displacement is one of the great global challenges ofour time, insufficient attention is paid to this issue within higher education, and it is rarely explored incourses on engineering and basic and applied sciences. While some models do exist for integratingconcepts associated with forced displacement into STEM education, they rarely provide students theopportunity to approach the issue holistically and engage in depth. Such courses tend to focus only onselect issues, use siloed approaches, and consider complex challenges in isolation from other inherentlyrelated challenges. Simply mapping the concept of forced displacement onto existing course models is insufficient,as engaging with the issue of forced displacement at any level requires
computer-based instruction (CBI) systems, providing interactive learningexperiences through programmed instruction. This foundational phase laid the groundwork forthe future integration of AI in educational settings, incorporating adaptive feedback andindividualized instruction[2]. 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
robotscan look like animals, such as fish, snakes, or other animals. BIERs are an ideal technology topromote integrated STEM learning [26], [27]. A significant challenge with many BIERs is theyare expensive and difficult to construct, use, and replicate for educational purposes [28]. There isa need to develop low-cost, easy-to-use BIERs to help facilitate integrated STEM learning,especially within multiple learning environments. Conceptual FrameworkThis study was guided by constructivism as a learning theory. The works of early scholars,including Piaget [29], Brunner [30], and Vgytosky [31], helped form our contemporaryunderstanding of constructivism as a learning theory. While no single agreed-upon

Famous artists in the pastincluding but not limited to, Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso were not only consideredtalented artists and known for their creativity, but also for the machineries theyengineered along with their artwork. In fact, it can be said that art and engineering gohand in hand, and much of the technological and artistic wonders that we see in frontof us in the 21st century are the pin ultimate combination of these two fields. Theproblem however arises primarily in today’s education system; In general, engineersacquire little to no arts instruction. Universities' engineering departments hardly

However, providingmore complete materials, including assessments and lecture materials, would help standardizecurricula. We envision that ongoing discussions will lead to a greater amount of preparedmaterials.Finally, in order to improve diversity in content, future workshops could include sessions onethics, bias or systemic racism in focused topics (such as the effects of bias in artificialintelligence) as well as strategies for addressing and mitigating these factors in technology.
