Two options were available: A.) research uses and applications ofPDAs, specifically Palm applications that have been developed for construction management andengineering or B.) research uses and applications of PDAs, specifically Palm applications that have beendeveloped for academic (i.e., student learning) purposes (and could possibly be adopted and usedwithin the CME program). The students were required to attend bimonthly meetings and to submit twowritten reports, an interim report due at the end of the Fall Semester and a final report at the end of theSpring Semester.

At the end of the semester, the finished ROVs competed in a series of underwaterevents in the Rowan swimming pool and also performed a field exploration in a local pond.In recent years, robots and various kinds of ROVs are becoming increasingly popular inscientific research, education and public entertainment. To many people, they have becomealmost the hallmark of modern engineering and technology, especially the “real” tangiblepart of the field. Among the various ROVs, we chose the underwater ROV to be the subjectof our new hands-on project based course since its skill level is proper for undergraduateeducation and its operation is manageable within the scope
left in the capable hands of educational researchers—the focus of this paper is onpedagogic applications of the ARS in engineering education. An emphasis is placed onleveraging the inherent advantages of the ARS to overcome obstacles faced in particular by newengineering educators. Four applications of the ARS are discussed. These applications are usingthe ARS to: survey students to determine their preferences on course administration; solicitingstudents for formative feedback on teaching; assessing students’ mastery of subject matter; andincreasing interaction in teaching new subject matter.This paper is arranged as follows. In Section 2 an overview of state-of-the-art ARS technology isprovided. In Section 3 through Section 6, four

In addition, freshmen Honors Program studentstake a research mentorship course in the spring of their first year. A group of Honors engineering andscience majors are working to create K-12 activities based on engineering context. They are working withthe education majors in the course previously mentioned in order to create standards-based, age-appropriate activities. Engineering and education faculty and students, working in teams, through thecourses mentioned and the mentorship program, have developed activities that bring authentic learning inengineering contexts to science, mathematics, and technology education. Examples of such standards-based activities
learning. Although results from studies about the use of teamwork activities inclassrooms do not show that teams alone enhance students’ performance, they still mention thatsuch activities allow students to learn how to work in teams4,7,8. In an effort to understand why teamwork is not effective when trying to enhancestudents’ performance, educational researchers have found that there are diverse factors affectingthe dynamic of teaming in the process of teaching and learning. Factors such as the method ofinstruction used by teachers 9,10,11,12 student’s preference for teaching methods13, learningstyles14, grades as team reward5, team composition15, team longevity18, and attitude towardteamwork19 have been identified as influencing the

This work aims to explore how immersive technologies will be akey tool in addressing the workforce gap highlighted by the CHIPS Act, while also makingsemiconductor education more accessible.IntroductionThe semiconductor industry plays a major role in technologies that we rely on every day. Asnew advancements push the boundaries of what is possible, the U.S. faces the challenge ofdeveloping a workforce capable of supporting this rapid growth.

, there is now considerable research being conducted on utilizingthe affordances of VR in higher education. A properly designed VR-based learning environmentcan engage students not only cognitively but also affectively and behaviorally. This paperprovides details of the process of developing VR lessons for introductory level undergraduatecourses in STEM disciplines. The lessons were prepared using a web-based VR developmentenvironment. Some challenges in developing these lessons were identified, and are shared. Theimpact of the VR lessons on students’ perceptions and attitudes was analyzed using self-reporteddata that were gathered through surveys. The results of the data analysis are included.IntroductionThe use of virtual reality (VR) is
