experience, resources, resistance from faculty, concerns about accreditation, and other issues • Impact of industry, faculty, and students in choosing how to teach Industry 4.0 topics • Resources highly in demand (ex: videos, exercises, instructor guides, projects, etc.) • Thoughts and areas of improvement of currently available Autodesk projects • Curricular adoption process.ASME in collaboration with Jim Warrick from Beacon Technology Partners, LLC [8] conductedten in-depth telephone interviews with mechanical engineering professors. The selection ofprofessors was across five countries, and all were engaged in teaching Industry 4.0 concepts intheir classrooms. The professors selected were from the following institutions

, offering personalized tutoring and feedback, and facilitating the process of reflectingideas in writing (Thi Thuy, 2023).There were some barriers to using ChatGPT were identified, and several solutions weresuggested for the improvement of using ChatGPT in learning processes. There were someconcerning issues for students while using ChatGPT and they were listed as 1. The inability toassess the quality and reliability of sources, 2. The inability to cite sources accurately, and 3. Theinability to replace words and use idioms accurately. To address these concerns, some potentialsolutions can be implemented; for example, verifying ChatGPT’s responses with reliablesources; using ChatGPT as a reference source or a consultant tool; providing guidelines

This paper considers‬ ‭students’ challenges and negative experiences while participating in ICPs based on past‬ ‭experiences collected from student interviews. Analyzing students’ reported challenges and‬ ‭negative experiences provides a guide to address concerns when developing future ICPs.‬ ‭Understanding the type of obstacles students face in these events may be the first step in making‬ ‭the necessary

Engineering, and TransportationEngineering. Students form interdisciplinary teams to tackle a comprehensive project. Thissemester, the challenge is to design an addition or alternative project for the new West Wing ofPenn State University's main campus Engineering Building. Student proposals have ranged fromgreen roofs and additional floors to an enclosed pedestrian walkway connecting engineeringbuildings.Every spring, the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology hosts a Senior CapstoneConference where students showcase their projects to faculty, industry professionals, and thepublic. Judges select the best project in each engineering discipline (computer, electrical,mechanical, and civil) and award an overall winner. The Senior Capstone

-relatedsupport and answer questions related to the project or EWB-UD at large, helping newcomersbecome confident in their roles and comfortable in the organization [5].ContinuityAn unavoidable issue in any university organization is that students graduate after four years,causing frequent leadership turnover and introducing continuity issues [7]. Frequent turnovermakes the effective handover of knowledge and authority critical to the ongoing success ofEWB-UD. When choosing new PMs, consideration is given to the graduation years of applicantsand current students in order to allow a sufficient onboarding period; generally, it is ideal for anew PM to have one year of experience, including travel to Malawi, before assuming fullresponsibility.

These collaborators allow for peer review anddebriefing (Creswell & Miller, 2000) as we analyze the data together and each provide our ownperspective on the results (I am a “traditional” engineer by background, one of my collaboratorsis a social scientist and the other is an engineering faculty member who has worked in the fieldof educational research for several decades). The sampling of multiple participants also allowedfor each to provide contributions to the same themes as the interview protocol was so heavilygrounded in the chosen conceptual framework that examining each a-priori theme in the light ofevery participant was embedded into the research process.3.4 Limitations of StudyIn addition to the issues with
