PBLoffers a promising solution by pairing real-world applications with ethical discussions, enablingstudents to grasp abstract AI concepts and understand their societal implications. Effective AIpedagogy involves hands-on activities like PBL that allow students to engage with real-worldproblems, fostering critical thinking and collaboration [3].An interdisciplinary approach of integrating AI education into existing curricula, rather thanreplacing current subjects demonstrates the practical relevance of AI skills, prepares students toapply them effectively in diverse, real-world contexts and future workplaces

By using physical2D drawings as markers, the application allows users to intuitively access and interact with 3Dmodels within the AR environment. This setup provides a seamless user experience, as users cansimply point their device at a drawing, which then serves as a reference point, to explore andmanipulate the 3D rebar model with ease.

However, its steep learning curve poses significant challenges for students and instruc-tors alike. Traditional lecture-only teaching methods often fall short in helping students graspabstract concepts such as object-oriented programming (OOP), polymorphism, and generics.To address these challenges, we propose a teacher-guided, project-based coding practice.

made based on the fact that although engineering has many definitions in theliterature, all of them point to a common description. Engineering is basically the application ofmathematics and science to solve society’s real life problems. Design is a, or perhaps the, keyaspect of engineering. This is exactly why engineering students have to take severalmathematical courses that can be as high as four or even more at some institutes. They have totake other courses in natural sciences like physics, chemistry, geology, and even biology in somecases, as well. They also must take courses in social sciences. The purpose of such requirementsis to have a body of knowledge in mathematics and science extensive enough to apply in theirengineering courses

In engineering, senior design courses focus on the use of the EDP to develop solutions tocomplex problems. However, students frequently overlook the importance of the early stages ofthe EDP, eager to jump directly into product implementation.This paper describes an EDP exercise implemented with freshman electrical and computerengineering students, aimed at emphasizing the value of the early stages of the EDP, as well asteamwork and communication skills. The primary objective was for students to collaborate inteams and apply the EDP to address a real-world problem. The exercise spanned two weeks: thefirst week
