obtaining a formal diagnosis can be costly and time-consuming, disproportionately affecting underrepresented groups [3]. Students from lessprivileged backgrounds are less likely to have used accommodations in high school and mayhave experienced less parental advocacy [4]. This can combine with other underrepresentedidentities to increase inequity. Students may be unsure what accommodations they shouldrequest. Disability offices may be understaffed’ and some faculty may resist providingaccommodations for a variety of reasons [5].There is a difference between accommodations to level the playing field and interventions toteach skills or scaffolding to achieve maximum potential. Interventions such as executivefunction coaching have been shown in some

The study also suggested an improvement in engineering identity.While the initial version of AesDes performed as intended, many aspects of the course havechanged over the last eight years due to student feedback, among other factors. Among thesechanges are the following: the class is now taught by only one instructor instead of several, thecourse is taught during the spring semester (16 weeks) instead of the Maymester session (3 weeks),and general shifts in lecture content. The pandemic also necessitated a reduction in teaminteractions. Because of these changes, the question is now posed, “does AesDes still providestudents with the benefits despite variations in course structure and motivations for studentenrollment?” To answer

emphasize the importance of creativity, teamwork, andsocietal impact in engineering curricula. By uniting technical and human-centered competencies,the program offers a promising model for adapting engineering education to meet the evolvingneeds of students and the profession. The program’s efforts to embed human-centered designacross project-based courses represent a forward-thinking approach to engineering education. Bybuilding on established best practices and addressing persistent challenges, the initiative providesa framework for equipping future engineers with the technical expertise, empathy, and problem-solving skills required to navigate and influence an increasingly complex world.3.

throughout the program’s curriculum to complete a design project. This paperinvestigates the ongoing work of restructuring a traditional one-semester, 3-credit springcapstone experience in materials science and engineering into a two-semester fall (1-credit) andspring (2-credit) experience. During the restructuring of the capstone experience, the Human-Centered Design (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages,was integrated into the course content. Due to course catalog constraints, a 1-credit fall coursewas piloted in Fall 2022 as an elective for seniors (enrollment was approximately 30% of thesenior population); the traditional 3-credit course was still required of all seniors in Spring 2023.Aspects of HCD were

The remaining lab sessions are problem-solving sessions,covering topics such as vector operations, forces along a line and free body diagrams, momentcomputations, rigid body equilibrium, truss analysis, machinery and frames, internal forces,drawing internal force diagrams, and moment of inertia. In addition to regular lecture classes,students have opportunities to tackle more Statics problems and ask questions to the StudentInstructor (SI) and the faculty instructor freely.Student ReceptionThe lab session enables students to spend more time tackling Statics problems and workingcollaboratively as a team. It fosters a more interactive environment, free from the pressure
addition to technical skills,efforts must be towards imparting critical skills such as analytical thinking, creativity, andflexibility and calls attention to the lack of effectiveness of conventional schooling models,promoting experiential learning and life-long learning skills as strategic necessities fororganisations. This view highlights the need for pioneering learning methods in fulfilling thechanging demands of Industry 4.0 [5]. While existing research emphasises the effectiveness of PjBL in stimulating individuallearning improvement, there exists a significant vacuum of its being implemented in theprofessional upskilling programmes addressed to organisational contexts [4] [3]. Such researchis exclusively dedicated to undergraduates
questions from these two classes are notstatistically different.Due to the lack of individual responses to the survey questions from the CS survey results, thestatistical analysis regarding the internal consistency and difference between classes cannot beconducted regarding the CS courses.

Aside from the technical feasibility ofthe design project, engineering students are also forced to consider business feasibility,environmental impacts, social, political, and ethical implications, manufacturability, andunintended consequences.The design experience, where students are tasked to solve this design challenge, must beintegrated with design learning, where students have the opportunity to learn and practice how toeffectively design a solution that meets multiple objectives and constraints. Learning how todesign is imperative for a successful design project, yet the teaching of design remainschallenging [3]. Project-based learning (PBL), where teams of students are set upon a designproject, has been

Localization played animperative part and affected the excitement of the user to use the learning environment.Negative impacts of GEs: Despite the fact that there is more weight on positive outcomes,there is some negative effect of gamification on students. Barata showed that some studentsdid not find the gamified learning activity engaging and enthusiasm for utilizing the platformdiminished after two or three days [14]. Additionally, Auvinen reported that neither badgesnor heat maps influenced the behavior of majority of the students [3]. Haaranen indicated thatbadges had an exceptionally negative impact on a student that he “died internally” every timehe saw the badges [16].Quality
