Using this sequence did prevent a lot of glitches andany mistakes in the preparation of system. Also, by testing and completely understandingeach part functionality and requirements I simplified putting together a complexembedded system with multi functions such as Ethernet.Commands Used to communicate between Embedded System and GUI:The commandsare stored in the packet sent from the GUI to the Embedded System.

nanotube composites.The activities developed are tied to 6th – 8th grade California math standards and provide studentswith an opportunity to see how math can be used to solve authentic engineering researchproblems. Pre and post-surveys were conducted to measure the impact of the visitingengineer/scientist and the research-related activities on students’ perceptions towards engineersand their desire to pursue a career in engineering or science. The results related to this particularresearch will be presented as well as the results and findings for all fellows during the 2012-13school year.Carbon Nanotube Composites – An Authentic Research ProblemOverview.

project.4.1 Introductory SurveysEach student was given an introductory survey during the first week of the class. This surveyasked for demographic information (gender, prior programming experience (PPE), year in school,GPA, and major), general information (if the student was also taking the lab associated with thiscourse and how many hours of prior programming experience they had), as well as what grade theyexpected to receive in the course by the end of the semester. Students were given a drop-down menuof achievable grades in the class and asked to choose which grade option they expected themselvesto receive. Finally, the students were asked questions about their perceptions of programming andlearning preferences. For each question, five
. Doubting of actions (DA) is another prevalent feeling among engineeringstudents regarding the sufficiency of their projects and their level of satisfaction. The next sectionwill explore the limitations of current scales within the engineering domain.6 Limitations of Current Perfectionism Scales for Engineering StudentsExisting perfectionism scales, which are commonly employed to assess perfectionism, often focuson broad populations, and their dimensions are extensively used (such as [10], [14], [36]). First,none of the existing scales directly focuses on measuring perfectionism among undergraduateengineering students. Secondly, currently, there is no currently existing scale capable of measuringthe dimensionality of perfectionism
witheventual success in the field after graduation [4-6]. Some universities have implementedintervention strategies by gearing curriculum and department culture towards supportingstudents’ development of their individual engineering identities with this known promise ofstudent success [6]. Some major curricular changes surround the emphasis on design problemsused throughout engineering courses that inherently help students to feel more like an engineerafter completing the project [7]. Because the act of problem-solving correlates with the directdevelopment of all three of Godwin’s facets of engineering identity, providing more opportunityfor students to solve real-world problems correlates to retention [8] and success in the field [9].Studies have

This excessive focuson preventing dishonesty can overshadow efforts to address more impactful aspects of education,such as refining course content, developing innovative teaching strategies, and creating a moreenriching learning experience for students [33], [34].. Instead, faculty should also balance inemphasizing improving test design and preparation strategies, which can be more effective andbeneficial to
not see this as a systemsproblem.Financial barriers to internships and experiential learning. Experiential learning is a hallmark ofthe University’s undergraduate education, but access is very unevenly distributed amongstudents, with UR/US students reporting more barriers to access—such as the need for easytransportation to get to an internship or project site, and the inability to take do co-curricularactivities that are unpaid or after typical class hours, when they need to work. Uneven fundingacross schools and majors contributes to these barriers, making this an institutional barrier.Advising.

Finally, 59% and 35% strongly agreed, and 67% and 25% agreed, forsections 1 and 2, respectively, that the class has been a valuable learning experience for them.Only 6% of students from section 1 disagreed. There were no comments related to this number.For the AR development engagement, we received the following feedback from the student whoassisted with the tutorials that went into the AR application, “… we are able to cross the barrierbetween learning and understanding via AR ….

in the classroom. It is not uncommon for there to be only one or twowomen present in the sophomore level engineering courses such as Dynamics or Mechanics ofMaterials. The advice offered that seems most applicable is for faculty to ensure that theirclassroom culture fosters mutual respect and to encourage collaborative projects [9]. Thissupports not only students in the minority, but everyone in the classroom.Future Research and LimitationsThere is a bias present in any survey based on who chooses to respond. In this study 89% of therespondents reported that they were fairly or very confident that they would keep their currentchoice of major. This may skew the data on identity and sense of belonging to be overestimated.Future work could

With the negative beliefs, “incompetent” was correlated with “helpless,”“ashamed,” and “defeated,” each in eight out of the 11 subgroups, while “defeated” and“ashamed” were also correlated with each other in eight subgroups. While statistical overlap wasthe starting point of discussion, the majority of experiential belief items were ultimately cutbased on the stated goal of this project: to produce a shorter, intervention-driven version of theinstrument. As experiential beliefs are based in emotional responses to the idea of seeking help,they are more vague and less actionable as key intervention targets

For example,Gabbay and Cohen developed a framework for LLMs to complement automated test-basedfeedback in programming courses, evaluating the quality of the feedback and demonstrating thepotential of tools like GPT-4 to enhance feedback on code assignments [22]. Vadaparty et al.examined the integration of LLMs in an introductory programming course, focusing on students’experiences and reactions to the LLM’s ability to enhance learning and creativity in project-basedassessments [23]. Jury et al. developed WorkedGen, a tool that utilizes LLMs to generateinteractive worked examples for programming courses. They provided expert
