Background: Much of researchers' efforts to foster wider implementation of educational innovations in STEM has focused on understanding and facilitating the implementation efforts of faculty. However, student engagement in blended learning and other innovations relies heavily on students' self-directed learning behaviors, implying that students are likely key actors in the implementation process. This paper explores the ways in which engineering students at multiple institutions experience the self-directed selection and implementation of blended learning resources in the context of their own studies.

- Understanding the brain poses challenges with limited effective treatments for brain disorders, highlighting the need for better training in neuroscience fields.
- Recent efforts have introduced neuroscience education in schools, but practical labs have focused mainly on anatomy rather than modern computational methods.
- The introduction of neurorobots in high school education can enhance learning by allowing students to explore neuroscience concepts hands-on, showing significant improvements in their understanding and confidence in the subject.
