However, STEM careers remain inaccessible to individuals withdisabilities, who make up 29% of the U.S. population but account for only 3% of employedscientists and engineers [2], [3]. Unequal access to and satisfaction in STEM jobs for disabledpeople are worse for those also holding intersecting minoritized identities such as gender, race,ethnicity, and LGBTQ+ status when compared to white, non-disabled, heterosexual men [4].Inequalities in access to STEM jobs can be caused by systemic barriers–such as the absenceof accessible facilities and curriculum adaptations, and the presence of societal biases–thatexclude people with disabilities from training needed for STEM fields [5

The “first-term” course is not necessarily offered in the fall term of the first year of astudent’s college career– this is merely the first term of the transport series, if there is one. Analternative arrangement would be to organize the courses by primary topic (fluid mechanics, heattransfer, mass transfer, binary combinations, and ternary combinations) no matter what term, andthis was used a secondary organizing principle within the term structure.Results and Discussion OverviewThe 94 courses are primarily junior-year courses, with 22% in the sophomore year, 71% junioryear, and 7% senior year. This agrees well with the most recent curriculum survey in theliterature

long-term effects of chatbot usage students’ university careers? • How does LLM usage affect learning efficiency as opposed to quality?7 ConclusionIn this study, we investigated the short-term impacts of LLM-based chatbot usage during self-regulated learning on subsequent assessment performance. Our exploratory study reveals thatwhile students exhibit a positive attitude towards using LLM-based chatbots for self-regulatedlearning tasks, these tools do not significantly influence performance outcomes in an upper-divisionembedded systems lab. This could imply that students have a tendency to overestimate the useful-ness of chatbot-dependent operations in the enactment stage of the W&H SRL model, which maylead to over-reliance on the

Graduateadmissions data also has a significantly lower volume of data per admissions cycle, owing to itssignificantly lower intake compared to undergraduate programs. In addition to this, the processof admission review varies not only between different universities but also between theundergraduate and graduate programs in the same university.

In the case of STEM education research, the PI isoften a tenured faculty member, as reward and recognition policies may disincentivizeearlier-career faculty in STEM disciplines from pursuing grant funding that is outside the realmof core scientific research.

As a result, students often expressed frustration waitingfor the code to complete the analysis and suggest that a smaller data set (one or two years) couldbe used in place of the 5-year dataset. However, we purposely choose a large data set to providea teachable moment, that even with advances in computational power, not all problems may haveimmediate solutions.
