-source microcontrollers, likeArduino, has marked a revolutionary shift in engineering education and hobbyist projects alike.Figure 1 provides an overview of the prevalence of various controllers over the years based onpublished papers through ASEE. From 2015 to 2021, we see a large increase in the prevalenceof Arduino and Arduino-like controllers. These accessible, versatile platforms havedemocratized the field of embedded systems, enabling students, educators, and DIYenthusiasts to bring interactive projects to life with relative ease. A search through the ASEEpublications (peer.asee.org) reveals over 1000 papers involving Arduino kits published between2002 and 2023 – with higher numbers published by the following divisions: Electrical

Some ofthe projects were more successful than others, as might be expected. The overall outcome was asuccess and resulted in several hands-on activities that have been used for students in grades 1-12.This paper begins with a brief overview of the outreach programs in the School of Engineering.The main topic of the paper is the independent study course.

, injuries are common on construction projects. Research oncausal factors attributes inadequate knowledge and awareness as being key factors for such poorperformance. The evident solution to this problem is to provide individuals with reliable andretainable knowledge for hazard recognition through well-designed training programs. Currentforms of training are limited in that they focus on regulatory requirements33, while not providingcontextual learning6. Similarly, safety education in the Construction Engineering andManagement (CEM) curriculum focuses on OSHA regulatory requirements, rather thanproviding context-based learning. One prominent solution repeatedly found throughout literatureis the use of augmented reality construction safety training

It alsorepresents a unique way for students to meet together, discuss, share insights, and support eachother since it is related to a course (unlike most extracurricular activities) but is not formally partof the course.
