The Lecture/Laboratory DisconnectIn curricula that teach EE concepts, hands-on laboratories that accompany circuit theory, signals& systems, and digital design courses are often scheduled separately, partly because textbooksoften adopt a written-work and software paradigm. Additionally, organizing students and topicsin laboratory-only environments is more efficient than interspersing hands-on assignments withlectures, so unless lecture and laboratory courses are paired, laboratories can be separated in timefrom their corresponding lecture material, making it difficult for

creating two new courses for theFall 2000 semester – a new four credit hour course called Introduction to Engineering and a onecredit hour Engineering Seminar. The content of the new Introduction to Engineering coursefocused on learning the engineering design process and some of the tools (such as graphics,CAD, and various computer packages) needed to support that design process. This course wasdesigned with a significant portion of its content devoted to hands on exposure to engineeringdesign. The students experienced the entire design process twice during the Fall semester usingRoboLab by LEGO-DACTA as a platform to solve engineering problems. In the one credithour Engineering Seminar, students learned strategies needed to be a successful

By combining advanced tools such as Revitmodels, Sentio VR, Resolve, Arkio, and more, students can gain a deeper understanding ofcomplex engineering concepts, apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios, and improvetheir problem-solving skills.The use of personalized learning experiences and feedback provided by Artificial Intelligence (AI)technology further enhances student engagement and maximizes their potential in civilengineering. The paper focuses on VR's use in upper-level courses, allowing students to interactwith 3D models in simulated real-world scenarios, providing crucial hands-on

In 2002, the programwas renamed the Introduction to Engineering, reflecting a conscious decision to make theprogram more overtly inclusive of all demographic groups.

Engineering graduates need a lifelong learning mentality and skillset that will enablethem to address complex sociotechnical challenges (some of which have yet to be predicted) andnavigate a changing labour system. Fostering these lifelong learning competencies throughcurriculum design has been a challenge in engineering programs. While scholars havedocumented curriculum and pedagogy intended to develop lifelong learning skills in students,assessment methods are typically short-term. On the other hand, studies of alumni have providedsome insight into career trajectories and workplace learning, but rarely connect these outcomesback to undergraduate experiences.To span these broad and complex concepts, we are

Now is a good time to re-enforce the difficulties in measuring instantaneous velocity and its uncertainties (physics) compared to the precision in mathematics that is contained in the derivative as a limit (mathematics). On the other hand, this is also a good time to acknowledge that there are many ways to define the derivative as a limit, and that these ways arise naturally in science and engineering, for example, the limit of forward differences (standard definition), the limit of backward differences (more natural in the computation of average speed), and the limit of centered differences (a natural way to measure slopes).The outline
