interdisciplinary research andeducation by creating institutions and hubs [7], [8]. These new initiatives have been supported bystudents, politicians and federal research granting agencies who want to see moreinterdisciplinary research, innovation, and educational programs across traditional disciplinarylines [9]. However, there is a wide spectrum regarding the level of success for theseinterdisciplinary initiatives. The goal of this study was to gain insight from experts who havebeen involved with the development, implementation, and operation of interdisciplinaryinitiatives. The focus was the examination of key factors for success and the development of amodel which can be used to improve the outcomes for existing initiatives and assist in theplanning

Students are being prepared for intersectoralcollaboration and multiple career pathways in a workforce that will change more rapidly incoming years. Students are enabled to join multidisciplinary teams with people who approachproblems with different methods and knowledge, and to solve problems in diverse groups interms of culture, race/ethnicity/nationality, gender or socioeconomic status.The International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program of NSF contributes todevelopment of a diverse, globally engaged higher education workforce with world-class skills.Within

BackgroundElevating the engagement of undergraduate students in research is becoming progressivelyessential. This is evident in initiatives such as the Research Experiences for Undergraduatesprogram funded by the NSF.

: The Effect of Summarizing a Research Article on Students’ Area of Robotics Interest1 BackgroundThe need for capable, ethical robotics engineers is growing with the industry valued at 32.32billion in 2021 with anticipated growth of 12.1% from 2022 to 2030 [1], and projected 17,900mechanical engineering job openings each year [2]. It is imperative that undergraduate andgraduate programs prepare engineers for industry positions in robotics, and that they includeand encourage diverse groups of students to enter the field.Additionally, diversity among engineers in general is limited, starting with bachelor’s andbeing further exacerbated when entering engineering professions. For example, 22% of engi-neering bachelor degrees in

EducationArtificial Intelligence Education is an interdisciplinary research field, and existing researchcan be roughly divided into two categories. One stream is AI in Education (AIEd), whichfocuses on the application of AI in the education contexts [9-10]. For example, utilizing AI topromote personalized learning [11]. Another stream is AI for Education, which aim tocultivate AI talents to meet the needs of technological progress and industrial development.In terms of research heat, studies focused on AI in Education noticeably outnumber those inAI for Education. However, in policy initiatives, the emphasis on AI for Education holds anoverwhelming position, with global policymakers increasingly emphasizing the cultivation ofAI talents through education [2

To initiate this process, we designed and conducted twofocus groups that were facilitated by a member of the research team. All eight participantsattended the first focus group, and seven participants attended the second focus group. Thegraphic in Figure 9 highlights the first stage of PAR that was implemented in this research. PARis typically iterative in addressing the issues that participants identify and the action items thatthey may take on to address these issues, which are then further evaluated to determine ifimprovements are in place
