Theprevious version of the VCS has shown great potential in enhancing students’ motivation andbasic learning of dynamic construction concepts, traditionally acquired through practicalexperience. A new version has been developed utilizing the ADDIE (analyze, design, develop,implement, evaluate) framework for the design of instructional material. Through thedevelopment of the VCS4, we aim to illustrate how a rigorous analysis of cognitive models andtheories, instructional design guidelines for multimedia learning, fundamentals of humancomputer interaction theories, and 4D simulation

However, finding efficient and effectivetransfer pathways between institutions is challenging, particularly when accounting for programrequirements that are constantly changing, students changing their major plans, the creation of newcourses, etc. Crafting a suitable plan for transfer students demands expert knowledge, effort, andsometimes collaboration among multiple institutions. Managing all of this complexity manuallyis partly accountable for the credit loss issue mentioned above. In this paper we consider the rolethat data and analytics can play in addressing this problem.To gain a deeper understanding of this challenge, we first formally define the Optimal TransferPathway (OTP) problem, which involves finding a two-year to

The specific course learning outcomes are i) understand how robotic systems integratesensors, actuators, and control systems to achieve specific goals; ii) program Arduinomicrocontrollers and apply skills to develop an integrated robotic systems; iii) understand howdifferent type of motors such as stepper motors, dc motors work and measure and control theirspeed to build a robot that can navigate; iv
