“…This may be due to differences in disciplines and students’ training modes. The engineering students are good at theoretical subjects but lack thinking skills ( Kuo et al, 2021 ). However, the students majoring in arts need to study independently or cooperatively, and they need to pursue their own potential in learning, thus stimulating creativity.…”

“…For example, students’ learning motivation mainly focuses on material pursuit; as a result, schools, society, and families should guide students to avoid “money worship,” and at the same time give appropriate material rewards to improve students’ self-confidence, increase sense of security in learning, and maintain students’ enthusiasm. Besides, practical activities such as engineering experiments and social practice can also promote change in students’ learning motivation ( Kuo et al, 2021 ; NaderAl-Osaimi and Fawaz, 2022 ).…”

The study aimed to investigate the learning motivation of freshmen from a university in Northwest China, which can supply a reference for improving their learning quality and objectives. Data were collected from 800 freshmen of different majors with a learning motivation questionnaire. Differences in learning motivation between different majors, genders, regions, and students are studied. The results show that gender, seeking knowledge orientation, and material pursuit have significant effects on students’ learning motivation. The gender had a significant impact on personal achievement and the only child or not had an obvious effect on material pursuit, while other factors had no obvious difference in gender, regional, and only child or not, while other factors on the gender, regional, and whether the one-child had no obvious difference. According to the results of the research, measures to improve learning motivation are proposed. Our research results provide a reference for improving learning attitude and the quality of universities.

“…Creative thinking is an important skill needed for the modern workplace (Bielefeldt & Morse, 2019). Since robotics inherently demands creativity and requires investigation among several different methods to eventually come up with a solution (Eteokleous et al, 2020;Alimisis, 2013;Kuo et al, 2021), we have been assessing students' creative thinking capabilities sing fall 2028 using Project 3. After preparing students with fundamental knowledge and skills using lectures and the first two projects, the third project is dedicated towards solving possibly open-ended questions, thus providing an opportunity for students to practice their creative thinking skills.…”

This paper describes our course design approach that successfully transformed an undergraduate Robotics Technology course from in-person teaching to online guided by the TASKS model. Our course redesign process includes identifying conflicts, generating solutions, self-evaluation, and analyses of design solutions. We carefully balanced between Workload and students’ Affect, by designing comparable workloads as before, as well as maintaining students’ motivation similarly at the in-person level. Transforming this course consisting of lecture sessions and lab sessions with hardware and software elements yielded a set of course activities and teaching practices applicable to online teaching of other courses. When physical robots become unavailable, simulation projects were designed as alternatives and simulated versions of those physical projects used in face-to-face classroom. These simulation projects are in the areas of autonomous mobile robots, robotic manipulator, and advanced robotic control on MATLAB-ROS, respectively. Comparisons with past in-person results confirm that effective learning has been achieved remotely, having maintained student’s performance and motivation.

“…Several previous works have addressed the issue of REE, but experience and experimental reports on REE are scarce in the literature. Many works have reported different pedagogy to impart the knowledge of RE, SE, and DT to the students [5,7,8,18,19,24,45,46].…”

Teaching requirements engineering (RE) is one of the challenging parts of any software engineering (SE) education curriculum because it deals with understanding the problem from multiple perspectives and acquiring a holistic view of the system. Academicians have adopted several innovative approaches to teaching RE concepts to students, and design thinking (DT) is one of them. DT integrates the needs of people, technology, and requirements and can help learn and apply human‐centered techniques to solve problems. An experimental study is conducted with 315 undergraduate students to realize how they can learn the RE process effectively by combining DT methods with the RE concepts for an effective RE education. This study intends to identify how this integration help students in using multiple elicitation methods, better visualization and understanding of the system requirements, and achieving various teaching objectives. An experimental study was planned and executed with students by integrating DT methods for RE activities from the beginning of problem definition to the final solution. The evaluation was done by collecting students' responses to pre‐survey and post‐survey questions capturing the students' perspectives on the RE and DT techniques. The students' responses suggested that the DT drive RE activities to improve their learning, thinking abilities, engagement with the team, and teamwork. Additionally, the students' artifacts during the DT process have also been evaluated. The use of DT methods helped in understanding the elicitation process and, consequently, helped reach the solution.
