TheRunestone project logs Python development activity, allowing for research such as [Yeckeh19].In recent years, cloud-based program auto-grader usage has grown tremendously. Hundreds ofuniversities have switched from manual to auto-grading, reaching hundreds of thousands of students[Gordon21]. Auto-graders can create a log of every submission students make for auto-grading,including date, time, the submitted program, and more. In fact, some such auto-graders provide adevelopment environment too, so potentially can log all compiles/runs also, as depicted in Figure 1.Figure 1: Modern auto-graders may

UndergraduateSTEM Education (IUSE). The goal of this three-year exploration is to determine if sucha system as the EMS can be built to collect this data in real time within the classroomand accurately capture behavioral and emotional engagements. Also to be explored is theintegration of disparate data types such as image data, heart rate, academic performance,etc., within an AI classification system. Final efforts on the project will include prelimi-nary evaluation of the ability to infer cognitive engagement from behavioral and emotionalengagements. As demonstrated in previous work, classifying emotions and behaviors is pos-sible to some extent, and psychological work has established the link between emotionaland behavioral engagement with cognitive

Both deepand shallow attempts to solve the problem could produce similar outcomes in the game.Moving ForwardThe game-based dynamic systems and control course is being offered again in Spring 2009. Thechallenges and exercises in the new course are more similar to the Pendu-Car project describedpreviously. Instead of having students achieve specific performance metrics, we focus more onqualitative aspects. In devising a control strategy for the Pendu-Car, for example, one needs tothink deeply about how the feedback architecture is constructed. How can one simultaneouslycontrol two strongly coupled dynamic states (pendulum angle and car position)? Ourengineering

They were situated in a classroom without student computers. Only theinstructor had access to the VR simulation and the instructor’s interaction with the simulationcould be seen by all students on the projection screen. The instructor explained that thesimulation was about the stresses that a fluid at rest (water in a tank) applied on the surfaces itwas in contact with and manipulated the VR controls while discussing the stress distributionsseen on the screen.

algorithm design will be discussed as well as the next steps for the research.IntroductionThe use of peer review is an essential part of the engineering design process. The AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers maintains an official policy, formally supporting the use of peerreview in engineering2. As an educational tool, peer review can be a valuable way to providestudents feedback without a significant increase in instructor workload. Despite all that iscurrently known about our students, the best mechanism for assigning reviewers to reviewees ina peer review of artifacts is still considered to be blind, random assignment.

That is, itwas not the case that a faculty member heard about the innovation at a workshop or otherone-time event, but rather that they participated in an extended conversation that allowedfamiliarity to build
