In this paper the methodsfor helping students deal with the triple challenge of learning parallel programming, writingcorrect code for any scale, and verifying scalability are presented along with new methods toincorporate quantum computing as another hybrid option. The paper provides details of how thetriple challenge can be extended to include the fourth challenge of advanced co-processingmethods. Techniques used are problem-based learning for mastery and contract-based projectswhere students demonstrate their achievement of key learning objectives.1. IntroductionBased upon prior work to improve Numerical and Parallel

morecomprehensive strategies and solutions to foster a positive, supportive, welcoming culture.Introduction:A positive and supportive academic culture in engineering education is crucial to studentsuccess. Culture has been shown to impact identity development, sense of belonging, academicachievement, social relationships, diversity, and retention [1]. The impacts of culture also extendbeyond the academic setting, impacting students’ overall well-being. A negative academicenvironment has been shown to induce feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety in students inSTEM. Interpersonal support from faculty can aid in ameliorating these feelings spurred byadverse learning environments [2]. Mentorship, positive interactions, and effectivecommunication from

Define the problem explains details of a particular challenge in a system, as well as all (re)design requirements necessary to improve the system. 2. Develop the solution describes ways of solving a certain problem in a system and (re)design components to improve the system. 3. Collect the evidence relates to measures utilised to evidence the validity of solution(s) to the problem(s). 4. Make the case explains facts and arguments to improve a system and deliver solutions to the problem(s). 5.

At a minimum, a three-story building is recommended and consists of enoughelements that work together to reflect a system behavior approach. Students should beassigned in groups of 3 or less to achieve such a task. Figure-1 presents such a system layout forstudents to study and design. Figure-1The system is initially analyzed for gravity load (dead load plus live load). Then at a later stagein design, the lateral loads generated from seismic activities are introduced.

This researchemployed a structured intervention that integrated pre-planned activities involving ChatGPT intothe coursework, as well as allowing students to develop their own ways to use ChatGPT onassignments. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected through observations, surveys, andinterviews, allowing for a review of the tool's impact on student learning. Students were giventhe opportunity to utilize ChatGPT for assignments, provided they reflected on their choice touse ChatGPT or not. Thematic analysis of the interviews and

To help with this pilot project, they recentlyestablished a partnership with Cal Poly to conduct the power flow studies to verify the properoperation of the proposed system as well as proper equipment sizing.Project DescriptionFigure 1 summarizes the project with its associated tasks. There are two major sub-projects, eachbeing undertaken by a graduate student, and advised by a faculty member. For each sub-project,the student will have to first develop a computer model of the proposed system and then simulatethe model to study and analyze the operation of the proposed system. The project started in April2023 and will conclude in April 2024. One important component of the project is the progressreport

Survey results showedthat the students overwhelmingly rated Nearpod as helpful to their learning and materialretention. Based on the results of the survey, Nearpod should be incorporated into all mycomputer science classes.1 IntroductionMany students think of computer science as a difficult topic to learn6,7. Teachers struggle toconvey the complex topics and dropout rates in introductory computer science courses arehigh6,7. Teaching today is made even more difficult by the fact that modern students are oftenlooking at their phones during class time. Some research

To address the scalability challenges, we also developed trainingmaterials to prepare assessors to adopt equity mindset and proper techniques to communicatewith students during oral exams. We also explored how to better prepare students for oralexams, both mentally and technically.In this workshop, we will: 1) Share findings from a three-year NSF-funded study on the impact oforal exams that have been implemented in several engineering courses multiple times over thethree years; 2) Describe various oral exam implementation models; 3) Discuss the
