The main organizing armature ofthe curriculum is now a sequence of projects inspired by the new machines.Students choose a sequence of explicitly interdepartmental projects, whilefundamentals continue to be learned in departmentally offered subjects. Threadsare pathways for inter-disciplinary engineering education that cut acrossdisciplines and departments. Threads could be envisioned in areas such as theInternet of Things, autonomous vehicles and systems, smart cities and urbaninfrastructure, and, large data analysis systems.Engineering education worldwide is struggling with the widening gap betweentheory and practice.

Supportive environments can also be created by catering to diverse learningpreferences and cultures (Notaroš et al., 2019; Rice & Mays, 2022). Other approaches includeimplementing more inclusive strategies, such as active learning (Galvis et al., 2019; Theobald etal., 2020).

Dym et al also discussed avariety of project-based design courses and concluded that, not only do the project-based designcourses emulate the team-based environments that most engineering graduates will encounter inindustry, “available research suggests that these kinds of courses appear to improve retention,student satisfaction, diversity, and student learning.” (p. 114)Within a project-based design course, the instructor’s design learning philosophy can be animportant factor influencing the students’ design learning experience.

A critical barrier identified amid the project was the lack of pedagogicallysound, learner centered VR contents for the field of study in electrical and computer engineering(ECE). This REU project was then initiated by two motivated students who were enrolled in theredesigned, VR-integrated introductory ECE course, i.e., ECE90 - Principles of ElectricalCircuits. Disappointed by the 3rd-party VR content they experienced, they went on teachingthemselves VR content creation using the Unity game engine and C# programming language,developed a VR prototype (entitled MetavoltVR), and conducted user experience

five to ten years, a shift has taken place within engineering schools nationwidetoward greater engagement of students through experiential, hands-on learning opportunities.This evolution began with the move of intensive experimental and project-based labwork fromthe postgraduate to undergraduate level. Now, there is a strong interest in introducing hands-onlearning — including opportunities to collaborate with professors and postdoctoral students onnew research — during a student’s first year.For many underclassmen this change has meant the welcome injection of lab and project workinto a curriculum traditionally given over to didactic math and science prerequisites. It has led togrowing contact and collaboration among underclassmen and

Teachers would be paid an amount enticing enough to encourage them to forgo two oftheir short six-week summer. The first week, the teachers and COE faculty met at NCSU tolearn about engineering, technology, exemplary materials and the curriculum strands to becovered in each grade. Lessons and activities were the expected outcome. Then, the followingweek, 50 middle school students were brought

Raelin cites Donald Schon(Schon 1983) who coined the term, “reflection-in-action,” and describes the value of “a learningenvironment which permits and encourages practitioners to test their mental models.” (Raelin,2007) Oeij et al. argue that “Donald Schon’s reflective practitioner actually outlines an explicitmodel of the steps that project leaders in practice apply largely unaware” and illustrates withexamples of leadership in innovation projects.

The how of such a course, what such a course might consist of, possible course syllabi,models and the like, is presented by Hart et al.

To satisfy this objective, the cross-disciplinary course that was developed isbased on completing a software-driven, electro-mechanical engineering project that, at varioustimes and to various extents, calls upon students to function in the capacity of an electricalengineer, a mechanical engineer, a technician, a mathematician, a computer scientist, aresearcher and a communicator of technical material. In so doing, the students gain insight abouthow engineers combine knowledge from these diverse disciplines to solve a real problem—inthis case, constructing and characterizing a 2-DOF, servoed laser system used to trace arbitrarypatterns against a wall.
