Project Final ReportAbstractRecently, educators have worked to improve STEM education at all levels, but challengesremain. Capitalizing on the appeal of robotics is one strategy proposed to increase STEMinterest. The interdisciplinary nature of robots, which involve motors, sensors, and programs,make robotics a useful STEM pedagogical tool. There is also a significant need for industrialcertification programs in robotics. Robots are increasingly used across industry sectors toimprove production throughputs while maintaining product quality. The benefits of robotics,however, depend on workers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existingrobots, enhance future technologies, and educate users. It is critical that education

Particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields, traditional lecturing has indicated a 55% increase in failure rates of undergraduate students,compared to active learning methods [1]. Furthermore, active learning has proven to significantlyenhance students’ examination performance and educational achievements compared to passivelearning [1, 2]. In Biomedical Engineering (BME), active learning can be incorporated throughvarious techniques such as problem- and project-based learning [3]. Such approaches lead studentsto a deeper and more efficient retention of new concepts. Moreover, these methods
