sizeable enrollmentranging from 150 to 225 students per semester, the ECE Discovery Studio program relies heavilyon the utilization of Peer Leaders (PLs), a cohort of 15 to 20 upper-level EE and CmpE studentsselected to a stipend-eligible academic-year-long fellowship. The Peer Leader Fellowship (PLF)is facilitated in parallel to ECE Discovery Studio with the goal of providing easily accessiblementorship from students who have gone through similar experiences and have commonacademic interests within the expansive ECE curriculum. Each PL is assigned a mentee group of10 to 15 ECE Discovery Studio students and the course is designed to promote networkingamong small groups through interactive studio activities, peer reviews, team projects

In addition, the difficulty of creating one’s decision-making schema naturally becomes greater as the number of possible tools or approachesincrease, or as the decisions otherwise become more complex.Having years of practical experience is not the only possible way to build a level of expertise thatincludes conditional knowledge. Swan, Plummer, and West [4] contend that intentional focus onbuilding conditional knowledge can help improve the level of expertise developed in a universityprogram. Problem-based learning, capstone projects, and other teaching methods 1 may all helpstrengthen student conditional knowledge [5], [6], to a greater or lesser extent.Another instructional

From our review,we found that research using self-determination theory focused on autonomy and how toimprove feelings of autonomous motivation in students to increase cognition. Researchers usingexpectancy-value theory were more balanced in their investigations, focusing on how bothstudent expectations and values play a part in student cognition. For researchers usingachievement goal theory, the focus was on the benefits of both mastery- and performance-basedorientations and the use of multiple goal perspectives. Related to measuring cognition, we notethat different measurements of achievement can make comparisons across projects difficult; assuch

Each faculty participantwas then prompted to identify their own core values regarding teaching and course goals, beforejoining their team to collaborate on a shared set of values and goals. Participants were alsoprompted to explicitly identify the role and responsibilities of each member of their teachingteam. The shared values and course goals were further codified into a document with the goal oforienting a new team member (Appendix A). The group was also challenged to develop a surveyfor evaluation of their team dynamics and achievement of their course goals, and to use it as atool for self-reflection on the team

result, universities are working to include more sociotechnical content informerly purely-technical courses, with the goal of engaging students in recognizing andanalyzing the economic, political, and social aspects of technology. In the U.S., many of thefocus topics for this sociotechnical content are grounded in a U.S. context, requiring anunderstanding of the history and current state of racial and economic power structures. WhileU.S. residents are likely familiar with these structures, it is important to consider how thesetopics are encountered by international students.This work-in-progress study on international student experiences is part of a larger NSF-fundedresearch project exploring integrating sociotechnical topics in a first-year

To date, a limited number of researchers havediscussed the application of deep learning methods to develop advanced recommenders inpersonalized learning environments. This study examines the literature that describes deeplearning as a recommender system to support personalized learning environments. This initialphase of the project seeks to synthesize the issues and opportunities associated withpersonalized learning experiences and the potential of using deep learning to support theprocess.
