A robotics-focusededucational framework offers myriad advantages, for example: i) engaging participants in active learning;ii) providing kinesthetic experiences in teaching and learning; iii) permitting students to visualize andcomprehend abstract content knowledge in a concrete and tangible manner; iv) motivating learnersintrinsically and extrinsically; and v) improving the overall learning environment, learning satisfaction,learning of disciplinary content, and learning/teaching outcomes [8,9]. Considering these advantages ofrobotics-aided teaching and learning, application of robotics in STEM education has gained intense interestfrom educators, policy makers, and teaching administrators

struggling to recruit competent workers due to a workforce decline of 30% in 1960, 14%decline as recently as early 2000, and approximately 10% decline in recent years. A significantreason for this drop is an increased reliance on technology in modern manufacturing. The challengeof identifying and recruiting talents to manage these technologies has affected employers. Toaddress this need, engineering educators must devise innovative, fun, and engaging ways ofhelping students to understand the concepts of Industry 4.0 and obtain the required skills. Project-based and experiential learning is proven to be effective in assisting students to gain a deeperunderstanding of subject matter via engaging in solving challenging factual problems. This

Our review of the literature paired with our personal experiencessuggest that there are several factors that affect these three aspects of graduate student identitydevelopment. First, students are more likely to develop a stronger graduate student identity when theyfeel more competent in their disciplinary and writing skills (Burt, 2014). In a study thatinvestigated the impact writing had on graduate student identity, graduate students shared thatthey often feel ashamed of their work and compare themselves to their peers (Del Toro, 2017).Students were afraid to share their work in

In antebellum America, colleges were small, with several hundred students beingviewed as a large enrollment. The antebellum college usually offered just one degree, a B.A.degree, which was implemented by a lock-step curriculum focused on classical studies.(Science was a recent addition.)

The wide spread of student backgrounds has been botha challenge and an opportunity. The diversity of student backgrounds can be properlyexploited to lead to a rich learning community where less experienced students learn fromseasoned practitioners, who themselves learn by teaching.
