exploits the power of on-line technologies to enable engineering –more generally, STEM– students to develop thoroughunderstanding of technical topics through collaborative learning. Our approach, as we show, has anumber of important advantages over most approaches to face-to-face collaborative learning. Wehave implemented a prototype web app, CONSIDER, based on our approach and used it in twoComputer Science and Engineering courses: a graduate level theory of programming languagescourse, and an undergrad principles of programming languages course. It was very well received,with 15 out of 22 students in the grad course, and 13 out of 21 students in the undergrad courseindicating, in a post-discussion survey, that the approach provided them a better

Additional areas include a store where points can be redeemed, a pet house where children can adopt companions, and a playground where they can interact with other players and their pets, making the learning experience both social and rewarding.IntroductionToday’s children are digital natives, growing up immersed in technology. Generation Alpha,born from 2010 to mid-2025, seamlessly integrates technology into their daily lives [1].Platforms like the Roblox Studio, a popular online game with more than 35.5 million dailyusers (including approximately 8 million children under 9 [2]), showcase this trend [2]. WhileRoblox offers immense potential for learning, many similar

Afterthe students are satisfied with the signal handling ability of their circuitry they can then exporttheir Multisim file to UltiBoard and render an actual printed circuit design.This combination of tools allows us to create an extremely functional classroom environment ina compact space. Furthermore it allows the students to effectively work through all areas ofdesign from mathematical analysis to simulation, testing, and final hardware implementation.Fundamentals 1The first offering of Fundamentals 1 provided a significant learning experience for
. The literature onETH activities among grassroots communities emphasizes the design and use of technology forachieving social and economic development within such communities. Consequently, grassrootscommunity members are conceptualized as socially and economically marginalized stakeholderswhose primary relationship to the scholarly community is as potential users rather than asdesigners or developers of useful technology and technical knowledge.Recognizing the generative potential of knowing requires engineering education researchers toconceptualize how differences originate in situated claims to knowledge. From a generativeperspective, knowledge claims of grassroots community members are viewed as communicativepractices associated with
potentialinfluences, and some students may be uncertain about what constitutes academic integrity andwhat constitutes plagiarism if they are new to the English language and or western educationalstandards.[1, 18] In summary, the reasons for plagiarism are many and complex.[9]Engineering educators may debate the relevance of plagiarism to the practice of engineeringtoday. The reality is that many master of science degree programs in engineering fields rely onthe development of technical and problem solving skills in their respective curriculum. As aresult, students may not be required to develop and refine writing or research skills. Often, theprimary objective most masters programs at the Case Study University, is securing full-timeemployment. Because of the

. 1IntroductionSelf-efficacy, or the belief in one's ability to succeed in specific tasks, plays a crucial role inshaping student outcomes in challenging educational programs such as in engineering.Undergraduate civil engineering students are often confronted with rigorous theoretical conceptsand complex problem-solving scenarios, which can undermine their confidence if not adequatelysupported by practical learning experiences. Self-efficacy influences not only a student'smotivation and persistence but also their ability to approach difficult subjects with resilience andconfidence [1]. This is particularly vital in civil engineering education, where a combination ofanalytical proficiency and hands-on skills are crucial for academic success and future
processes requires acommitment beyond technical excellence2,16. Designers must also produce solutions that worksafely, effectively, and efficiently. Petroski17 popularized the complexity of designing for humanbeings, demonstrating that it is not enough to design within the system of an engineer’s personalethics or technical capability. An ethical designer must also consider the human use of theirsolutions. To consider the complexity of real-world use requires empathy on the part of theengineer or technologist, and indeed, empathy has been mentioned as an important component ofbeing a successful practitioner9,18,19. While there is now general agreement that empathy is adesirable—if not crucial—characteristic of engineering practitioners9, we do not
