to design a curriculum that incorporates three things:Bloom’s taxonomy, clearly defined outcomes; and diverse instructional methods. Theirconclusions come from a study that found curriculum fell into one of two camps: 1) thetraditional camps that focus on technology and related labs and exercises, and 2) in much smallernumbers, camps that take a pedagogical approach including building both the technical skills and“skills such as attitudes, motivation, and enjoyment of learning” (p. 71). The two campsrepresent the dilemma Nilson (2010) highlighted when she advocated that higher education take 3“a different and rather novel goal: to educate as

software in the courses with the Canvas platform.Chatbot is a software application that can simulate human conversation and enhance teaching.A teacher’s time and his presence in the classroom is limited; however, this application softwareoffers new ways to make a teacher’s presence and his knowledge to be available more often.Chatbot can be used as a tool for teaching and learning. It can be used to answer many students’questions such as: exam date, office hours, searching content of a chapter of the textbook,holidays, and many more.In this paper several features of chatbot and student utilization of the chatbot will be discussed.1- History of chatbotsA.

This paper concentrates on the set-up of the course and initial instructor reflections; we have not yet collected student data on how the course is meeting curricular goals.1 IntroductionMore engineering departments are offering, and sometimes requiring, courses on machine learn-ing (ML). Given the breadth of the subject area, it is no surprise that these courses vary consider-ably. Some ML courses focus on the implementation or “how to” aspects; these courses tend to becoding-heavy and may include learning objectives

presents a robust and explainable alternative for muscle segmentation in clinical andresearch applications.IntroductionMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential tool in medical diagnostics due to itsnon-invasive and whole-body imaging capabilities. However, the development of techniques toefficiently, and accurately segment individual muscles remains limited. Current methods aremainly based on 2D [1] and 3D [2] convolutional neural networks (CNNs) [3], which requireextensive annotated datasets and significant computational resources. Furthermore, theseapproaches often struggle with generalizability and underperform in segmenting smaller muscles,with Dice similarity coefficients (DSCs) [4] ranging from 0.60 to 0.80 [2]. Achieving

In this latterwork an AI tool was trained to address student inquiries in a core computer science course using1500 questions and answers archived from Piazza. The questions were categorized as beingrelated to a course policy, related to homework or some other assignment, or about a conceptualquestion. The results showed that the bot did very well at answering policy questions, faredrelatively well on assignment questions, but struggled with addressing conceptual queries, eventhough a

This playful scenario mirrors afundamental concept in computer science: linked lists. Linked lists are dynamic data structuresthat store data in interconnected nodes. They play a crucial role in various computer scienceapplications, from managing memory allocation to implementing complex algorithms. However,students often struggle with understanding linked lists due to their abstract nature and thechallenge of visualizing their structure and manipulation.This challenge is particularly pronounced in

Just as reading and writing are essential skills developed in the early years ofeducation, coding will need to fall into this category as the field of education progresses toadapt to the world’s technological changes, considered a “basic literacy” for the future [3].

For instance, Park's study highlights the importanceof structuring authentic learning tasks that encourage peer interactions, which can significantlyinfluence student engagement and performance. However, it is important to note that this studydid not find a direct relationship between behavioral interactions and performance scores. Itsuggests that peer interactions are beneficial but may not always correlate with improvedacademic outcomes[1]. This aligns with findings from Zen et al., who emphasize that project-based learning methodologies can enhance student engagement and academic achievement inonline settings[2]. Such insights are crucial for developing an effective OOP course that meetsthe varied needs of engineering
