Xiaodong Qu, Matthew Key, Eric Luo, Chuhui Qiu

This study explores the integration of real-world machine learning (ML) projects using human-computer interfaces (HCI) datasets in college-level courses to enhance both teaching and learning experiences. Employing a comprehensive literature review, course websites analysis, and a detailed case study, the research identifies best practices for incorporating HCI datasets into project-based ML education. Key f indings demonstrate increased student engagement, motivation, and skill development through hands-on projects, while instructors benefit from effective tools for teaching complex concepts. The study also addresses challenges such as data complexity and resource allocation, offering recommendations for future improvements. These insights provide a valuable framework for educators aiming to bridge the gap between
