. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 The development of an artificial intelligence classifier to automate assessment in large class settings: preliminary resultsAbstractThis evidence based practice paper presents preliminary results in using an artificialintelligence classifier to mark student assignments in a large class setting. The assessmenttask consists of an approximately 2000 word reflective essay that is produced underexamination conditions and submitted electronically. The marking is a simple pass/faildetermination, and no explicit feedback beyond the pass/fail grade is provided to the students.Each year around 1500 students complete this assignment, which places a significant andtime-constrained marking load

In this study, the confusion matrixprovides a convenient way to score question outcome (correct or incorrect) on the concept inventoryexam regarding student oral reasoning, as reflected in the transcribed student “think-alouds”. Ofcourse, the ideal outcome is a correct response with the correct oral reasoning (i.e., correct for the rightreasons). A correct answer can also occur with flawed oral reasoning. These two outcomes are the toprow of the confusion matrix in Table 1. If a student answers incorrectly, the student may have correct orincorrect reasoning. These two outcomes are the second row of the confusion matrix. The

Thinking into a Neural Engineering High School CurriculumAbstractEngineering design and computational thinking are critical to contemporary STEM research.This is reflected in the Next Generation Science Standards, which call for broadly exposingK-12 students to engineering design and computational thinking as core practices. Thedevelopment and investigation of pathways to successfully integrate these practices in all sciencedisciplines are presently limited. Here, we propose a framework for efficiently connectingcomputational thinking practices with engineering design, and describe a four weekNGSS-congruent module that strategically weaves opportunities for high school life sciencestudents to apply engineering design and

While thestudents work on these two parallel projects, a periodical intervention will help them connect thetechnical approaches to their academic project.

of Computing in EngineeringThe need to learn computer programming is well understood in some engineering disciplines; forothers, the application of programming is less evident (Arjmandi, Woo, Mankelow, Loho,Shahbaz, Auckaili, & Thambyah, 2023). Coding builds independence, computational thinking,and the ability to reflect on and critique one’s efforts (Siu, 2022). For example, when studentslearn to debug code, they are learning the process of finding solutions to their errors and beingable to view things through a critical problem-solving lens (Siu, 2022) … just the things thatengineers need to know how to do.

This self-paced format seemed to be a good fit for studentsexploring standards, with one student saying: Personally, I really preferred this type of module for AM standards over the typical lectures. Not to say that technical standards and AM standards aren't important, but it would be difficult to fully learn and understand them by just sitting through lectures about them. I thought the reflections and case study were the best activities to have gone through in the modules. Showing how to find standards and then trying to apply them and give reasoning to where they can be used was a good exercise, and made the overall topic

It can also serve as a record of their accomplishments, which may be helpful whenpreparing resumes or applications in the future.

The authors first used traditional methods of qualitativeanalysis to arrive at a set of thematic codes, then they used NLP techniques to cluster the surveyresponses and examined the semantic content captured by these techniques. They compared thethemes resulting from the traditional approach to those arrived at through NLP to identifyincongruities associated with errors and inconsistencies among human coders.Our study focuses primarily on the fourth broad category of using
