Instructors can integrate reflection activities in their courses to provide multipleopportunities to students for metacognitive engagement. During reflection, students regulatetheir cognition by engaging themselves in three dimensions of metacognition

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

As someone who has lived and worked in different countries, I bring a diverse perspective to my research, teaching, and interactions within the academic community. My international background influences how I approach topics in the classroom and in my scholarly work. Engaging in collaborative research projects with colleagues from around the world has deepened my appreciation for the interconnectedness of global issues in engineering education.

Engineering Education, 2024 Improving Efficiency and Consistency of Student Learning Assessments: A New Framework Using LaTeXAbstractInstructors often rely on What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) word processorapplications like Microsoft Word to create student learning assessments such as homeworkassignments and exams. 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. We call it the StudentLearning Assessment Modular System (SLAMS). With this system, educators
tends to center around consumers inforeign countries and a specific market segment (e.g., mature adults, seniors, or young people).User needs analysis is complex as it varies according to the product, scope of the project, type ofusers and their roles, implementation constraints, and development and design timeline [24]. Theliterature is scarce on comparisons of generational differences among consumers within theUnited States and their affective-cognitive decision making in adoption of smart devices. Thisstudy analyzes affective-cognitive constructs that contribute to adoption of wearable andenvironmental smart devices for college students and their parents and applies the findings toexample use cases in engineering design.The research

CATME is a web-based application developed byresearchers at Purdue University to improve the effectiveness of student teams in collaborativelearning environments [34]. Students were required to collectively complete thirteen weeklyhomework assignments and one group project in the collaborative learning framework.Additionally, students were encouraged to prepare for exams as a group. However, aside fromthis collaborative approach to coursework and study, students were required to individuallycomplete two midterm exams and a final exam.Participants and Data CollectionPre- and post-course surveys were

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. This could be interpreted as, barring outliers, seniors tend to

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. Webelieve this is a key factor in why there is limited change in faculty beliefs and behaviorsregarding teaching and learning as a result of faculty development programs.Elements of our CoP programming that were successful as reported by our first cohort ofparticipants included

Marketers haverecognized girls are attracted to technology when it is social and involves relationshipswith others. One toy consultant remarked that the conventional wisdom is girls don’t likehigh-tech toys but the truth is girls like it but they want it to express who they are (3).Although the ultimate goal of marketers may be financial, the lessons learned are modelswe can all emulate.

Integrating Traffic Engineering Field Hardware and Research Methodologies into Transportation Engineering Education Edward J. Smaglik Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZAbstractThe limited coordination between design and implementation is a significant challengethat must be overcome when implementing a traffic engineering project. Manyengineers, particularly recent graduates, may be well versed in traffic theory but may nothave the experience to understand the challenges and issues that arise during fieldimplementation. Furthermore, the tools typically used for analysis and design may notprovide a complete picture of the range of operational issues that may be
