Traditional projects and grades are also aproblem, since failure or sub-standard work to meet any standard for flight is not acceptable.Adequate lab space, resources, specialty tools, and expertise in blueprint analysis are alsodifficult challenges to meet, especially for the large number of inexperienced students whocome into this course at every offering.The way that Cal Poly has been meeting the above challenges is both unique and risky.

aresponse to the growing complexity of software development. The traditional project managementapproach, where requirements and design for the total system are created prior to implementation,was not reliably delivering high-quality results. Nowadays, agile practices are incorporated intoseveral project methodologies widely adopted by professional organizations developing technologyproducts. In this paper, we explore the perception of agile’s effectiveness among a diverse group ofprofessionals with experience using these methodologies.To gauge attitudes toward agile, professionals in software development, project and productmanagement, and leadership roles were interviewed. Interviewees were asked to define the agileapproach to project management

Education, 2023 TUNING THE PARAMETERS: A MARITIME-TUNED MACHINE LEARNING COURSE0: AbstractIn machine learning (ML) education, the choice of which datasets to utilize for studentassignments and projects is critical for student success and meeting course learning outcomes.Poorly chosen datasets leave students disinterested and questioning the applicability of ML inreal-world situations specific to their intended endeavors post academia. Additionally, somedatasets demand much effort for preprocessing and a steep learning curve for understanding,which detracts from the ML experience and leaves students frustrated.

In some organizations, the task of defining the software process(process engineering) and tracking its execution is the responsibility of the project manager. Inother organizations, a quality assurance organization defines a process for a project, and theproject manager tracks its execution.

Other students, however, become frustratedand disheartened, and ask to be returned to a comfortable state of structure, guidance, andtraditional learning. The self-directed knowledge acquisition in technical disciplines hashistorically been a controversial approach that deserves our close examination, as some studentscite self-direction as a positive contributor to learning, while others report decreases in learningdue to student control. In this paper, we explore the issues surrounding student directed learningin a project-based introductory materials science course.

The modules are structured toensure that target concepts are discovered by the student during successful completion ofthe module. The modules typically require an hour to complete, and are assigned in placeof two traditional drill problems. DBEE uses design to introduce basic concepts;therefore, the inclusion of DBEE into engineering science courses does not requireadditional study time from the student. The DBEE project was implemented in a 1995pilot study partially funded by an equipment grant from Hewlett-Packard.

Students completed the design, obtained approval from the customer (the nonprofit trailgroup), and obtained approval from local and state governments. Because this was a capstonecourse, students were required to demonstrate knowledge and skills they acquired during theirfour-year degree program. As such, they created the blueprints of the new design, estimated costsand materials, scheduled the construction, and fulfilled the role of project manager. Constructionprofessionals mentored the students as they built the trailhead restroom. The magic words
