is intended to allow theuser to observe the consequences of their actions, serving as an effective knowledge retention tool.Through the application of theoretical knowledge in a simulated practical context, the user shouldfind the real-world problems that they encounter quite similar to their virtual experience.2.2 Use of Prompt Engineering to Develop Real-World Scenario To provide tangible, real-world challenges, and realistic scenario, a comprehensive literaturereview was needed with extensive expert surveys, following a traditional approach, such as theDelphi method. This may take multiple months to conduct the literature review, identify casestudies, prepare questionaries, conduct survey, and compile the results. Though a scenario

. Following the third round, there is a debriefing sessionwhere players reflect on their tactics and experiences, enhancing the learning opportunity.The main research question is ‘How effective is the online FRC game as a teaching and learningtool in a large engineering classroom?’ The effectiveness of the FRC game is measured byanswering the following questions: Were the learning objectives achieved? Were students moreengaged by the FRC game than by traditional teaching techniques such as lecturing? Didstudents make the connection between lessons learned in the game and application to real-lifeproblems? 2. METHODOLOGYThe research question is explored by investigating two main hypotheses: The first hypothesis

The motorsselected for exploration include DC motors, servo motors, and the planned integration of steppermotors. The paper outlines the course design, specific lectures, labs for each motor type, andcourse evaluation methodologies and concludes with insights drawn from the ongoingimprovement efforts. 1.

Moreover, the study proposes an expansion ofthis approach to civil engineering and cybersecurity-related programs, emphasizing the broaderimplications for workforce preparedness and infrastructure resilience. By highlighting theimportance of standards education and offering a replicable model for curricular integration, thisstudy contributes to advancing standards literacy initiatives within higher education and drawsattention to their role in shaping the future engineering workforce.IntroductionStandards form the foundation of many technologies and processes used in daily life. They helpmanage safety, security, and risk across countless industries and activities [1]. In simple terms,they are documents that

, toconstruct a rubric for evaluating solutions. This exercise is completed in a series of steps to helpstudents orient themselves for ethical considerations before completing the main assignment. Itbegins with an individual task to identify personal biases using the utilitarian Moral Machine’sdilemmas; next, it branches out into other ethical perspectives more realistically representing theviewpoints found in real-world settings. This team-based task, engages students in a process ofdiscussing and recording their reasoning for criteria weights and evaluation scores for eachproposed solution. Based on previous years of instruction on similar subject matter which havelacked this ethical decision evaluation process, the instructors observed a much

They characterize “multidisciplinary” as the least integrated and most attainable form ofcollaboration, with researchers from different disciplines “co-existing in context” (p. 1095).Imagine people sitting around a table asking one another what they understand about leadership,listening to one another without trying on new theoretical perspectives or methodologies.Moving along the integration continuum, Stock and Burton define “interdisciplinary” as the co-creation of knowledge rooted in distinct scholarly traditions, often addressing “real world”problems in ways that require a bridging of the

This project addresses two critical aspectsof modeling related to engineering design and analysis, namely, verification and validation. Theescape room activity and outcomes are assessed using rubrics and student surveys. Results indicatethat the activity is effective at engaging students in the application of model verification andvalidation which can be carried on to other engineering projects as well as fostering EMLobjectives of curiosity, connections, and creating value.1.
