The deficit in collaboration skills has serious consequences, including projectdelays, increased costs, and reduced work quality [2]. Moreover, the lack of formal trainingin teamwork skills, often relegated to practical experiences, further increases the likelihood ofconflicts and ineffective team management [3].The need to enhance teamwork and collaboration skills is evident in optimizing performancein academic projects and preparing students for the demands of the professional world [4].Collaborative and active methodologies that integrate theory and practice and

This systematized literature review aims toexplore how these agents are being integrated into current educational platforms and thesignificant impact engineering educators can have in advancing this innovation. By employingan extensive database search, abstract review of 275 articles, and full article review of 90articles, multiple researcher involvement, and both inductive and deductive thematic coding, thisreview reveals three main findings: (1) There has been a sharp increase in publications related toconversational agents over the past three years, indicating a growing interest in theirdevelopment and integration, primarily outside the United States, with Python being thedominant programming language for its prototyping

. 1INTRODUCTIONStudents enrolled in collegiate engineering programs often are required to take an entry-leveldesign course. These types of courses expose students to ill-structured complex design problems,where there is not one single method or solution and there is uncertainty about which rules orprinciples are necessary to use [1]. Research suggests that hands-on design-based project classesalso excite engineering students and motivate them to stay in an engineering program [2]. Ill-structured design problems-- as opposed to well-structured problems-- more closely mirror thework engineers perform outside of academia. To solve real-world problems, engineers mustgather information that is not readily available, decide on a process, and identify and

These objectivesare being achieved by an examination of literature dealing with the subject and by conducting astudents’ survey to assess their familiarity with automation and their perception of itsimportance. The following research questions were investigated in this study: 1) How is automation important in construction

And while remote and virtual learning tried to address the challenge of content delivery,hands-on laboratory experiences which provided authentic science inquiry for high schoolstudents were impossible to replace during the pandemic. Additionally, the valuable afterschooland summer programs that supplemented such in school training (e.g., science fairs, roboticscompetitions, Science Olympiad) were not available as well. Research tells us that suchexperiences are crucial to catalyze a high school students’ interest in STEM careers [1], [2].Even more detrimental is the fact that these activities are often identified as milestones forstudents who are college-bound

Engaging in volunteering, among adolescents, has been shown tocorrelate with enhanced social skills which enables them to connect with students of allbackgrounds and interests [2]. Volunteerism has also been linked to increased civic engagement[2], improved academic aptitude [3], as well as enhanced self-esteem and happiness in adults [4].Additionally, participating in volunteering activities related to one’s degree has shown to giveparticipants practical and applicable experiences that can benefit their career prospects [5].Persistence in and completion of baccalaureate STEM degrees has been shown to

These challenges areparticularly pronounced for undergraduate engineering students, who face academicallydemanding courses early in their studies. Achievement goals, resilience, and self-efficacy arepivotal in determining students’ academic success. Achievement goals refer to the underlyingmotivations driving students’ engagement with academic tasks, while resilience reflects theirability to recover from setbacks. Self-efficacy, defined as students’ belief in their capacity tosucceed, underpins their persistence and ability to overcome academic challenges [1-3].
