The faculty decided tosurvey the students to obtain their perspective to determine if students thought the onlineinstruction would be and actually was as effective as the in-person instruction. Twelveundergraduate engineering courses were surveyed both during the first week of online learning,then again at the end of the online instruction. Although the students were busy trying to adapt tothe change while still maintaining class schedules, they responded well to the surveys. Close to400 student responses were collected over the two surveys given.Benefits and Limitations of Online LearningOnline learning has been a

The authors found that high performers weremore likely to connect their explanations to laws and principles, whereas low performers weremore likely to superficially describe code features [14]. Similarly, students in an introductory-level electrical engineering who were specifically instructed on drawing and prompted to do sowhen problem-solving scored slightly better on tests of conceptual understanding than those whowere not [15].In the present study, a generative learning technique was applied to the instruction of engineeringcalculation formatting.

The following decades witnessed AI technologies gradually makingtheir way into classrooms, notably through intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) in the 1970s and1980s. These systems utilized AI algorithms for personalized instruction, adapting learningmaterials and pacing based on individual student performance. Another significant developmentduring this period was the use of natural language processing in language learning applications,enhancing the interactivity and

Our interdisciplinary projectcombines robotics technology and CRI education, introducing the 4-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF), 12g gesture armdriven by shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators. Our robot possesses two of these arms and is set up for smartphone-based control, providing a versatile CRI research platform with high computational power and
