In this study, experimental teaching was conducted through the artificial intelligence of things (AIOT) practical course, and the 4D (discover, define, develop, deliver) double diamond shape was used to design the course and plan the teaching content to observe the students’ self-efficacy and learning anxiety. The technology acceptance model (TAM) concept was used to explore learning effectiveness and satisfaction. A total of 36 Senior One students from a senior high school in Kaohsiung were selected as the research subjects in two classes per week for 13 weeks. Questionnaires and qualitative interviews were used to understand the correlation between students’ self-efficacy, anxiety, outcomes, and learning satisfaction with the AIOT course during the flipped learning process. The study used SmartPLS3 to analyze the measurement model and structural model, and bootstrapping to conduct the path analysis and validate the research hypotheses. Because this research provides students with relevant online teaching videos for linking and browsing in the textbooks, and the video time should not be too long, in the teaching process, small-scale online learning courses are adopted for flipped teaching, which promptly arouses students’ interest and enhances their learning participation. Through the sharing of homework with each other, its content deficiencies were modified, students’ anxiety in learning was reduced, and the effect of learning and thinking together was achieved; in the teaching mode, theoretical content was combined with physical and practical courses to implement cross-disciplinary. To learn, the principle of 4D double diamond design to make “reciprocal corrections” between curriculum planning and teaching implementation as the teaching model framework was used. The results of this study show ”self-efficacy” has a significant positive effect on the “perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use” of users. “Learning anxiety” does not significantly predict the “perceived ease of use” or “perceived usefulness” of flipped learning using online e-learning. The “perceived ease of use” and “perceived usefulness” have positive impacts on the prediction of “behavioral intention” in flipped teaching using online digital teaching materials. The “perceived ease of use” has a positive and high impact on “perceived usefulness”. “Learning engagement” positively affects students’ actual “behavioral intention” towards learning. Students are highly receptive to learning new knowledge about science and technology.

The purpose of this study is to explore the application of VR (virtual reality) technology to assist the development of VR welding courses in welding practice teaching, and to implement experimental teaching to verify its effectiveness. The preliminary VR welding curriculum structure was developed by this study according to the results of literature review and focus group interviews, the student-based “VR welding course” was developed, and 34 first-year students of the electric welding practice course were taken as the research subjects to implement experimental teaching and case study. The qualitative and quantitative research and analysis results are as follows. (1) The results of the final test of the welding practice of most students are significantly higher than the results of the mid-term test. (2) Most students expressed significant positive affirmation of the learning effect of the VR-assisted welding course. (3) Most students were very significantly positive regarding their learning satisfaction with the VR-assisted welding teaching course. (4) The four major implementation priorities of VR welding courses were planned. This study develops a “teaching mode of a welding implementation course assisted by virtual reality technology”, which can provide students with a safe, low-cost, repeatable, and sustainable welding skills learning environment, and has been positively affirmed by most students. In the future, the results of this study can provide reference for the introduction of virtual-reality-assisted teaching of welding related courses in various universities of science and technology, in order to strengthen teachers’ teaching ability in VR assisted implementation courses and provide students with more diversified learning stimuli.

It is acknowledged that the Maker movement has raised up a revolution at developing our future manufacturing and economy. So, it is significant that the current empirical studies of Maker

This study proposes a low-cost, automatic, wide-area real-time water pipeline monitoring model based on Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology, aiming to solve the challenges faced in the context of global water pipeline management. This model focuses on real-time monitoring of pipeline operations to reduce water waste and improve management efficiency, directly contributing to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Water resource management faces several significant global challenges, including water scarcity, inefficient resource utilization, and infrastructure degradation. Traditional water pipeline monitoring systems are often manual, time-consuming, and unable to detect leaks or failures in real time, leading to significant water loss and financial costs. In response to these issues, NB-IoT technology offers a promising solution with its advantages of low power consumption, long-range communication, and cost-effectiveness. The development of an NB-IoT-based smart water pipeline monitoring system is therefore essential for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of water resource management. Through enabling real-time monitoring and data collection, this system can address critical issues in global water management, reducing waste and supporting the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This model utilizes Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technology, combined with an LTE mobile network and ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, to achieve long-distance multi-sensor data collection and monitoring. The research results show that NB-IoT technology can effectively improve water resource management efficiency, reduce water waste, and is of great significance for the digital transformation of infrastructure and the development of smart cities. This technical solution not only supports “Goal 6: Clean Drinking Water and Sanitation” in the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs) but also promotes the realization of low-cost teaching aids related to engineering education-related information and communication technologies (ICTs). This study demonstrates the key role of ICTs in promoting sustainable development and provides a concrete practical example for smart water resource management.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impacts of “positive emotions” through the App Inventor 2 Ship Fuel-Saving Project on the “positive emotions literacy” and “ship fuel-saving literacy” of university students of the Engineering Department. In this study, 115 students were selected as the research object, experimental teaching was conducted in a group cooperative learning mode, and the positive emotional elements were integrated into the AI 2 Ship Fuel-Saving Project. The research conclusions were as follows. (1) The Blended teaching method and the mixed learning program of the “Positive AI 2 Fuel-Saving Project” provided students with diversified learning channels; (2) the Project presented significant positive affirmation for the improvement of students’ positive emotional literacy; (3) the Project resulted in significantly greater improvement of students’ fuel-saving literacy in the experimental group than in the control group; (4) students in the experimental group showed the best positive emotion with confidence in the learning process of the project; and (5) the “ship fuel-saving literacy” and “ship fuel-saving works achievement” of students in the experimental group showed a significantly high positive correlation. Finally, the “Positive AI 2 Fuel-Saving Project Teaching Mode” was constructed, which can be a reference for promoting the practical teaching of positive emotions and ship fuel-saving literacy in the future.
