In the future, we plan to expand our data collection efforts and moresystematically compare our results with these prior works.In this paper we report on two major facets of our own HEEE meeting. First, we summarizeresults from a pre-meeting survey that was developed by our team and deployed to all invitees.The survey included both scaled and open-ended questions designed to gauge participants’perceptions of ethics codes, ethics education and ethical development, case studies, the ethics ofAI/ML technologies, and related

Formulating Solutions to CEP: Once a problem is identified, the next stage is to devise a strategy or model for solving it. This involves generating hypotheses, selecting appropriate methodologies, and planning the execution of solutions. Funke [8] highlights the importance of dynamic reasoning in this stage, where multiple variables and constraints must be considered to develop viable solutions. The formulation stage bridges theoretical knowledge and practical application. C. Solving CEP: The final stage
opportunity torevisit the MCDP courses. Initially, the plan for the RE program was to adopt the MCDP coursesfrom the ME program, which span over three semesters to give more time for fabrication andassembly of mechanical structures. However, the two targeted professional scenarios of the REprogram were directly aligned with the M-MCDP courses, i.e.: i. Design a robotic system involving the integration of mechanical, electrical and computer components, for a given application context. ii. Manage multidisciplinary teams for robotic projects.Additionally, it was decided that the RE program would be managed at the faculty level,bridging the EECE and ME departments, which facilitated the allocation of resources forestablishing the new
skills in applying AI chatbot tools, and evaluate theaccuracy, relevance, and impact of AI outputs in enhancing construction project efficiency. Thestudy involved both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in different courses.Undergraduate participants were part of the "Project Planning & Regulations" course, dividedinto two sessions, with most majoring in Civil Engineering (CE) (84%) and the rest inEnvironmental Engineering (EE) (16%). Graduate students were enrolled in the "ComprehensiveEstimating" course, part of a Master of Science in Engineering program focusing onConstruction Management (CM). This graduate course is delivered asynchronously, requiringstudents to watch recorded videos each week and complete weekly assignments

Additionally, we discussthe operational costs of our autograding system, its compatibility with existing frameworks, andthe current limitations of our approach. By enabling more creative and personalized assignments,FlexiGrader has the potential to transform assessment practices in introductory computer sciencecourses.1 IntroductionIt is well established in computer science (CS) education literature [1], that learning-by-doingand rigorous practice are effective for students to gain programming expertise. Consequently, theformative and summative assessments in CS courses often take the form of

These assignments were scaffolded to ensure that skillsintroduced early were reinforced and expanded upon. 4.4.1 Hands-on Activities Relevant to Spatial Vis ProgramThe hands-on activities developed by eGrove Education were integral to the course andcomplemented the Spatial Vis™ program. While some activities followed the original design, theinstructor slightly modified others to align with course goals. These activities offered studentspractical, interactive opportunities to apply spatial reasoning skills, enhancing theirunderstanding through tactile and visual engagement. a) b) Figure 2: (a) Example of top-view plans from the Lesson 2 module in the Spatial

This need to be flexible and adaptable around variousaspects of educational programming in the K-12 space can be evidenced in many ways. Forinstance, a planned workshop could not come to fruition due to scheduling conflicts in theclassroom. Leaf Chromatography was initially planned at the midpoint of the series, whenstudents were learning about plant cells and chlorophyll in their science class. Though theprepared slidedeck and protocol were not tested in the classroom, this workshop’s documents areshared alongside the other Mobile Bioengineering Lab deliverables on the website.Overall, the post-workshop survey results exhibited generally positive attitudes toward

(B) Example interaction between students in the Padlet.Weeks 1-2 The exchange kicked off formally with an introductory session and team formation.Students from both universities met synchronously via MS TEAMS, where we introduced theprogram's objectives and explained the planned activities. Teams composed of students from bothinstitutions were formed to ensure cross-cultural collaboration. Students were divided into fourteams, each consisting of 4-6 UF graduate students and 3 PUJ undergraduates. Additionally, eachteam included a PUJ graduate student, who was ready to motivate the undergraduate students fromthe same institution when necessary; this motivation usually

We believe that the codebook effectively captures theelements of feedback literacy, as applied to our PFR feedback process.Implications and Future WorkThe extension of feedback literacy theory provides several implications for our larger study andthe field of engineering education. The codebook derived from feedback literacy theory has beenused to code the reflection data. We found that this codebook is a useful way to understandstudent perceptions of the

education [11].Dataying – Data Science literacy for Early ChildhoodMalallah proposed a dataying framework to teach data science concepts to young children ages4–7 years old. The framework development included identifying K–12 data science elementsand then validating element suitability for young students. Six cycled steps were identified:identifying a problem, questioning, imagining and planning, collecting, analyzing, and storysharing [12]. This paper utilizes the dataying framework to develop data science missionswithin the VW environment. Figure 4. Dataying [13] Figure 5.

This reoriented their perspective and ability to see possibilities of what theycould do in the classroom.Lesson plansTo create ML-aligned lesson plans, the teachers started by reviewing the required state standards, identified whichones aligned well with coding, and then worked backwards to design lesson plans that integrated both codingand the standards seamlessly. Note that, given the technology limitations for their course offerings in the publicschool setting, they were only able to utilize online coding program, Scratch. This limited the extent of MLconcepts that could be explored in the structured learning setting of the classroom, such as with Orange or Python.Scratch provided an interactive platform

It focuses on identifying and supporting ’near completers’, students who,while slightly behind, need only a few additional credits to graduate at the end of the year. Us-ing progress analytics, the study identified near-completers as those who have completed 70% ormore of their degree requirements prior to the start of the current academic year. By analyzingfactors such as degree progress, credit utilization, and barriers to completion, the study examineshow targeted interventions can address common challenges faced by these students.

75.3 Results of Faculty Survey and Course PlanWe collected faculty’s course plans indicating how they might incorporate InSiDE into theircourses. Faculty created specific learning objectives and devised ways to use the InSiDE in theirteaching. We did not systematically analyze faculty’s course plans, but we reviewed them. Mostfaculty designed a traditional lecture course, incorporating active learning techniques, while twofaculty designed a flipped classroom approach.The 13 faculty who attended our workshop came from four different CSU institutions. Ten teachin the Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering department at their institution, two are inElectromechanical Engineering Technology, and one is a Civil Engineering instructor.Faculty were asked
