Effective warehousing models can optimizeinventory purchases, cut transportation expenses, and speed up delivery. In today’s businesslandscape, warehouses are vital for modern supply chains and business success, but developingnew layouts demands substantial capital, including construction costs (up to $950 per squaremeter), operational expenses, and safety systems [1]. Technologies such as augmented reality canoffer solutions and support warehouse optimization [2].Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that merges the physical and digital

In this paper, we describe amultidisciplinary course involving students from the college of engineering and the college ofdesign at a public university in the United States.

The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).

Since then, the SPECTRA program has provided financial support to nearlyone hundred undergraduate Scholars who are transfer students in the college. While the Scholars have consistently reported the SPECTRA program’s main sellingpoint is its monetary value, other evidence indicates that transfer scholars in STEM often havemyriad unmet needs beyond financial assistance [1]. Our research has shown this to be accurate;Scholars have demonstrated that their primary appreciation of the SPECTRA program camefrom a need for additional funding, but other aspects also contribute.
