This is in part due totheir coursework. In their first semester, they are making the transition from high school to acollege or a university where the rigor of the coursework is above and beyond anything thatmany students have experienced in the past. Most often, first-year engineering students areexpected to be calculus ready and take a calculus course in their very first semester. They alsotake a laboratory science course, either chemistry or calculus based-physics, but sometimes
attribute of self-efficacy is that it is context-specific: one can have different levelsof self-efficacy for different contexts [11]. For example, one may have a high degree of self-efficacy in following a scripted laboratory activity, but a low degree for problem-solving a realworld engineering challenge. As a consequence, the instruments and scales needed to measureself-efficacy also vary greatly based on the specific context of the activity. Hence, there havebeen different scales developed for self-efficacy in different areas, such as mathematics andchemistry [12] - [15].Identity is generally focused on the feelings, thoughts, and beliefs one has of oneself [16], whichcontribute to self-confidence and, therefore, self-efficacy.

tools do not provide enough feedback to the user. Ifthere are fundamental errors related to sketching linkages or to providing specifications, those arenot shared with the user. The users can extract the final results, kinematics or forces, but there isno information about the equations used in the backend. The availability of equations, for instance,will greatly help their usage in course work. If more information is available, students can improvetheir understanding of the step-by-step process taught in lectures or illustrated in technical books.During homework and laboratory activities, a student must spend a lot of time trying to manuallyverify the correctness of their work. The teaching team also experiences delay during the gradingprocess
Brown students bybeing dismissive of their contributions [13]. Likewise, white students often overlook Black andBrown women when using laboratory equipment or delineating tasks having to do with figuringmathematics for the homework assignment [13].Marginalizing behaviors begin with team formation, where self-selection practices result in lessgender and racially diverse teams [14]. Team formation by self-selection is still pervasive despiteoverwhelming evidence of the problematic outcomes [14]. In cases where team formation iscontrolled by instructors, race, gender, and other salient characteristics that may serve as markersof difference within teams should be carefully considered in the execution of team-basedlearning.

Theknowledge-based assessment was available to students in electronic format through theuniversity’s learning managing system. The practice-based assessment was also made availableto students through the LMS.In addition, the students choose a preferred exam type from three types: the knowledge-based,the practice-based, and the combination of both knowledge-based and practice-based. Theknowledge-based exam tests what the students learned by reading the material from the book, bycompleting the laboratories, and by memorizing facts. The practice-based exam was open-book,in which students demonstrated their ability to

The purpose of this project is, along with the above statement, toreplace and improve those legacy systems. The legacy system was limited to one pressure inputas well as one thrust (load) input. The new system will instead be able to read multiple differentsensors such as Load Cells, Pressure Sensors, Thermocouples and Infrared Temperature

than would be otherwise available in a non-medical setting. The secondadvantage comes from the connections that these lecturers bring to the course. Since these lecturers haveaccess to medical imaging equipment through their clinical duties and research, the students can havehands-on experience with the machines that they learn about in class. These experiences are facilitatedthrough laboratory experiments using the machines. Because the graduate school campus is located withinthe medical center, it is easy for the students to attend these labs. The key challenges of running this imaging course come from coordinating with the lecturers andmaintaining consistency throughout the course. These challenges are overcome by having a

easilyaccessible, creativity lectures by faculty can be complemented by AUT-based assignments wherestudents can also evaluate their responses – as a team or individually. Similar in-classassignments or creativity tasks in laboratory conditions can also be rapidly and robustlyevaluated, accelerating research outputs in this domain. As shown herein, SemDis resultsconsistently mimic human’s comprehension, identification and rating of distance across words.Although further studies are needed to enhance the sample size, and to further diversifyparticipant groups and the set of object names used (engineering vs. common or lay), the presentstudy provides evidence that warrants the continued development of SemDis and supports theuse of such automated methods for

In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering education in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr
