Partnerships between researchersand K-12 teachers have proven highly beneficial in increasing student learning [1], [2].The Framework for K-12 Science Education [3] and the Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS) [4] place emphasis on the integration of engineering principles and practices into K-12science education. Unlike previous science education standards, engineering was included in theNGSS for two reasons: to reflect the importance of understanding the human-built world and torecognize the value of better integrating the teaching and

better outcomes as this format would require studying in preparation due torestricted resources when completing the learning module as well as prevent outsidecollaboration, ensuring that the students’ work represented their individual efforts. Similar topicshave been examined in prior research. According to Lee and Pruitt, with only a little extra effortby teachers, classroom assignments often produce a higher gain in student achievement [2]. This“extra effort” from being inside the classroom was reflected in this investigation throughguidance from the professor and teaching assistants. Additionally, in an article referencingstudents’ thinking during class instruction, Doyle stated that “the study of tasks in actualclassroom settings can enrich

A few students described how their threading model involvedsetting a threshold equal to a certain number, denoting that after that number of active threadswere launched, the program would have to switch to a sequential approach. Another group ofstudents took a different approach along the lines of checking the topmost portion of the treesequentially then assigning a set number of parallel threads after the correct depth was reached.While the answers to these questions were helpful data points of students’ conceptualunderstandings to the course instructors, more importantly, it also reinforced understanding tothe students.

Alimitation of this study is that the community partners were not surveyed, as the relationshipbetween industry and the community organizations is mostly indirect.The student survey contained both Likert-style and free response sections. The Likert-stylesection asked the students to rate seven questions on the value of industry engagement for theirpersonal development and team success. Five of these questions map directly to the assessedcourse outcomes: accomplishing project goals, utilizing the design process, teamwork/leadership,reflection and critical thinking, and communication, and the other two addressed one issueimportant to the community organizations, the quality of the deliverable, and the

Forill-structured problems where the solution path is not immediately obvious, the systematicapproach of self-regulated learning can help students navigate the possible difficulties and deadends. If a solution method does not work out, the problem solver can reflect on this and try adifferent approach.The Model of Domain Learning is another conceptual framework that can be applied to problemsolving.

This discrepancy encourages students to think reflectively upon the otheratmospheric phenomenon taking place in the troposphere; for instance, volatile organiccompounds, which are not taken into account in the NOx cycle, contribute heavily to the overalltropospheric ozone balance, necessarily resulting in a difference between what was observed andwhat was estimated.

Due to theintrinsic ratio nature of probability, it is naturally easier to predict the majority class with higheraccuracy than the minority class. Predicting the minority class is therefore a known difficulty inmachine learning. As we are attempting to predict attrition, and attrition is the minority class, theneural network was having difficulty.
