educational virtual reality game, the Design Review Simulator (DRS) with the aim to helpstudents build design review skills. The game was designed to challenge the students in findingand evaluating various types of design mistakes. In this paper, we discuss the development of thegame and frame it in light of the existing literature to further understand the value of VR in thedesign process. In addition to the development experience, we offer a plan for the implementationand evaluation of the game with an assessment instrument designed for the game.2. LITERATURE REVIEW2.1.

However, students also noted that they feltgenAI lacked the ability to maintain technical and scientific accuracy and content. We also sawreduced use of AI as a search engine and for answering questions about knowledge gaps. Thiscorresponded with an increase in students who had negative views and increased skepticism inthe technology (Table 3).4.1 An Emerging Split in Adoption of AI and Rejection of AIAt the end of the course, we see a polarization in the frequency of genAI use by students, with adiscernible shift towards both ends of the usage spectrum (Figure 1).

problem-solving techniques,educators have sought innovative methods to facilitate understanding. Among these methods, conceptmapping has emerged as a promising approach, particularly for the assessment of EM [8–10].Davies provides a summary of concept mapping software tools and features [11]. Kane and Trochim [12]explored concept mapping for planning and evaluation. Prior research indicates that concept maps can beused effectively as an educational tool to improve students' understanding in various disciplines, not onlyengineering. A summary of prior work in concept mapping is shown in Table 1.While prior studies have explored concept maps as an engineering tool, this research focuses on howconcept maps can be used to address the complexity of

An Effective Use of Short, Simple, Instructor-Made Videos in an Engineering CourseAbstractKeeping up with trends in technology use among students is always a challenge.

Second theyallow keeping social ties with people having similar professional interest and possiblyaccess to their extended network.

Governments, companies, schools, politicians, actors,and regular everyday people all engage in the use of social media for a variety of purposes,including advertising, promoting a message, mutual communication, and just to have a presencein cyberspace. Page 24.92.2The use of web-based technology by schools is varied. Aside from having a school web site thatserves as the school’s point of presence on the Internet, schools have made many of theirprocesses and information web-based. This includes things such as the school directory, librarysearches, school calendar, and even human resource management functions. In higher education,many

Thefollowing factors will be investigated in the study as a whole: socioeconomic background, healthissue, work load versus course load, enthusiasm in engineering, learning environment andconfidence in pre-engineering courses, and interaction with instructor. However, this paperfocuses on whether taking prerequisite courses at community college is academically morebeneficial for the students than taking them within the university.
