I am pleased to share that I attended the 2024 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference & Exposition in Portland, Oregon. This marked my third year participating in the ASEE conference, and it proved to be an incredibly fruitful and exciting experience. I had the opportunity to network with the engineering education community and was honored to receive two Best Paper Awards from two different ASEE Divisions.

During the conference, I had the privilege of delivering two presentations: "Teaching Manufacturing Assembly Processes Using Immersive Mixed Reality," co-authored with Dr. Farid Breidi and Dr. Faisal Aqlan, and "Mixed Reality as a Teaching Tool for Improving Spatial Visualization in Engineering Students," co-authored with Dr. Farid Breidi, Dr. Faisal Aqlan, Dr. Jose Garcia, and Dr. Paul Asunda. I also presented a poster under NSF Grantees and served as a moderator for a Technical Session in the Industrial Engineering Division.

I am thrilled to announce that our first paper, "Teaching Manufacturing Assembly Processes Using Immersive Mixed Reality," received the 2024 ASEE Manufacturing Division Best Paper Award. Additionally, our second work, "Mixed Reality as a Teaching Tool for Improving Spatial Visualization in Engineering Students," received the 2024 ASEE Industrial Engineering (IE) Division Best Paper Award.

Both works are NSF-funded, highlighting the potential of Mixed Reality (MR) technology as an innovative and engaging tool for teaching manufacturing assembly processes and enhancing spatial visualization skills in engineering students.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Farid Breidi, for his extended support and guidance. I also extend my congratulations to him for receiving the New IE Investigator Award for the work “Mixed Reality as a Teaching Tool for Improving Spatial Visualization in Engineering Students.”
