It is hopedthat the “project-oriented” approach taken in the workshop/ESP classes can help address this important issue. 4.

Clearly, a virtuallaboratory must be as effective as a hands-on laboratory if that is all the student has with whichto learn. On the other hand, computer-aided design, modeling and simulation tools for productdevelopment, design and analysis are now common industry practice. Furthermore, a well-developed realistic virtual experiment can be of greater educational value than a physicallaboratory, quite often far from actual industry set-ups.

For our paper relatively recent (2010-2020) overview papers on serious games in education, game-based learning and gamificationwere investigated as elements of each of these approaches can be found in at least some of thecourses provided. To start with a clear distinction between these three concepts, serious gamesare computer-based learning simulations that engage players in realistic activities designed toincrease knowledge, improve skills, and enable positive learning outcomes [11], while Game-Based Learning [GBL] focuses more on learning primarily basic math or language skills througha game that is played, finally, gamification is the application of game elements to a none gameenvironment [12-16].

Low-cost programs will becritical to enable institutions to explore these high-tech programs and develop experience beforethe industry needs become clear.Education with autonomy is difficult to get started in. Firstly, most autonomous vehicleprograms are directed toward those with a coding or computer science background. For example,the majority of these programs are written for Linux. This means that both students and,sometimes, instructors must learn not only new coding skills and new programs, but also a newoperating system. Once these software challenges are overcome, moving to real-world hardwarecan also be challenging. Purchasing a platform to test these new autonomy algorithms can beexpensive
