. Many of these students may not have opportunities forpractical engineering training without this course. In a survey conducted at the end of the course, studentsreported improvement in all of the following three areas: (1) knowledge and skills in and out of theirmajors, (2) self-efficacy in solving complex problems in diverse team settings, and (3) soft skills such asleadership, collaboration, and public speaking. Many students indicated the course offered very valuablereal-world experience during their engineering education. Students also commented that this courseexperience is challenging but inspiring and motivating for them to pursue engineering careers. Theirresponses to open-ended questions revealed a high level of engagement and
student readiness and contribute to the development of skilled professionalsin the engineering industry. This study provides insights for educators seeking to enhance onlinehands-on learning in engineering education.IntroductionOnline engineering education has seen significant growth in recent years due to advancements indigital technologies and the need for flexible, accessible learning opportunities [1]. However,traditional hands-on engineering courses present unique challenges in the online format. Thesecourses often involve laboratory or project-based work requiring access to specialized equipmentand collaboration with peers, which can be challenging to achieve in an online setting [2]. As aresult, educators are exploring new strategies to
applications and potential impact.An essential aspect of implementing AI in the EE curriculum is fostering collaborative researchand establishing industry partnerships [21]. Engaging students in AI-related research projectsallows them to explore real-world applications and challenges, enhancing their learningexperience. Additionally, establishing connections with industry professionals provides studentsvaluable insights into current AI practices and emerging trends. These collaborative initiativesbetween academia and industry ensure a holistic and well-rounded approach to AI integration inthe EE curriculum that remains timely and relevant to industry needs.Student Survey on AI's Role in Electrical Engineering Education: Perceptions of Benefitsand

Engineering Education Employers have increasingly emphasized the need for engineering graduates to havetraining in communication to support effective collaboration across national, cultural, contextualand disciplinary boundaries [11]. In fact, technical communication training has been shown tohave a positive impact on a graduate’s ability to adjust to jobs and achieve career goals [12]. Atechnical communication elective has long been a requirement at top universities, but only afraction require instruction that is integrated within the engineering context [13, 14]. Success hasbeen shown when offering integrated experiences using appropriate tools, and in a diversecontext [15], but inclusion of this type of curriculum is not as common as

Gutierrez-Bucheli et al. (2022) suggested teaching sustainability using project-based approaches that reflect the culture and context of the students to enable them to frame theirunderstanding of sustainability. Vemury et al. (2018) also found that problem and project-basedapproaches using real
