Students discussed the highlights of a research paper in their team beforepresenting a brief summary, questions, and additional thoughts for the class to discuss. The topicscovered in these discussions spanned a wide range of topics including: (1) the impact ofadvanced technology and AI on work (AI, Robotic Process Automation, Chatbots) [7], [8], [9];(2) organizational design and its impacts on how people will work (Crowd Work, Care Work,Telework, Smart Working, Remote Work, Four Day Workweek) [10], [11], [12]; (3)demographics of workers, (4) communication and coordination (Human-machine interaction andhuman-human interaction), (5) collaboration and social interactions

manipulation and hands-on examination, such as labpractice and experimentation, so far, have been difficult to replicate in the online learningenvironment (OLE) [15]-[17]. Additionally, a new generation of ‘digitally native’ students maydemand more interactivity and involvement [18]-[22] than what online education has providedthus far.To foster greater student engagement while also accounting for individual learner differences andaddressing some of the challenges of the distributed learning environment, a variety ofapproaches have been suggested, ranging from collaborative environments [9],[23],[24] overproblem-, project-, situation-, or inquiry-based learning [25]-[27] to gamifications [6],[28]-[32]1The term self-engagement was introduced by [42] to

This information consequently informs instructors and other stakeholders ininstructional processes.A key element of these analyses are the underlying patterns or groupings in the data whichresearchers hope are informative. Using methods such as analysis of variance (ANOVA), t tests,or tests of invariance, these groupings are explicated by the researcher and are known a priori.However, cluster analysis, a method for identifying those groupings which are close togethersolely from the data provided, may prove useful in augmenting instructor and stakeholderunderstanding of student characteristics. “Cluster analysis is the organization of a collection ofpatterns

A Case Study on How to Implement Applied Learning as an Institutional Baccalaureate Graduation RequirementAbstractThe definition of applied learning has broadened from hands-on assignments to assisting studentsto develop essential knowledge and skills through contextualized real-world learning to preparefor employment, community engagement, and further education through courses or co-curricularactivities. Applied learning includes experiences such as practicum, undergraduate research,internships, clinical placement, civic engagement, service learning, cooperative learning, andindependent/directed study.

From which we can set up anormative score and explore if it can be used to identify students with entrepreneurial inclinationand correlate that to future success in entrepreneurship programs (e.g. the SAT is normalized to amean score of 500, with one standard deviation points at 400 and 600.

In spite of these programs running fordecades, the interaction between universities and companies was not progressing fast enough.Therefore, a few years ago NSF’s Directorates for Education and Human Resources; Engineering;and Computer and Information Science and Engineering introduced ‘Non-Academic ResearchInternships for Graduate Students (INTERN)’. Even the critics of Stokes’ model have recognizedthat ‘working with industry can provide tremendous benefits and generate many new questions offundamental importance’ [5].A key aspect that is absent in these various analyses of research has been the education

Neurodivergent characteristics, such asattention to detail, creativity, and pattern recognition, align well with careers in STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), yet retention of neurodivergent students withinengineering programs is lower than neurotypical students [1]. Neurodivergent students whograduate or attempt to enter the workforce in a STEM discipline face bias and decreased successrates in job attainment after graduation [2].

One faculty member mentionedthat neither they nor their associated graduate students or collaborative researchers have theskills, resources, and time available to organize data in a meaningful way. For some AE faculty,such an organization project would not be worth the effort anyway: “[If] we think the data's not really going to be used, and we're the only ones who's going to use it, that's a lot of effort to go to make all that information and organize it and then it's a waste of time if no one does it.

The authors then used the analysis to locate disciplinary pockets as well asareas and topics of interests.
