. ABET’saccreditation criterion 3.h, which requires that students recognize ‘…the need for, and an abilityto engage in life-long learning’, codifies the importance of these skills.3Certainly, lifelong learning requires strong content knowledge. Without fundamental subjectknowledge, there is no foundation upon which to learn new concepts and skills. However, asABET and the National Academy of Engineering above have noticed, students need to acquireother skills in order to be successful. Shuman, Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty4 propose thatengineers undertaking lifelong learning need to ‘…demonstrate reading, writing, listening, andspeaking skills, demonstrate an awareness of what needs to be learned; follow a learning plan;identify, retrieve and organize

Notebooks enable students to write, execute,and visualize code, creating a dynamic environment that bridges theory with practice[10]. By experimentingwith real-time coding, students can observe the outcomes of their implementations, enhancing engagementand solidifying their comprehension.Python Libraries (e.g., NLTK, SpaCy): The framework, illustrated in Figure 1, uses Python libraries suchas

symbolic representationssupports, according to Bruner [6], generalization and abstraction by providing a developmentalpathway from specific concrete experiences to more idealized and abstract representations thatare central to STEM.Bruner’s developmental sequence, called concreteness fading, has substantial empirical support.At the epicenter of his work is the notion that actions—either physical and virtual—ground ourunderstanding of complex systems and learning to represent concepts iconically andsymbolically as ways for depicting and solving novel problems. Underlying the experientialaffordance of concrete manipulatives is that human perception fundamentally grounds ourunderstandings. In his seminal work, Barsalou posits that retinotopic
