Our methodology is based on exploratory data miningand visualization for analyzing and visualizing raw student data from multiple data sources. Theexploratory analysis serves two purposes, 1) it supports the instructor's desire to gain insightsinto the implementation of a flipped

However, for time-resolved ortime-dependent observational data and other nontraditional data, complications arise due to thecomplexity of the data being interpreted and analyzed. In this paper, we present two promisingnew methods for calculating IRR based on visual representations of analyzed time-resolved data.We compare the

At Carnegie Mellon University, the general engineeringstudents in the freshmen course Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering prepare forengineering design projects by receiving training in the modern making skills of CAD software,3D printing, laser cutting-engraving, power tools, and Arduino. This study analyzed the self-assessment of students’ confidence level to apply these maker skills before and after completingthe course. Results showed a

This concern withengineering student retention has pointed to many issues including the early math requirements,specifically, Calculus I.

Introduction To help starting engineering students in properly preparing for their engineering careers,introductory engineering textbooks advise them to devote a minimum of two to three hours ofstudy for every lecture-hour they attend [1]. In such textbooks, the point is often made that inhigh school most learning takes place in the classroom, whereas in college most learning takesplace outside the classroom. This important point correlates with other studies based on cognitivepsychology, which point out that the
