-Progress: Constructing a prediction model of creativity and cognitive concept connections based on learning portfolioAbstractThe skills required of new employees by industry are increasingly interdisciplinaryand creativity-related because of a paradigm shift in target markets. Engineeringeducation should therefore focus on helping students develop their creativity andcritical thinking skills. A student’s level of creativity is usually evaluated byexamining his or her final projects. However, the language that students use indiscussions and interactions can be analyzed to determine their cognitive processesand thus their creativity. This study collected 1 year of records of discussions andinteractions on a Moodle learning platform among students

, this excitement for robotics is a keyattractor to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) career paths. Many of theseschools participate in robotics competitions for novice students to be able to learn scientific andengineering principles through hands-on activity. However, at the high school level there is lackof team mentors to assist those youth with their various projects. Prior to development of thiscourse, Fairfield University had received frequent requests to recruit college students to serve asmentors for those programs. Many of our students found it difficult to dedicate the time, whenthey did not see themselves as experts, nor have an incentive on campus to encourage theirparticipation.Through the service learning structure
