Student self-confidence has shown to have a positive relationship with student successand professional development, but increased academic rigor at the collegiate level can
forest models; entropy;computer adaptive testing; artificial intelligenceIntroduction Effective and impactful education is reliant on accurate and equitable assessment oflearning and proficiency. Large-scale and local assessments are used for determining admissioninto programs, for course placement, for determining which students have mastered courselearning outcomes, for reinforcing learning and providing feedback, for informing pedagogy andinterventions, and for developing self-regulated learning skills [1], [2], [3], [4]. Cognitive fatigue (CF) is a well-documented phenomenon characterized by diminishedperformance throughout the day, over the course of prolonged cognitive tasks, and even within thefirst few questions on single
scale between“not true of me” and “very true of me.” The Cronbach’s alpha value for this measure for the pre-survey data was 0.91 and for the post-survey data, it was 0.94. Example question from thesurvey: “Compared with others in this class, I think I'm a good student.”Self-Efficacy – Task. Students were surveyed to gauge their self-confidence in comprehendingand mastering the content covered in the fundamental circuits course, encompassing areas suchas linear resistive circuits, 1st order circuits, sinusoidal steady-state circuits, ideal transformers,and semiconductor circuits, including diodes and transistors. The data collected was based on arating from 0-10, with 10 being most confident and 0 being no confidence. The dataset'sreliability

It's a lot of Europeans [that have DACA status]… If I tell them, “oh, I'm a DACA recipient,” their response is “oh, what is that? Explain that.” Or, “what do you mean you can't do that,” you know? So, I think it's just having to constantly explain it because that gets tiring, and you have this script in your head [to answer their questions]. That's the frustrating part.It is important to note here that racialization itself was initiated because only those“unmarked” are considered white. That is, individuals who are perceived as not belonging tothe “master category” [40] or the default

community engagement workshop, studentswere introduced to a four-stage model for initial transdisciplinary collaboration [13]. To modeltransdisciplinary applications to community-engaged solution-seeking to environmentalchallenges, the students simulated a case study scenario involving an action plan for climatechange. In the first stage of the model, students individually read a document that simulated acommunity stakeholder - in this case, a city agency requesting assistance in drafting a cityaction plan to combat climate change issues in a coastal community. The students individuallyhighlighted lexical items of significance in the document. Subsequently, they worked in smallgroups to create one master list of focal themes that emerged in the

programs face challenges in increasing the representation of students from low and middle-income countries, and engineering spaces can continue to be hostile environments, where students of color represent 21% and 14% of engineering and science masters and doctorates, respectively[36]. Future studies will delve into how inherent privileges and common practices of socially dominant individuals may complicate and pose challenges to a student's capacity for social justice activism. inally, given the educational aims of HE programs and the lack of studies on HE students’Fgrowth as social justice engineers, future work will characterize how learning experiences in HE programs influence graduate students to advocate

Information Literacy Teams: Bridging the Fluency Divide Judy Collins, Beverlee Kissick, Jung Oh, Alysia Starkey Kansas State University-Salina Introduction "The quality and quantity of information needed to function effectively in society and the workplace continues to increase. Individuals...must be able to master rapidly changing information technology and possess the information literacy skills to act independently in this information rich environment1."Information Literacy and the Fluency DivideAccording to futurists, in the next decades, the amount of information will be doubling everyeleven minutes.

inexperienced and maydisregard safety procedures or considerations out of haste, ignorance, or distraction. Students arestill trying to master technical detail and have limited exposure to what can go wrong, what canbreak, and how to assess the reliability of a design. Industry addresses the issue of new engineersby assigning senior engineer mentors, having careful design reviews, and developing anunambiguous culture of safety where all stakeholders are on the lookout for unsafe practices.Before we delve into a specific senior design case study, we want to outline a general frameworkfor incorporating safety into such a project: a. Define specific safety-related technical requirements for the project definition presented to the students; b
bachelorsdegree are using the technique today. In contrast, ten years ago, specialists did a majorityof FEM analyses, mostly educated at the masters or doctoral level [1] due to the method’stechnical complexity and to the command line pre-processing requirements. Finite element courses in academia at the undergraduate and graduate levels inengineering programs are mainly theoretical in nature. Although some students andpractitioners have taken an FEM course at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, manyindividuals have only been introduced to FEM in a two to five day training course.These training courses enable an individual to ‘build a model’ and have the program runsuccessfully to yield some output. However, these software-training courses fall
