require engineering professors teaching capstone courses to spendconsiderable time evaluating student writing. Varied teaching tools and methods to convey theimportance of communication in professional environments may also be incorporated to enhancestudent learning. Clear communication within an engineering capstone course is important forstudents and engineering instructors. The work in progress describes an effort to improve communication and assessment of studentlearning in an industrial engineering capstone course. To better assess learning objectives,several changes were made to the curriculum over a four-year period. The changes include thedevelopment of a course guide, updated rubrics, project charter discussions, teamworkassessments
as energy, as fundamental to human life as clean water, andas intimate as personalized learning [2]. Each of these challenges is complex, requiresinterdisciplinary expertise, and is filled with elements of uncertainty. In many ways, they exhibitthe quintessential characteristics of what most designers call a “wicked problem”—problemsinvolving multiple stakeholders with conflicting priorities, incomplete information that is onlyclarified by beginning to solve it, and that result in solutions that are deemed better or worserather than right or wrong [3]. Though varied in nature, there is at least one thing that unifiesthese problems and another that unifies the people that solve them. Data is what unifies theseproblems: no matter the problem
superior knowledge ofthe heat transfer subject being taught. A similar result was recorded in this study.Fig.7 Boxplots of Pre- and Post-Test Signature AssignmentThe boxplots in Figure 7 include information about the quartiles of the student's scores on thepre-and post-signature assignments. Furthermore, when the performance is compared to the pre-and post-signature results, it is clear that the student's performance has improved, as evidencedby the interquartile range (IQR), which moved from 45 – 65 percent to 65 – 90 percent. Itdemonstrates that following the experiment, the students could better remember and comprehendthe fundamentals of digital logic.2.

qualityis rooted in the notion of 'qualitative change', a fundamental change of form” [1, p.18]. Forthe authors, the student is not only a customer receiving a service, as the student is beingtransformed by the reception of that service (education). For the authors, the transformativeelement of education is more qualitative than quantitative, which is aligned withconstructivism and radical constructivist paradigms of learning, as expressed by Vygotsky,Feuerstein, and the Chilean biologist Humberto Maturana [22][23][24]. For transformation tohappen, institutions need to empower and enhance students. Furthermore, as mentioned byCheng, Harvey further developed their initial definition of quality as transformation,explaining that quality as

Engineering-specific courses), the majorityof which were mandatory, for evaluating and monitoring students' competencies throughoutthe three stages.b) Developing evaluation rubrics The first step in developing rubrics is to divide competencies into learning outcomes,which are smaller operational units related to the three types of knowledge (to know, to do,and to be) (e.g., [29], [33] - [35]). Defining learning outcomes and developing rubrics wasbased on the Agencia Nacional de Evaluación y de la Calidad y Acreditación's support guidefor writing and evaluating learning outcomes [36]. The construction of the evaluation rubricsfor the Industrial Engineering Program involved the professors of the selected courses basedon the performance of 15
realityequipment that is not normally available in conventional educational contexts may substituteexperiential learning that requires actual physical resources to be performed [22].Therefore, developing a methodology that incorporates VR in a Lean Manufacturing course isjustified by multiple fundamental reasons. VR enhances content retention through immersiveexperiences, allows the practical application of Lean concepts in simulated environments,reduces risks and costs associated with real physical settings, and facilitates accessibility andflexibility in learning. Additionally, it stimulates interest and participation, enables effectiveperformance evaluation, caters to diverse learning styles, aligns with technological trends, andfosters collaboration
