The I2C LCD 1602 module was also connected to the board using a separate set of jumperwires. The Arduino code provided involved reading the analog value of the photoresistor,displaying it on the LCD screen, and repeating the process with a delay of 500 milliseconds. Thepotentiometer on the I2C LCD 1602 module was adjusted to adjust the contrast of the display.In Fig.1(b), the digital sensor experiment involved connecting an ultrasonic sensor and an LEDto a breadboard.

Debate series are formed based on the number of teamsbuilt and the duration for one lecture meeting. For a 75-minute lecture time, two debatesessions, each of which are 26 minutes long, can be fit in adequately, giving enoughsettling time before and in between the debates. Each team consists of three students. Thestructure of the debate is such that the debate opens with one team (Team A) presentingtheir arguments, followed by a member of the opposing team (Team B).

significance of transitioning from a 2-year toa 4-year program in cultivating a strong scientific identity. It will also enhance ourcomprehension of how advanced knowledge and broader institutional experiences can bolstereconomic and occupational resilience, ultimately paving the way for the emergence of futureSTEM leaders. More specifically, this transition from a 2-year to a 4-year degree seeks toinstigate a transformative shift within the realm of engineering technology education. Its ultimateobjective is to empower individuals, enabling them to access enhanced career prospects anddiscover untapped opportunities.References[1] K. Atkins, B. M. Dougan, M. S. Dromgold-Sermen, H.

integration. Using this design would mean therewould have been less work ahead in making a functional autonomously guided vehicle. This wasvery appealing at first, but the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. One of the drawbacks of thecaster wheel design is complexity in movements. For a robot of this design to move to a pointthat is not directly in front of it or behind it, it must use a series of complex turns andmaneuvering to reach its objective. For example, if the wheelbase in Figure 2 needs to travelfrom point A to point C it must first traverse to point B, then to C. In most cases, this will not bean issue, as the robot would just need enough space to maneuver. Unfortunately, there are manyspatial restraints in the area where the GOFR is to be

They employed electroencephalogrammeasurements to directly gauge cognitive processing during learning. Their findingsdemonstrated higher cognitive load and lower learning outcomes among 52 university studentswho were engaged with a science simulation. This suggests that, despite VR’s motivatingaspects, learning science in VR might overwhelm and distract learners, potentially hindering thedevelopment of meaningful learning outcomes [7]. Garzón
