Paper ID #36240Evaluation of an AI-assisted Adaptive Educational Game SystemDr. Ying Tang, Rowan University Ying Tang received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Northeastern University, P. R. China, in 1996 and 1998, respectively, and Ph.D degree from New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, in 2001. She is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rowan University, Glass- boro, NJ. Her research interests include virtual reality and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and modeling and scheduling of computer-integrated systems. Dr. Tang is very active in adapting and devel
Bloom’s taxonomy pyramid frommemorization to creation. Hence the van Hiele learning model offers better applicability forphysics pedagogy utilizing spatial abilities and Excel spreadsheet fluency (not requiring theExcel VBA engine).The literature contains the use of haptic device technology to help students to learn and physics[18, 19, 20, 21,22] and astronomy [23]. On the one hand, the application of haptic devicetechnology in physics pedagogy could be described as helping students to achieve thememorization, understanding, and applications layers according to the Bloom’s taxonomypyramid classification, which are combined together as the levels of visualization and inductivereasoning in the van Hiele learning model classification. On the other

President of Undergraduate Education (VPUE) at Stanford University as reported by Carlsin 2018 showed that “it would not be possible or desirable for the university to attempt to enforcea strict unit of credit as the variation in the value of a credit is a necessary feature of the system,”the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that strict standards incoursework be met for accreditation. Carls continued by quoting Martha Cyert, senior associatevice provost of undergraduate education, in order to make her claim on the flaws in the credithour system. Cyert stated: “One of our main findings was how difficult it is to get reliable data.”The investigators for VPUE stated to offer the best education possible is to
Dutch undergraduates (n=278) engaged in academicprocrastination, 20% of them chronically [5]. Similarly, several studies have identified poor timemanagement as a significant common denominator for all under-performing students [6]. Itshould be noted that increased use of technology, especially cell phones, can exacerbate theseissues [7]. In engineering education specifically, poor time management has been identified as acontributing factor to lower levels of retention and persistence [8]. These insights from the research literature have spawned a cottage industry of resourcesto advance how undergraduate students improve their ability to manage their time effectively.Largely based on a training model established by McCay [9], there are

: The STEM Innovation Academy’s Approach to the Senior Capstone Project: Promoting a Culture of Excellence PROBLEM STATEMENT The Academy is located in Orange Public School district. The school was opened in September2017 to serve as an additional secondary option within the district to promote science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programming. The Academy’s mission was to provide students witha personalized pathway toward mastery of the skills and knowledge that they will need to make thetransition from education to college and/or industry. The Academy sought to spark a transformation inteaching and learning by offering a combined design thinking and PBL
