approach described in [15] can restrict the sizes of the module in addition to the number of modules.This approach maximizes a different measure of modularity with constraints to set the number of mod-ules and the size of modules within a given size. This is cast as a binary quadratic optimization program.Additionally, we can use the framework to provide a definition of a modular curriculum. A curriculumwill be considered modular if: (a) the topics in a module form a cluster of dense dependency, (b) connec-tivity between modules is sparse, and (c) the modules are within a set resource use (credit hours). Thesetwo approaches enable evaluating the modularity of the curriculum by determining modules that couldbe used to guide course organization and

intellectual property to informand enrich engineering endeavors, ultimately contributing to the advancement of innovativesolutions in botanical engineering.The patent entitled "Vertical Garden," depicted in Figures 1 a and b, introduced the innovativeconcept of employing troughs for the containment and support of plants, diverging from theinitial notion of utilizing 3D-printed pots. This transition to troughs represented a pragmaticshift, aligning with practical considerations such as cost-effectiveness and ease ofmanufacturability. While the patent served as a catalyst for inspiring certain aspects of theproject, the project evolved further to incorporate vertical troughs to optimize spatial utilizationand plant arrangement.

Students were then asked to what extent they would place trust in each of thesefriends. The majority of the students expressed a higher level of trust in friend A, who is a morereliable one. Then, we introduced a twist to the scenario. We revealed that now both friends Aand B will speak the truth 97% of the time. This adjustment changed many students’ trustevaluations. Many students indicated that they would place greater trust in friend B, who becamemore trustworthy, while friend A’s trustworthiness decreased.
