In a later study, theauthors will compare results from surveys sent to both students and faculty to gauge theeffectiveness of SI. With preliminary findings revealing University of South Alabama’s currentSI model to be highly effective for a university of its size. These results and our model have thepotential to lead other similarly sized universities to the same results. With future worksexpanding on the paper so that a plan for other universities is included. It is expected that theresults of the survey will show the positive correlation of SI services with the retention ofstudents. However, the impact of COVID on SI sessions is unknown

In addition, more transferstudents never met their faculty/staff advisors after transferring, so more close support is needed.The author plans the following recommendations for future works: - to perform the same CSF survey in future years to compare the outcomes, - to perform the same survey with juniors who just transferred to CPP, and - to conduct the CSF survey to other disciplines across the campus.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under AwardNo. 2225128.References[1] J.

Furthermore, we plan to utilize text classificationtechniques to assess and provide feedback on the quality of students' ethical reasoning. Byanalyzing and categorizing student responses based on a scoring rubric, we aim to evaluate thegame’s effectiveness in developing ethical decision-making skills.ConclusionWe found no detectable growth in students’ ethical reasoning across a four-year undergraduateengineering program, as

On top of ROS, there are many packages that can beused to visualize physical environments, like Gazebo, and develop, simulate and execute mo-tion plans, like MoveIt, for examples.
