Simultaneously, the rigorous test of Model-Based Design in a competition setting isideal for investigating new ways of presenting the material. Students and professors aremotivated to optimize the use of the tools provided.The corollary to industry use of Model-Based Design is the demand for technically preparedstudents who will join the workforce to become Model-Based Design customers, designers, andpossibly teachers. The aim is to carefully build on past success of student competitions in orderto realize new opportunities in burgeoning engineering fields worldwide – systems biology,communications
., 2004). This approach aligns with the hands-on nature of engineeringeducation, particularly in laboratories and project-based courses. Constructivism promotesstudent-centered learning environments where learners connect new ideas to existing knowledge(Kant et al., 2011). In engineering education, this theory has been applied through problem-basedlearning, projects, and group discussions (Erawati & Adnyana, 2024). Experiential learningopportunities have been successfully implemented in various engineering programs, enhancingstudents' practical skills and understanding (Ghrayeb & Vohra, 2011). The constructivistapproach is particularly effective in developing professional competence and preparing studentsfor industry. Successful

Some of the initiatives like community-led urban farming projects, training programs, or cooperative models that empower and benefit thecommunity are taken into consideration to enhance such collaborations with the community atlarge.1.Introduction1A. Sustainable Robotic AgricultureThe global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, placing immense pressure on foodproduction systems1. Concurrently, environmental concerns such as climate change, soildegradation, and water scarcity pose significant challenges to traditional farming methods. Roboticagriculture offers a promising solution by leveraging technology to enhance efficiency,productivity, and sustainability in food production. Robotic agriculture encompasses
afterschool hours, direct chat with one person, and group collaboration. Specifically, one graduatestudent from industry commented “Slack is used by all big software development firms today asan internal communication tool. Hence it is very useful for students to learn about it.”Some students also shared their frustrations in using Slack and suggested features to improveSlack. Some consider Slack not as user friendly as Skype or WhatsApp. For example, in Slackyou do not know whether all members have read your message. Some suggest a content channelwith all class material or find a convenient way to integrate Slack with the Blackboard learningmanagement system, so that Slack would not be used just for communication but also as achannel to access

The use of Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis or blogscan provide several learning and collaborative benefits to students through opportunities for thestudent groups to interact with each other, with faculty and with industry experts who can offercomments after reviewing their blog pages [1]. Other benefits include increasing their writingskills, communication skills and providing an introduction to principles of web design by addinga digital element to their traditional projects and in-class presentations through the incorporationof text, images and
Design/Manufacturing Laboratory FacilitiesAs stated earlier, the purpose of the Remote Design/Manufacturing Laboratories is to allow university and highschool students to readily interact with one another while conducting a project. Collaboration requires closeinteraction. Ideally, a small number of participants meet together and work on materials such as a budget, a diagramor a technical specification. During such working meetings, participants usually make various modifications tothese materials. In addition, participants talk and sense subtle cues such as intonations and body language whiledecisions are made as a group.In real life, meetings as described above often do not happen. Participants might be separated geographically orhave

During this period, international student groups experienced the challenges ofestablishing effective working relationships over long distances and maintaining their teams’ cohesionover the duration of the project. Team work can be improved if students learn to appreciate the ways inwhich the team members’ cultural preferences will affect the team’s decision-making and performance.An evaluation instrument was developed and it is being tested during the current semester. First, aninitial evaluation stage was applied at the beginning of the semester, before students at
