The transform reframes the equation as analgebraic equation in a new variable s by which the solution is easily obtained; in fact, for acompletely relaxed system (no initial conditions), the transform almost appears to amount to aninnocent change of variables. The new world of frequency is not trivial; in fact, the concept of "frequency response" is a difficulty when teaching circuits and controls. Two prominent methods of visualizing the frequency response exist, Bode Plots and Nyquist
many seconds) does it become possible to determine if a student will struggle. Asimple neural network is proposed which is used to jointly classify body language and predicttask performance. By modeling the input as both instances and sequences, a peak F Score of0.459 was obtained, after observing a student for just two seconds. Finally, an unsupervisedmethod yielded a model which could determine if a student would struggle after just 1 secondwith 59.9% accuracy.1 IntroductionIn this work, the role of machine learning for planning student intervention is investigated.Specifically, t his w ork a sks t wo q uestions: ( i) C an a s tudent’s s truggles b e p redicted basedon body language?

Before placing the HMDs on theparticipants’ head the authors ensured that the interactive simulation was at the start screen (seeFigure 5). After testing and any Q&A, participants used their own mobile devices to scan a QRcode provided by the researchers, which delivered an electronic version of the SUS (see Figure7). Questions needed for descriptive statistics were asked prior to the 10 SUS items (see Figure 8and see Figure 9). 6 Figure 2. Visual Device Figure 6. Egocentric View of Interactive

Topics covered during thepresentation include their choice of functional units and system boundaries as well as anindication of databases and other sources for estimation of life cycle inventory and impacts. Thefeedback received from the instructor and peers during and after the presentation helped studentsto make the necessary changes to their project. Thus, the presentation served as a midtermformative assessment of their project.Student ProductsSince the project is the organizing principle of the course the discussion on student products willbe confined to project details.

A recruiting flyer wascreated and distributed to the classes at the four participating schools via STEM-Inc teacherparticipants when the school year started. In addition, the recruiting flyer and applicationpackages were always available at the school front offices during STEM-Inc enrollment period.Furthermore, a STEM-Inc open house and live engineering/computer science projectdemonstrations with Q&A session was held at each one of the four schools, mostly during thelunch hours in September for recruiting students.

Description of StudyThe author’s ChE program offers two required unit operations laboratory courses to its students:a four credit hour junior unit operations course (CHE 330) requiring three technical oralpresentations, as well as a two credit hour senior unit operations course (CHE 331) requiringthree technical oral presentations. In both courses, student presentations are scheduled to last for20 minutes (10-20 slides) followed by a 10 minute Q&A session with questions asked by theinstructor and fellow students enrolled in the section.
