Engineering Education, 2021 Quantifying the impact of students’ semester course load on their academic performanceAbstractStudents’ academic success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)careers is one of the most popular subjects that has gained attention among educationalresearchers for decades. Many studies have shown students’ educational outcomes can be affectedby academic factors including high school GPA, SAT score test, student admission type (transferor first-time-in-college), as well as demographic features such as gender, ethnicity, and familyincome. Additional studies have investigated the relationship between students’ course load andtheir academic outcomes. In this paper, we define

This paperpresents the details of a haptics project that our undergraduate computer engineering studentshave done in their senior capstone course.Background InformationUVU is a comprehensive regional university with over 40,000 students charged with servingUtah county, which is the second largest county in the state. UVU has a dual mission – that of acomprehensive university offering 91 bachelor’s degrees and 11 master’s degrees, and that of acommunity college offering 65 associate degrees and 44 certificates.Engineering and Computer Science DepartmentsTo meet one of the region’s most pressing workforce needs, UVU initiated three newengineering programs in Fall 2018. The new
requirements set forth by the Accreditation Board forEngineering Education and Technology (ABET). This paper presented a senior design projectrecently conducted in the area of autonomous robot. Our senior design course is structured as acollection of independent student projects. As our students are required to design, build, andtroubleshoot a fully functional, they find this course both challenging and rewarding. Thestudents’ feedback and their final project presentation indicate that they have pride in theirproject accomplishments and have gained confidence in their engineering abilities.References 1.

introduce core computer design concepts primarily to college students studying applied science and technology programs, such as computer science and information technology. With a particular focus on single-board computers and associated hardware modules, students are introduced to core computer compo- nents early in their coursework, and encouraged to study advanced engineering concepts as higher elective courses to help them better understand the underlying design of hardware modules. Hands-on ac- tivities and problem-based modules are re-designed with the flexibility to be applied in settings that involve all in-classroom cohorts, as well as courses offered in synchronous and/or asynchronous online learning methodologies, which is

. Another important potential research area is validating the types of CIdata and identifying new types of data to be utilized for CI. This can contribute to establishing ataxonomy of the types of data generated and utilized in 360-CI efforts. Scholars can use such ataxonomy to help in exploring and optimizing the dynamics and interactions of a tightlyintegrated set of 360-CI components.References[1] W. E. Deming, Out of the crisis.
