Little work has been done toanalyze their gamification in terms of usability, game elements, etc.. In addition, in mostprevious studies, students are the end user, and only get involved in the final test to provide dataon motivation, engagement or learning outcomes. Under the circumstances, the followingquestions are left unaddressed: how to evaluate the effectiveness of a gamification product ineducation? What do students learn when they create and critique gamification products? Thispaper proposes a peer-based gamification critique process based on peer-developed gameproducts. We expect such a process will provide valuable feedback from

Thisprovides a means to not only introduce and familiarize students with the theoretical engineeringdesign process, but also to provide the opportunity to implement and field-test those designs in away that is informative and engaging for the student. Not only does the UAS itself provide aplatform for in-depth learning about various engineering disciplines (eg, power, computer, andaeronautical engineering), but the ability to integrate various payloads into the UAS provides

This gap highlights the need for enhancingentrepreneurship education in this field, considering the industry's demand for graduates whoare both technically skilled and entrepreneurially minded. This research explores theintegration of entrepreneurship into an Engineering Technology (ET) program, with a focus ona sustainable building course. It employs innovative educational strategies such as micro-moments, bisociation, virtual reality, entrepreneurial tasks, and a project-based approach todevelop real-world problem-solving skills. The effectiveness of this approach was assessedthrough a quantitative and qualitative survey to understand student perceptions. Findings revealstudents

complexity of the name, a large challenge is present in the lack of technicalstandards education research and engagement despite the known strategic value to society andindustry [2]. In some companies, technical standards education and engagement are shunned. Inothers, it is seen as a political process with an indeterminate outcome [3]. Therefore, employeesare discouraged from participating in the technical standards development process or are requiredto sacrifice their personal time to volunteer for such efforts [2]. This deterrence fromparticipation in the standards development and standardization process creates additionaleducational challenges for professionals and students
undertaken based on probabilistic andstatistical approaches to design and factors affecting design. Some have argued that currentundergraduate curricula greatly underemphasize the theory and application of probability andstatistics in engineering. (9) Research has revealed that people are generally prone to seriouserrors in probabilistic and statistical thinking, including neglect of prior probabilities,insensitivity to sample size, and misconceptions of regression. (10) The formal course work inprobability and statistics falls terribly short of exposing engineering students to variousencountered errors, e.g., systematic underestimation of uncertainty. Engineering educators areconcerned, and some have been working to alleviate the difficulties by
