behalf of the professor. She did not cite scientific evidence or pedagogical best practices to support her belief that it is a problem if universities think of their students as customers who should be satisfied, and it is not a problem if students aren’t coming to class. It is important to distinguish opinion from fact. The same is true for her belief that the university may not support the professor if he gives grades that accurately reflect his students’ achievement.A Customer Relationship Management system can support multiple approved channels forcommunication that can be used any time and at designated touchpoints.

Furthermore, a study conducted by Lilley andLarnell (2023) on historically minoritized graduate students in STEM, including engineering, identified the impactof continuous microaggressions and social isolation on their mental health. This research highlighted the need forevidence-based support systems specifically designed for students from historically marginalized communities tomitigate the effects of intimidating academic environments [33]. Another study, focusing on the Indian context,highlighted the role of interpersonal stressors, including changes in social activities and disagreements with peers,as significant contributors to students’ stress.

educationally valuable video games to use in their curriculum. Inrecent years, EVGs have become an increasingly used tool within higher education curriculumdue to their potential for improving and supporting active educational engagement. We defineEVGs as video games designed to help people understand concepts and learn domain knowledge.We have two research questions we seek to answer during the development of the database.Firstly, what patterns, trends, and gaps are found within the landscape of EVGs? Secondly, whatcharacteristics do higher education instructors want in this database to help them find EVGs?These questions allow the database to become a beneficial tool by filling the practical needs ofacademic faculty. Factors such as teaching style

While MRS providesa PowerPoint Poster template, there is no specific format for the poster and students areencouraged to present their material that best fits their research. Students are also encouraged toremember that posters are a visual experience so font size, organization, and graphics are allimportant at conveying your point and that language needs to be concise. The poster mustinclude the following sections as a minimum: • Background: Give an overview of the relevant history or technical details that inform the problem you are interested in. • Thesis/Problem Statement: What specific aspect of the topic is your group focusing on?

impactful attacks faced by SMBs?” This allows us tocenter the scope of our research on the most frequent and impactful attacks. This is done in orderto maximize the area of coverage with as little workforce as possible, due to the limited nature ofan SMB. Our research found that, the most frequent attacks are phishing/social engineering,malware/ransomware, and web-based attacks (Section 3.1).Third. “How can the workforce be equipped with the necessary knowledge, and skills to applythe best practices?” This helps us incorporate the NICE Framework as a bridge between theworkforce and the best practices by mapping the TKSA to the most frequent attacks. However,the NICE workforce framework lists a total of 634 knowledges, 377 skills, 1006 tasks, and

Data and Data Science require new IT graduates to demonstrate theirmastery in data acquisition, data management, and data inference skills when they enter theworkforce (Mithun & Luo, 2020). Thus, introductory programming courses such as databaseprogramming and design represent crucial milestones in IT education, as they reflect students'ability to solve problems and design appropriate solutions (Skala & Drilk, 2018). But, for noviceprogrammers learning SQL programming and logical database design concepts is a challengingtask because while writing SQL programs, students not only have to apply theoretical conceptssuch as syntax and semantics but also practical concepts such as problem-solving at the same time,which results in cognitive

This meeting iscritical since this is the instructor’s best opportunity to manage the scope of the project and makesure that the project that the student can complete in time for the final presentation. A latermeeting is used to review the project design and assess the student’s progress towardscompletion. During the final presentations I usually provide feedback on next steps based on afuture work slide.Table 2 summarizes the different milestones mapped to a 15-week semester. The expectation isthat there is about 6 weeks total for the project, with a possible 4 weeks of actual development.In practice, the actual development time varies from student to student and varies from 1 week to4 weeks. 2 weeks should be enough time for a student
