model GC-induced write amplification inSSDLab. Real SSDs may have other sources of write amplification like wear leveling[3], [46].shown in Table 1 provide none or only a few lines of information for storage. The first week is forHDD/SSD physical internals, which is related to the latency calculation. The second week is forSSD and FTL details. Our planned student workload per programming assignment is 50 to 60lines of code in a duration of two weeks. Thus, we also provide two weeks of lab sessions todiscuss the programming assignment.In the labs, we review the overall structure of the topics (i.e., how FTL handles requests) andmake sure students understand how to implement the assignments from a high level by asking andanswering questions about

He studied at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2006 then worked in industry as a Mechanical Engineer working on ruggedized submarine optronic systems. He returned to academia in 2011 at Tufts University planning to work towards more advanced R&D but fell for engineering education and educational technologies. His research now focuses on developing

Futurelongitudinal studies could explore how such pedagogy courses influence how TAs teach indifferent academic contexts. Additionally, many of our DS TAs still take computing and statisticspedagogy training courses in lieu of the DS pedagogy training course studied; we plan to exploredownstream effects of different pedagogy courses by studying a broader range of DS TAs in theclassroom.Finally, ongoing
resources required to implement a set ofsix hands-on statics activities. It is well established that active and hands-on learning canimprove student outcomes. However, planning, resourcing, and implementation can be a barrierto their use. Our goal is to lower the implementation barrier for busy faculty that are hesitant toadopt active learning despite awareness of the research. We have created an easily accessiblerepository of the resources required to source, assemble, and implement Statics Shoebox Kits.Five criteria were considered in the development of the kits and activities. 1) Very little prep timeshould be required from the instructor. 2) The materials should be readily available, portable,inexpensive, and reusable. 3) Activity worksheets

Not surprisingly the combination of factors led this woman to leaveher institution to find a more supportive environment. So eventually I very much secretly interviewed at other places. And I didn't resign until I had a job offer, and I talked to my therapist about my plan of action on how to resign gracefully, just because my department had retaliated against other people who had resigned by freezing their grant accounts, refusing to transfer their grants to new institutions, and things of that nature so…. people who know me personally and are close to me I will speak to you.

For example, a subsequentstudy is planned to replicate the procedure in its entirety except for using an alternative model forthe manufacturing demonstrations and the modeling activity. Using an alternative model mayprovide clarity about whether the observed effects are model-specific or represent a broaderinteraction between manufacturing and modeling behavior in CAD.

Engineering Education, 2025Trends in Modular Construction Research: A Bibliometric Examination of Developed and Developing RegionsAbstractModular construction is a process in which various building types, standardized structuralcomponents and pre-designed floor plans are constructed offsite under controlled plantconditions before being transported and assembled on-site. This method of construction hasgained significant recognition in recent years due to its numerous benefits, including increasedefficiency, improved safety, greater flexibility in design, reduced construction time, enhancedquality control, reduced waste and improved sustainability. Despite its well-documented benefits,its adoption varies significantly across developed

education coincides with the evolution of data science as a field, whosemeaning has shifted significantly since its inception. While the term ”Data Science” has existedsince the 1990s, its meaning has changed substantially over time. While the original definition ofdata science focused on the storage and management of data, the term is used currently inreference to the process of turning data into insights and new knowledge.Understanding the data science life cycle is essential to designing effective education frameworksfor K-12 learners. The data science life cycle involves several main steps: problem definition,getting domain knowledge and designing research, data planning and collection, data cleaningand wrangling, feature engineering and

We will recruit students from eight additional engineering courses to pilot the updatedCS1 assessment in Spring 2025, anticipating at least 500 participants. Over the next two years,we will continue data collection as part of our longitudinal study to measure the long-term effectsof the CS1 redesign on engineering students’ ability to apply computational tools in theirrespective fields.We plan to revise the existing labs and incorporate group activities using the Process-OrientedGuided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) framework [50, 51].
