various designconsiderations and consider how they might implement oral exams as a powerful learning andassessment tool.At the University of California San Diego (UCSD), we have conducted a three-year NSF fundedproject to understand how we can use oral exams to advance engineering students' learning.The research team are 16 faculty, research staff and students from various Mechanical andAerospace Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science Engineering,and Psychology department and Teaching and Learning Commons. We have administered oralexams to over 3500 engineering students in 9 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering andElectrical and Computer Engineering courses. In this project, we investigated various designand

Diego State University since 2006.As of Fall 2021, the College of Engineering had an enrollment of 3,200 students across variousundergraduate programs, including Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, ConstructionEngineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Thedataset includes demographic features and academic performance metrics, though this studyfocuses exclusively on grades from prerequisite courses to estimate student success and, thus,identify at-risk students.3.2 Data PreprocessingFigure 1 illustrates a feature table considering the causality in prerequisite courses. It includes allmath-related courses in the prerequisite chain for a target course. For instance, the prerequisitechain for the
