As a work in progress, we plan to expand TextMatch’sscope to additional disciplines and data sources, ultimately making it more versatile for diverseeducational settings. We highlight how TextMatch’s flexible, modular architecture supports dif-ferent semantic search models and user preferences, presenting both quantitative and qualitativeevidence—including improved mean Precision@10 and MRR scores and favorable user surveyresponses—to demonstrate its value.

It would indicate that members who attend either self-select forinteraction and community or require continuing education for licensure out of state.Engineers are all college graduates, which means they are at a minimum in their early twenties. Itis expected that young engineers would be planning a four-year internship. At that point, in thelate-20s to early-30s, engineers take their initial exam for professional licensure. During thistime, early career stage engineers are also considering building a family. It is into this mélange ofdisparate goals; individuals may start to seek more

Plans for the App In recognizing the stark differences in how novices and experts approach and representproblem solutions and the various stages of acquiring expertise, an assessment that tracksstudents’ emerging conceptualizations of stress transformations and Mohr’s Circle has beendeveloped to adequately assess the effectiveness of the MATLAB application on learningoutcomes [17, 18]. For the assessment, multiple choice questions using three levels ofabstraction including less-abstract, more-abstract, and fully-abstract are used to measurestudents’ level of knowledge acquisition between three stages: novice, competent, and expert[18]. The level of abstraction is defined as the degree of complexity of the concept of thought[19]. That is

The participant did not believe the SPECTRAprogram inspired any changes in his career plans, but his participation opened doors to careers hewas interested in and made him a desirable candidate to prospective employers. I don't think without SPECTRA, I wouldn't have had much to speak about with prior experiences. Because of- so many people in the job market, wanting to have prior experience to- or prior experiences of being an engineer when there's not many opportunities to be an engineer without getting your hands into something.
