SUNY system worked with the New YorkState Governor's office to allocate budget funds to each campus, and a SUNY Applied LearningSteering Committee was created in 2015. This committee, comprising members of theUniversity Faculty Senate, Distinguished Faculty, SUNY Student Assembly representatives, andsystem administration staff, was tasked with developing specific guidance to campuses abouthow to proceed in developing applied learning plans.

)concepts, with a focus on practical applications in robotics and automation. Instead of diving deep intocomplex mathematics or programming, the module emphasizes the use of accessible AI tools, such ascomputer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), and reinforcement learning (RL), to solveengineering problems. By embedding the module into the robotics curriculum, students gain hands-onexperience applying AI to real-world challenges, preparing them for AI-driven roles in engineering. Thispaper details the design and implementation of the module, explores the challenges of adapting AIeducation for MET students, and discusses strategies to bridge gaps in their technical knowledge. We alsooutline an assessment plan for evaluating student

work involved a trip near a wind farm where sounds generated from the wind turbinescould be collected using an outdoor microphone and sound level meter recording device. Thestudents and advisors met with a local resident who acted as a guide to help identify locationswhere wind turbine noises could be collected. The students made decisions about where and howto set up the equipment, and they documented the details about the measurement site and weatherconditions. This data was collected specifically for use as samples in the psychoacoustic studythat the students were helping to plan and were responsible for completing. Upon return tocampus, the students downloaded the wind farm noise samples and identified and classifiedsamples that contained

Labs offered hands-on experience with sensors, requiringdetailed lab reports. Projects involved building two medical device prototypes, allowing studentsto apply theoretical knowledge to practical designs. Project evaluation focused on creativity,fabrication quality, device performance, user interface simulation, measurement accuracy, anddemonstration clarity.The course development process took 12 months, including one month of pre-planning, sixmonths to secure expert commitments, and five months for content finalization.Challenges and Future WorkThe development process faced several

Student feedback wasactively solicited during the pilot offering, and an analysis of these comments is provided,alongside incremental and future improvements planned for the course.The course is defined as a 3-hour credit graduate course offered as an elective. One creditcorresponds to 9 hours of work per week including lecture time. The course planning consists oftopic identification, material selection, pedagogic form, course realization, and courseevaluation. This course is currently in its pilot offering so no past evaluation can be discussed.The primary learning goals are represented by the lesson objectives as seen in Table 1 - CourseStructure and ContentMotivation

Bowen IndustryResidency Initiative, which allowed them to work closely with a multinational constructioncompany on a major medical center expansion project. The internship spanned various aspects ofthe project, including safety management, pre-construction planning, communication strategies,and business development. The paper emphasizes the immediate benefits of this internship, suchas deeper insights into modern construction technologies, safety protocols, and projectmanagement practices. It also discusses the long-term impact, which extends to curriculumimprovements in

In this action research, an enhancedassessment as learning was utilized to teach engineering students basic tenants of contract reviewwhile emphasizing the learning objective and student outcomes necessary for success in anengineering course. The assessment in this study included questions prefaced with basicdefinitions. Students acquired minimal knowledge from reading the question and then respondingappropriately by utilizing the information contained in the course syllabus.

usethese sources of evidence appropriately.As a follow-up to the survey, faculty engaged in an open-ended discussion of each of the sourcesof evidence above to determine which ones might be misunderstood, to hear positive andnegative experiences, and to solidify which sources should be prioritized in a holistic teachingevaluation plan for the department. Of interest from the survey results are evaluation strategiesfor which faculty have high opinions of their value but low use in practice. This points to theneed for guidance on how to implement those strategies. In addition, evaluation strategies thathad consistently high utilization would be ideal candidates for the development of standardizedtemplates and procedures so that any faculty member

Thus, in this paper, we questionwhether students will effectively build such skills on their own, using an evaluative questionnairemeant to similarly evoke self-determination theory structures, recognizing that studentimplementation may be more naturally adaptive and therefore better [4].Katsaris and Vidakis [5] emphasize the importance and efficiency of the
