include clustering, geneticalgorithms, and hill climbing optimization. The latter is the approach we take.2.1 ClusteringClustering algorithms can be used to group data using some measure of similarity. They work by groupingpoints which are close together into the same clusters. In common approaches such as k-means or fuzzyc-means clustering, this is done by repeatedly assigning points to clusters based on cluster centroidsand updating cluster centroids to reflect the newly assigned points until convergence. This approach iscomputationally efficient, but poses some challenges. Clustering algorithms are inherently designed togroup similar points together, which limits these algorithms to producing homogeneous groups. And whileclustering algorithms
instructors adopted digital technologies “as a replacement forthe missing physical learning environments, with the learning process remaining the same. Thisresulted in ineffective learning when compared to traditional face-to-face learning environments”(p. 294). 82 students in the Qatar study participated in written reflections about their experiencesand eight students were interviewed. The students felt that the emergency remote learningenvironment needed to “be supported by teaching activities that involve more participationthrough interactive activities and teamwork” [15, p. 13]. Overall, the surveys and interviewsshowed that the quality of instruction suffered after the move to remote teaching in Spring 2020.MethodologyThe results in this paper
level contributes to this vision. Despite some gains in recent decades, women faculty inengineering are still underrepresented. Between 2006 and 2016, the proportion of women facultyin engineering grew from 16% to 23% at the assistant level, from 11.9% to 18.3% at theassociate level, and from 3.8% to 10.6% at the full professor level [2], [3]. While the proportionof women faculty at the lower ranks has increased significantly, the limited representation ofwomen at higher faculty ranks limits their potential for reaching leadership roles andcontribution with significant decision-making to influence engineering education [4]. Althoughthe presented gains are of value, and may already reflect the effect of multiple initiativesimplemented to support
