2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Introducing Deep Learning to Undergraduate Engineering Majors Lin Zhang University of Central ArkansasAbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest growing technologies. The undergraduatestudents, especially those majoring in engineering, are demanding more encounters with AI.Deep learning (as one of the most popular and fundamental subcategories of the AI) isintroduced to the undergraduates through a 4-course education. The students will acquireintuitions on the concepts, the theoretical/mathematical backgrounds and practical

The Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) approach encourages students to lookbeyond traditional solutions, be inquisitive, and view difficulties as opportunities [4]. Researchsupports the notion that EM can improve problem-solving abilities and lead to a morecomprehensive understanding of the subject matter [5]. Through Entrepreneurial Minded Learning(EML) activities, students are encouraged to explore, recognize possibilities, and create value, with © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conferencea focus on effectual thinking, which gives priority to adaptive and opportunistic approaches

The researchers’ findings indicated thatremote camp settings could be as effective as in-person ones.The primary objective of a hybrid camp is to create a nurturing and stimulating environmentwhere students can explore and engage with like-minded peers in various STEM-relateddisciplines. By incorporating both virtual and in-person elements, a hybrid camp offers a flexibleand engaging experience for participants.

While the argument may have some validity at selective institutions or theliberal arts college archetype of decades past, we do not believe that statement characterizes thehome institution composition.Mortality (as in college retention/drop-out) of participants warranted special consideration in thecross-sectional (not longitudinal) study. Is the improvement in sophomores caused by lower-scoring students preferentially dropping out? While one may expect this to be visible in thenorms as well, this effect may be more

As shown in the full instructions in Appendix A, they had tomultiply the measured mass when the scale was flat (m0) by the cosine of the track’s angle ofinclination. Because some students were using their phones for these calculations while othershad scientific calculators, they were all reminded to be mindful of the units in their calculations.One group of students found a large error in their calculations due to their calculator’s anglesetting in radians, instead of degrees. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section
