratories and developing nations. The goal of this project was

assistant), professors may opt for assessments that are easier to grade, such as multiple-choice exams or assignments with clear-cut answers, instead of more time-consuming butpotentially more meaningful forms of evaluation, like essays or project-based assessments.My findings overall highlight a misalignment of priorities among faculty. This excessive focuson preventing dishonesty can overshadow efforts to address more impactful aspects of education,such as refining course content, developing innovative teaching strategies, and creating a moreenriching learning experience for students [33], [34].. Instead, faculty should also balance inemphasizing improving test design and preparation strategies, which can be more effective andbeneficial to
