“…Studies in the field of robotics have shown that using robotics in the classroom provides students with a real-world project-based framework that supports not only the interdisciplinary study of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but also the interdisciplinary study of other disciplines such as computer coding and computational thinking (CT) skills (Ching et al, 2019;Hussin et al, 2019;Janke et al, 2022;Plaza et al, 2019). CT idea was first put forth by Wing (2006), who described it as a set of skills that "involves solving problems, building systems, and understanding human behavior, by relying on the core notions of computer science.…”

It is becoming increasingly vital for the next generation of students to acquire problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative skills for them to be successful in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. The use of technology greatly bolsters the integration of these skills. Robotics, one of the many emerging arrays of technologies, presents learners with challenges and opportunities for developing innovative ideas, critical thinking, and higher-order thinking skills. As a result, the Ministry of Education in Dubai realized these potentials and took an essential step in the form of the distribution of Lego Mindstorms Education kits to schools with the goal of encouraging teachers to use these kits in their classrooms. This research study aimed to investigate teachers’ perceptions of a training on Lego Mindstorms in terms of content, methodology, activities, and recommendations. In addition, the study investigated how teachers perceived Lego Mindstorms based on TAM model. A total of 59 high school (cycle 2) teachers participated in the current study. The data from the teachers were collected using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data analysis consists of descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Teachers showed positive perceptions of robotics integration, emphasizing its potential to enhance teaching and learning. Their willingness to learn and adapt, combined with their recommendations for enhanced training methods, highlights the importance of continuous professional development for effective robotics integration. Teachers expressed the need for more practical training, hands-on activities, and a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. A positive correlation between perceived learning usefulness, perceived teaching usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitudes, and teachers’ intention to use Lego Mindstorms in their future teaching was found.

This chapter aims to establish an approach for IVHM requirements elucidation. A meticulous literature study served as the bedrock of this research, offering critical insights into existing methodologies and challenges in IVHM for UAS. Leveraging this knowledge, the study innovatively introduced the IVHM-RD method, a culmination of extensive data analysis. This approach not only grounded the study in established theories but also pushed the boundaries of understanding in IVHM, ushering in transformative possibilities for UAS design. This method consolidates diverse stakeholder demands through extensive data analysis, resulting in a prioritized set of IVHM requirements. The study's innovative approach, bridging the gap between theory and practice, promises transformative implications for UAS design processes.
