, and working on communication skills [24],[25].As research discussed that undergraduate researchers could engage in their lived experiences formore authentic interpretations of data, we engaged our lived experiences, especially bothundergraduate researchers, through the writing of positionality statements. Positionalitystatements have been a growing phenomenon in engineering education research as part of theefforts to uncover researchers’ preconceived notions that can shape how they conduct theirresearch [26]. By reflecting on their positionalities, Alshanti and Thu as undergraduateresearchers engage their lived experiences as engineering students to interpret instructors’ beliefsand behaviors on test usage. This becomes the foundation of this

Furthermore, the officers decided to refrain from explicitly stating these learninggoals to the participants, but they did allude to goals using the rulesets and objectives given.After the competition, the officers always held an open discussion among the teams to reflect andshare their experiences, challenges, growths, and key takeaways.

supervisors in the VM setup exist on thesame machine and the communication delay between them is little compared to having twodifferent Raspberry Pi’s to communicate. This communication and processing delay add up tothe latencies and we can see these reflections in Figure 3a and Figure 3b. a) Virtual Machine (VM) b) Raspberry Pi Testbed Figure 3 Workload Distribution ComparisonConclusionFrom the overall experience of iEDGE, we conclude that such an initiative for engaging next-generation engineers and scientists in hands-on implementation plays a pivotal role in bridgingthe disconnect between theoretical knowledge and practical application.

, I faced a steep learning curve. Reflecting on this experience, Ibelieve observing my own physics professors’ teaching strategies would help me refine myapproach. Also, having a physics instructor observe my teaching and provide constructivecomments and feedback could be invaluable. The feedback would allow me to identify areas forimprovement and refine my pedagogical methods. Together, these steps will guide thedevelopment of a more cohesive and impactful curriculum for future iterations of the camp. Infuture camps, we aim to assess the impact on students’ comprehension and application of QKDby using pre- and post-camp questionnaires and analyzing results with Welch’s t-test.ConclusionThe three-week quantum summer camp introduced college
reflects the constraints of natural convection, whereairflow is driven only by buoyancy forces.In contrast, forced convection dramatically improved heat transfer performance, as evidenced bythe significant decrease in thermal resistance with increasing airspeed. This enhancementunderscores the critical role of airflow in effective thermal management for high-powerelectronic systems.This experiment provided students with a comprehensive understanding of heat sinkperformance under varying conditions. The hands-on analysis reinforced theoretical principles,particularly the relationship between airspeed and thermal resistance. By combining natural andforced convection studies, this laboratory module enables students to connect heat transferconcepts to
