successful teaching strategy.It can be used in a virtual environment or regular college classroom settings. Active learningteaching approaches have been found to improve student learning, raise retention rates, and closethe achievement gap between various student populations in college science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses [4]. Beyond the subject of electrical engineering,active learning pedagogies have been applied extensively in industrial engineering [5-7].For STEM students, in particular, who learn best in courses with hands-on laboratories, aneffective online instructional practice uses a variety of active learning pedagogies as shown inFigure 1. There is a considerable level of discontent with online engineering
warehouse layoutsthrough the use of WARP at Penn State Abington College.Applications of Augmented Reality in Order Picking & Warehouse Layout DesignAR is a technology that displays virtual objects in the real world on a digital device’s screen,allowing users to interact with virtual objects and locations while moving about a real-worldenvironment. In contrast, a virtual reality user is immersed in a virtual world through a headset,allowing them to see and interact with a fully digital world controlled by the program.In order picking, a person is tasked with retrieving a picklist of items from locations in awarehouse and bringing them back for retrieval. In a single-item picklist, the picker will grab oneitem, and then return to the starting
. They believe that they are more active, cankeep their attention better and enjoy the experience of relevant situations in a virtual environment[19]. The immersive nature of virtual reality captures students' attention and motivates them toactively participate in the learning process.When referring to Lean training and education, simulators are often used. These can take theform of desktop games, computer simulations, or full-scale simulators [20]. The advancement ofvirtual reality (VR) technology has created new opportunities beyond the realm of video games[21]. Some innovations rely in platforms for creating simulation environments using VR andartificial intelligence (AI) techniques. The combination of VR and AI enables the developmentof

. It is beneficial that students learn the generalimplications of using predictive models. The models utilize various AI algorithms, where analgorithm learns from a retrospective dataset that comprises samples and features to makepredictions. An AI algorithm trained on a balanced dataset produces good results, while analgorithm trained on a biased dataset may lead to unfavorable outcomes. Some dataset featurescan be eliminated as insignificant, and the AI algorithm is deployed only on the significantfeatures. There are many reasons why features are insignificant beyond using just biaseddatasets. However, it is worthwhile to investigate the effects of these insignificant features, asdetailed analyses can reveal damaging or positive consequences

the learner has a low expectation of success, their motivation to learndeteriorates [19]. The active involvement of students in the learning process is essential to accomplish the assignedtasks [8]. When students are disengaged due to lack of communication, absence of both empathy andinclusion, and when they are poorly committed to a common goal, and fail to plan their work, conflictsarise. Researchers have found that conflicts weaken team cohesiveness[8], halts innovation during theideation phase [22], and may lead to social loafing [7]. Working in a team is not just an assignment, it isan experience that students live through and acquire. Student performance on a team can be improvedwhen propre knowledge and guidance are delivered by

The project involvedsustainability initiatives of the Canadian operations of a large multinational automobilemanufacturer headquartered in Europe. During her second visit, she went through the details ofthe case, discussing the analysis and recommendations. Student teams had an assignment duringthe two weeks in between her visits. In addition to Lean-specific concepts, the assignment hadcultural and global elements as well. It asked for research into the European Union’s 2050 long-term strategy compared to environmental policies of the United States, Canada, and Australia.The assignment prompt is presented in Appendix A-1.Mr
