interpretations, we propose conducting a qualitative study byinterviewing students. We plan to couple current exploratory study with performance data andsubmitted queries to more strongly identify successful problem-solving patterns and groups ofstudents in need of support. Ultimately, we aim to develop an automated analysis tool forinstructors to identify students who may require help during lecture sessions or collaborativeassignments, as some students who would benefit from help may feel shy from seeking it.ConclusionsOur study seeks to address the lack of knowledge about student group problem-solving behaviorsin a collaborative learning setting and assist instructors in understanding the temporal patterns instudent group submission sequences

To evaluate thesuccess of research-oriented group project, a pre and post survey was administered to the studentswith the objective of gauging their inclination towards research activities. The survey featured thefollowing questions: • Q1: I plan to attend graduate school after completing my degree. 7 Figure 2: Post Scavenger Hunt Responses • Q2: I am interested in getting research experience. • Q3: I have interest in learning CPS security

ReviewEducators in engineering are balancing the demands of research with teaching responsibilities.They face challenges in curriculum development, ensuring alignment with evolving accreditationgoals and industry trends, particularly in rapidly advancing areas like IoT and cybersecurity.Administrative duties and student engagement are other significant concerns as educators striveto make learning interactive and engaging in large, often lecture-style, classes.However, there are some barriers to transitioning from face-to-face to online teaching as itrequires intentional planning and preparation, more than needed in a traditional face-to-facecourse [9]. Novice faculty may not have enough experience with teaching, the subject matter,students, and

The authorshave planned a pilot study of the chatbot and its implementation for a course in Spring 2023.Results will be reported in the final paper.Introduction:Chatbots have revolutionized various industries, such as airlines, medical, and insurance. It canhandle many customers and respond to their varying inquiries. This progress in chatbot technologyis partly due to the recent advancements in natural language processing. There are limitedempirical studies examining the effectiveness of various learning designs or strategies whenincorporating chatbots in education [1]. Ongoing

. Students engage in a step-by-step process of planning, executing, and validating experiments within the virtual environment,allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. Following the virtualsimulation phase, students transition to the physical power trainers, where they can implement andverify the same experimental methods learned in the virtual setting. This dual-phase approach notonly enhances the students' comprehension of electrical power and machinery concepts but alsoreinforces the connection between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications.In summary, the incorporation of LVSIM-EMS in ENGR 4520 and ET 4640 courses at MTSU hastransformed the traditional experimental methods.

One of her proudest accomplishments was receiving FIRST Robotics Competition volunteer of the year award for being a judge, judge advisor, and chair of regional and district planning committees for over a decade. This is second only to serving as co-leader of her daughter’s Girl Scout troop and then mentoring those same girls on the Gamer Girlz FIRST Lego League and VEX robotics team. Through her innovative work in engineering education and STEM outreach, she has appeared in several print and digital media including Forbes, Black Enterprise, New York Times, and CBS News. She has also been recognized with several national awards including the American Society of

encourage students to stay on track with course content is to provide frequent andstrict deadlines for homework or other type of formative assessments, which are often completedasynchronously outside of class time. Check-in dates help students break complex processes intomanageable chunks as they plan and progress through course goals, and final deadlines can helpthem organize and prioritize work and avoid the anxiety of missed work piling up at the end of theterm. Moreover, Felker at al. [9] suggest that giving extra credit for completing assignments earlycan be effective at encouraging students to have better work distribution. However, it is knownthat strict deadline policies may add to students’ stress [10, 11], promote the submission of
