Our study is focused on rewardpoints and leaderboard and evaluating their impact on student learning.Collaborative learning: Collaborative interactions among individuals, has shown positive resultsacross different levels of education, ranging from young children doing their school projects likecraft work in teams to university students working on development projects [17],[ 21]. At thesame time, it is essential to make a distinction between team performance and teameffectiveness. This is because team performance represents the results of group’s activities whilepaying little heed to how the group have accomplished the task. Team effectiveness, however,takes a more holistic point of view in considering not only whether the group

Thus, the course will require students to purchase their own hardware to build afinal project. To offset this cost, the class will rely on open source teaching materials whenavailable. Consequently, most of the referenced books are available for free and provide thenecessary technical content that is appropriate for our students’ level.Section 1: Background (Weeks 1-3)This section refreshes analytical and programming topics that are needed for EAI.In terms mathematical content, we will

Research Purpose and QuestionsPast efforts to foster inclusion have primarily focused on the numbers and been limited in theways we teach, train and expose people to learning inclusiveness and empathy. Moreover, suchefforts are also linked to the misconception that increasing demographic representationnecessitates an inclusive environment. Cultures must change to achieve inclusion. The role of thefaculty in shaping culture, specifically in engineering, is critical and yet, understudied.

As an example: I was in a group project last semester, and Imade some suggestions. Everybody ignored my comment.

Finally, being unable to be authentic was also prevalent among the students of color in thisstudy. For example, a Latina woman discussed how she tailored her behavior when performingher leadership duties: “The way I converse, definitely a male thing. Because I definitely talk a littlebit differently when I'm with family and people I know very well.” Thus, failing to includeracialized and gendered experiences may overlook factors that can act as stressors on the leadershipexperiences and development of engineering students.AcknowledgementFunding for this project was provided by the National Science Foundation under grant EEC-ENG1738132.

The introduction of Team-based learning (TBL) in the 1980s marked a significant shift inaddressing the challenges of large class settings in educational environments [1], [2]. Originally abusiness school innovation, TBL has now permeated various disciplines including engineering,medicine, and social sciences globally. Some courses, such as first-year engineering, maycombine TBL with project-based learning (PBL) to introduce students to common engineeringthemes such as design, sustainability, and ethics. Despite its wide-ranging benefits, TBL'seffectiveness can be inequitable for a variety of reasons, including free riders, imbalances in taskallocation, and more broad communication issues [3], [4]. Thus, the application of teamworkassessment

It is desirable that the underlying NLP models do not expose theprivate information contained in the training data. However, de-identification methods even whenapplied correctly yield data that sometimes retains the risks of identification [13]. Because mostITSs have not been geared towards patients, privacy of the models and user data has not been amajor concern, therefore the research gap we intend to address is that of maintaining privacy whilemaintaining accuracy and low latency during NLP model training that may be computationallyintensive.2 Project

These studies highlight the significance of these psychologicalfactors in shaping students' academic performance and learning outcomes in the field ofmechanical engineering [2][4].Several strategies could be employed to improve self-efficacy and motivation in MechanicalEngineering students. One effective approach is the implementation of active learning strategies[8], [9]. Active learning methods, such as flipped classroom model, problem-based learning,collaborative projects, and hands-on activities, have been shown to enhance students' self-efficacy and motivation by providing them with opportunities to apply engineering principles inreal-world scenarios [10], [11], [12], [13], [14].
