algorithms to the omission of important topics and key theoretical ideas.Langley’s findings provide a rationale for integrating discussions and ideas commonly in the realm of thehumanities and social sciences into AI course design for engineering education [31]. Their study found that“problem areas like qualitative reasoning, analogy, and creativity are ignored in favor of ones that are more easilyformalized” [31]. Promoting critical thinking and creativity through interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solvingcan set the basis for qualitative reasoning beyond quantitative analyses. It also allows for deeper reasoning on theinterplays between society and technology.These findings echo Mishra and Siy, who warned that “a Computer Science centric

This approacheffectively bridges the gap between theory and practice.To cater to diverse learning preferences, facilitate visualization, promote real-world applications,and implement experiential learning, a variety of methods have been integrated over the pastdecade in this course. These methods include augmented reality (AR), discussions using real-world example pictures, and interactions with physical models—both through studentengagement and instructor demonstrations.Research has indicated that some students may not fully demonstrate their learning within theconstraints of

graphic novel genre growing with pieces like “Maus”19 or“Science Comics.”18 Regardless, there are many benefits to implementing comics in the classroom.Comics are first less expensive than textbooks and other multimedia resources. Furthermore,comics allow for the readers to interact with the pages through moving dialogues, creative visuals,and various characters. These aspects of comics allow for higher engagement and better retentionas opposed to walls of text presented by textbooks.Comics may also allow for the promotion of greater representation in curricula through its form asmore diverse and inclusive learning tools. With diversity in a field comes higher levels ofinnovation4, so having learning tools act as voices for K-12 students

Consequently, this contributes to the continuousimprovement of educational resources within engineering programs, fostering a more robust andmodern teaching environment, and providing engineering students with cutting-edge resources.Through the integration of capstone projects centered on equipment improvements, and guidedby faculty teaching respective courses, students engage in a comprehensive learning experiencethat goes beyond theoretical understanding.
