Statisticallysignificant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between engineering and non-engineeringstudents on Q#1, Q#2, Q#4, Q#6, Q#7, Q#8, Q#10, Q#12, Q#19. Of these questions withstatistically significant differences, a higher percentage of engineering students respondingcorrectly to Q#1, Q#2, Q#4, Q#6 and Q#7. Interestingly, questions Q#2 and Q#6 pertain toambiguous social interactions which were correctly answered by more than 50% of theengineering students while less than 40% non-engineering students answered these questionscorrectly. And, a higher percentage of the non-engineering students responded correctly toquestions Q#8, Q#10, Q#19 of which two questions (Q#8, Q#10) pertain to social

Iowa State UniversityAbstractAs evidenced by students’ inability to explain their solutions, abstract concepts without directphysical representations in engineering are difficult to grasp because they lack direct sensory,physical, or perceptual referents. In this pilot study, we investigate whether visual aids helpstudents better understand abstract concepts and improve their learning outcomes. Specifically,in the context of the (Q, r) model in the inventory control theory, we first develop visual aids forlearning and teaching, i.e., the animation of line plots that show the evolution of key quantities inthe (Q, r) model over time. We then plan to use a paired t-test to see if there is any differencebetween the students’ scores in the pre-test

Homework was not collected, and students were also given solutions at the time the assignments were assigned. Students then completed an in- class quiz the day the homework assignment was “due,” consisting of one problem very similar to one of the homework problems.

This response was expected asthe students did not use the headsets for an immersive experience but rather experienced thelessons on a computer monitor due to COVID challenges. The students of AENG 244 rated thestatement “Using VR helped make memorization easier” (Q#10) the lowest (Fig. 8a). Thisresponse indicated that the lesson was correctly designed, that is, not designed for memorizationbut for understanding.

policy, which is a mapping from states to actions thatmaximizes the expected future reward.We deploy Q-Learning [24], a common reinforcement learning algorithm where the agent keepsstate-action values Q(s,a) and uses these values to choose the best action to take in each state.The Q(s,a) values are updated through a trial-and-error process and the action with the highestQ(s,a) value is considered the best action to take. Often the state space is large and explicitlystoring Q(s,a) values in tabular form is not feasible. Therefore, approximation methods, rangingfrom linear combinations to deep convolutional neural networks have been used to approximateQ(s,a). Since we aim for effective adaptation, we deploy Q-Learning with linear approximationon

Inboth semesters, students in these sections earned the course’s standard 2% extra credit offered inall sections by completing these reflections. Reflections included a combination of closed- andopen-ended prompts (Table 1). Note that the number of close-ended prompts differed each weekdepending on the number of learning objectives addressed in the given week of instruction(Table 1: Q4- Q(X-1) in 2017 or Q(2)-Q(Y-3) in 2018).

In addition, foreign students entering a Mechanics of Materials course havepoor foundational knowledge in subjects like Physics and/or Statics and encounter difficultieslearning in a virtual course delivery model (82% asynchronous and 18% live Q&A sessions).The combination of these challenges exacts a tremendous obstacle to student learning, studentretention, and student persistence.The developed instructional approach uses reduced question sets for homework assignments,which aim to improve the lower-level questioning found in Bloom’s Taxonomy and Costa’sLevels of Thinking and reducing the higher-level questioning.

The department website also had a handful of online videos about Zoom,Blackboard (still the LMS at that time), and Google Classroom, along with recordings ofwebinars, short tutorials, and links to other resources from AI and the Blackboard site.

Our statisticaldata analysis shows an improvement in both course GPAs and successful coursecompletion for SI/PLUS attendees vs. non attendees. To account for the voluntarynature of these programs, we compared the performance of students with similar pre-semester GPAs to control for the level of preparation of the students.

This faculty-led Q&A was essentially an in-class postmortem of the homework assignment from the previous week. • Problem Sets (8 ~ 12 hours/week outside of class). The homework involved a combination of problem-solving and multi-part questions exploring the theoretical basis of thermodynamics. The students were encouraged to work in small teams, but handed-in homework individually. Solutions were posted online, and students received feedback from a TA one week later. • Office Hours (extracurricular).
