education, many students are choosing to transfer between institutions due to variousreasons, such as financial considerations, educational goals, career aspirations and so on. It hasbeen widely acknowledged that providing academic support to transfer students is a challengingtask due to the complexity of the transfer process and students’ background. Based on the study ofthe mechanics of the transfer process, we have gained a better understanding of the root cause ofthe challenge.As the transfer process can be treated as a computable problem, we proposed a tree data structurethat can represent the degree requirements of academic program. To study the complexity of thetransfer process, we formally defined the Optimal Transfer Pathway (OTP) Problem

Uponcompletion of this course, students should be sufficiently versed in robotics to support career rolesin a broad range of industries related to robotics. The course provides an introductory foundationthat should support further in-depth study of fundamental robotics technologies.Assessment methods Given the aforementioned circumstances that combined into thedevelopment of this graduate-level course, several assessment methods were considered topromote student engagement

This gap between college preparation and career demands isparticularly evident in the engineering field, where technical knowledge is prioritized over softskills like creativity, innovation, leadership, management, and teamwork [3]. Moreover, the shiftfrom traditional instruction to skill-based curricula has gained momentum in educational settingsto center the learner in education.
