Several teams were required to improvise and troubleshootas an error was made in assembly or different pieces than advertised were included in their kits. Following assembly, the students were asked to use the NXT brick, the „brain‟ of the robot, tocreate a simple program. The NXT brick‟s have object-oriented programming capability thatallows five commands to be programmed and executed. After familiarization with theprogramming language of the Mindstorm, the students were asked to investigate some of thesensors included in the kit by following instructions on connecting the sensors properly andverifying their correct operation. The integration of the sensors into their projects

A significant amount of theoreticalcontent is covered in the course, and typical example and homework problems have fairly weakconnections to real-world problems. Because concepts presented without contextualization orapplication have little meaning to students [9], the project was developed to provide ameaningful student-centered learning experience, which has been shown to better anchorknowledge and

The seminar aspect of the laboratory class isideal for this purpose in that it allows for presentation and discussion of underlying conceptsonly to the extent students require for a particular hands-on laboratory exercise. Accordingly,exercises are designed so that students do not have to understand theoretical concepts to anygreat extent before working with their applications.Since computers intrinsically involve electronics, the first laboratory exercises investigateelectronics principles. These exercises serve as experiential validation of basic direct-current(DC) circuit theory introduced in the

Additionally, most processes have strict performance requirements, such as short-time delays and high reliability. When designing and deploying security solutions, balancing those requirements with the potential impacts of security and resilience goals must be carefully considered. • In most industries, OT/ICS/IIoT technologies are mixed and connected with other IT technologies, and business applications, creating complexity that offers multiple opportunities for threat actors to initiate and propagate an attack.Since OT/ICS often involves integration and interaction with physical processes

Although the research in areas such as edge computing holds a lot of potentialfor real-world applications, its integration into engineering education remains marginalized dueto lack of curriculum alignment, lack of resources for faculty training, and industry-academiadisconnect. This study bridges the gap by investigating the suitability of hands-onexperimentation with edge computing frameworks to enhance

Afterstudents in the experiment group completed two projects with additional feedback on their testcases, they completed a final project without the additional feedback. Despite not receivingadditional feedback, their test cases were of higher quality, exposing on average 5% more buggysolutions than students from the control group.
