could make fair comparisons when evaluating the demonstrations’ efficacy.DiscussionIn implementing this intervention, we observed some areas we can improve upon in the future.Because few students had Wolfram Player, the software that runs these demonstrations, alreadyinstalled on their computers, some recitation time was spent on the installation and downloadingprocess. In future semesters, we would ask students to download the software ahead of time.Once the demonstrations are finalized, we can also contribute them to the WolframDemonstrations Project library [5] for online access through web browsers.In addition, these recitations were not directly overseen by the instructor, to give students timewith their peers and student TA to explore

faculty are asked to fill the missing gap like the Open Stax University Physicsbook shows differential equation model [12]. The faculty task is not merely adding new topicsin Physics II with simplification of some topics in classical physics, it is a novel faculty task toensure that the skipping of the algebra steps in the classical physics topics can be compensatedwith a careful design of the teaching of algebra steps in modern physics topics.The modification of the Physics II to include radiation topics could be further effective whenstudent projects are included as extra credit work for those interested. For instance, theradioactive decay of creating three daughters using algebra 3x3 matrix model has been publishedand would be suitable to

The goal of this project was to investigate the feasibility of theinexpensive construction, and use of a BAN. A BAN, consisting of two nodes and a base stationwas successfully built and tested using open source and inexpensive hardware to measure pulserate, body temperature, and patient’s location. Each node consisted of a pulse sensor, atemperature sensor, a GPS module and a ZigBee wireless modem packaged together. The nodeswere designed to incorporate other sensors, such as an accelerometer, in the future. The basestation consisted of a receiving ZigBee modem and a Wi-Fi

both technical expertise and interculturalcompetence. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) emphasizes abroad education by promoting global awareness for career success, aligning with national callsfor engineering students to develop intercultural competence [1]. Employers seek graduates whocan work effectively with colleagues and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, a critical formany domestic and international projects [2]. Thus, fostering intercultural competence inengineering students is essential for their professional development.While study abroad experiences have traditionally enhanced students’ intercultural competence,engineering students often face barriers such as financial constraints and rigid

Thisquantification of intentions serves as a crucial step in the operationalization process, facilitatingthe empirical examination of these psychological constructs.Intentions provide the starting point for investigating behaviors, framing the various attitudes,beliefs, and controls that impact the behavioral decision-making process. However, intentionsalone are insufficient in predicting behaviors; a student might fail to complete assigned tasks ontime due to unexpected project challenges, even if they have strong intentions to meet deadlines.The following sections break down the components that guide intention

The shortcomings in this traditional method led to the authors’motivation to develop a better method. This project focuses on the development, usage,evaluation, and dissemination of a student learning assessment system based on LaTeX, adocument preparation system commonly used for scientific documents.

Freshmen exhibited an average score of 23.7out of 30 on the PSVT:R, while seniors scored slightly higher with an average of 24.5. Furtherexamination of the data will be necessary to identify potential differences in spread and medianbetween the two groups.Initial observations suggest that seniors may exhibit a smaller spread in their scores, indicating amore consistent performance.

We cameinto this project with a shared hypothesis that there is a missing focus on the science of learning,including the impact of interactions between faculty and students, in faculty development.
