learning experiences. Leite combined project-oriented research with PBL,highlighting the need for adaptability in modernizing education [7]. Hosseinzadeh andHesamzadeh found PBL effective in specialized subjects but noted resource requirements andsuitability for moderate class sizes [8]. Rodriguez et al. [9] implemented PBL in space education,enhancing motivation but demanding more faculty commitment and facing scalability challenges.Marasc and Bejkat interdisciplinary program aimed to boost electrical engineering interest byintegrating it with other subjects [10]. These studies collectively emphasize the benefits andlogistical considerations of PBL and innovative approaches in engineering education.Inquiry Learning is centered around nurturing

utilizecompetencies developed in the first three years of the curriculum in the solution of a complexdesign problem.Educational excellence requires exposing students to the current edge of research. To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefields of Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are growing rapidly, andthere is increasing interest in providing undergraduate students with a foundation in these areas.This paper presents IoT and WSN projects that our undergraduate computer and electricalengineering students have done in their senior capstone course in wildfire

REU participants)taking place on Fridays. Participants in RET and REU collaborate on research projects and offerinput based on their unique perspectives and experiences. To provide a closer connectionbetween engineering research principles and practical application, the curriculum depends onimmersive instruction.The REU/RET teams create a video "elevator pitch" on their experience and present their workin a virtual research symposium at the end of the summer. The top 9 participants in the programare given stipends to continue their research at their home university during the academic year.For RET participants to bring the proper hardware and components back to their classrooms tosupport their engineering activities, host institutions

well aware of these novel technologies, we need to update our curriculum andcourse design. In this paper, I present some laboratories (labs) that the students conducted as apart of a course project in the ubiquitous computing class. This course is an elective forundergraduate Computer and Information Sciences or Information technology students. Thestudents who take this course are either juniors or seniors. Covid-19 has taught us how remoteteaching is useful to ensure proper education during the time of the pandemic. This project aimsto design different lab modules that the students can conduct without purchasing hardware. Idesigned this course at the time of covid pandemic to ensure student learning and success in aneconomical way. I devised

theoretical content into practical, digestible segments that reflect real-world applications. 3. [17]: Explores how students apply different debugging strategies in software development. This study implies that understanding and applying theoretical concepts in practical debugging scenarios can improve learning outcomes.Suggested Hypotheses for Testing: 1. Hypothesis on Enhanced Learning Comprehension: Students exposed to curriculum integrating real-world applications (e.g., hands-on projects using Raspberry Pi for cybersecurity) will demonstrate higher comprehension and application skills in theoretical concepts compared to students taught with traditional methods. 2. Hypothesis on Improved Engagement and

traditional teaching methods that emphasizecritical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It should serve as a supplement rather than areplacement for human instruction. Faculty should include information literacy as part of the curriculum. This involvesteaching students how to critically evaluate the information they receive, distinguish betweencredible and unreliable sources, and verify facts independently. Rather than using ChatGPT as asole source of information, students should be encouraged to explore multiple sources, engage indiscussions, and seek diverse perspectives on a topic. This approach fosters critical thinking andcreativity by exposing students to different viewpoints and ideas. Design assignments and projects that

trajectory is promising,suggesting a positive impact on student learning, while also guiding us towards targeted improvementsin our teaching methodologies.8 ConclusionOur exploration of the Notional Machine pedagogical approach in the CSE12 curriculum has progressedsignificantly since its inception in W23. Initially, as a pilot project, the feedback from the W23 and S23quarters provided foundational insights into the preliminary impact of this initiative. These initialsurveys indicated a promising direction, particularly in how students transitioned from CSE12 tosubsequent courses like Computer Architecture (CSE120), suggesting a potential enhancement in theirreadiness for more advanced topics.Building upon these initial insights, the results
