understand the rigor and intensity of anengineering curriculum before committing to the engineering bachelor degree.ChallengesSimilar to most academic programs, even successful AS/BE programs experiencechallenges that require monitoring. Notable challenges that can impact a dual/jointprogram include having consistent data, alignment of curriculum, providing adequatesupport services, and supporting student with academic difficulties.Data ConsistencyThe lack of conformity with regards to data poses significant challenges when dealingwith different institutions. One major question is whether a joint/dual degree programstudent should be classified as such when s/he first enters into a program at thecommunity college or at some defined stage afterwards
quantitiesof textual data by processing data sets in both time and resource efficient ways.One of the tasks that NLP is used for in analyzing textual data sets is that of stylometry.Stylometry can be understood as a linguistic analysis of use of words in terms of both choice andorder, which can help characterize traits of a single or group of author(s). Fox, Ehmoda, andCharniak (2012) describe the underlying principle behind work on authorship attribution to be aset of statistically quantifiable characteristics of the writing style reflected by the word/phrasechoices of individuals which make it easy to distinguish one author from the other. Stylometry isthus a type of quantitative or statistical analysis which helps identify and characterize

Onestudent might choose to bring in the catalog pages that depict an American Girl doll that wearsan insulin pump, another might show a YouTube video of a child receiving a cochlear implant,and a third might play part of 3OH!3’s song “Don’t Trust Me” that includes the lyrics “Shush,girl. Shut your lips. / Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.” As students share theseartifacts with their peers, they are honing their ability to see how representation matters indisability studies.

advice,feedback, and guidance on the issues teams faced in pursuing a path to commercialization.Course Evaluation and Feedback. Assessment of learning outcomes, course dynamics, andeffectiveness was achieved through anonymous pre- and post-course surveys of participants(Table 2). The survey included three short answer questions to determine role on the team, area(s)of expertise, and intention/history of attendance. Following the role identification questions wereten questions aimed at ranking knowledge gained from the course. Then, following the sameranking format, five questions aimed to determine participant enthusiasm over aspects of thecourse, such as excitement to network or to hear other teams present. The survey concluded witha final
tocommunicate with the Arduino is extremely easy to install because it is an Add On inMATLAB®. The code to set up the input and output channels is simpler to understand sostudents would hopefully not be frustrated by a bunch of pre-written code that seemedmysterious. The wiring would be simpler since students would not have to use a screwdriver tosecure wires into a terminal. The Arduino is significantly cheaper than the myDAQ so it wouldbe possible to purchase additional units, allowing students to work in groups of two rather thanthree.Bibliography1. M. J.

Software tools may be nice to have for SoftwareEngineering projects but are not as “must-have” as supplies and equipment for UTDesignprojects are. .The two senior design programs raises some interesting questions that will have to be dealt with.Among them is academic credit for major degree requirements through properly structuredinternships with some faculty involvement (other universities have already done so, e.g. [9]).References:1.

There is no currently existing CIfor networking and telecommunications. Our initial results seem to suggest that the developmentof a CI for this field would be very useful. However, we would like this CI to be applicable to adiverse set of students, with respect to both their culture and their educational level(undergraduate and graduate). At the moment, the development of such a CI is still in an earlystage.In summary, this study expands the breadth of knowledge on student preconceptions in STEMby including the subject of QoS in telecommunications, identifying some of thepreconception(s
