Once the measurements are completed, they are sent to a central server forstorage and eventual analysis.The 197 IPv6 reachable domains were polled at 60-minute intervals for a period of 24 hoursfrom four network monitoring agents deployed in Toronto, New York City, and San Francisco.The use of multiple agent location vantage points helps avoid biases associated with anindividual location. The agents at each location were deployed in Virtual Machines (VMs)hosted by Digital Ocean. Each VM ran on CentOS 7.3 with 1 CPU, 512MB of memory, 20GB ofstorage on a Solid-State Drive (SSD), 1TB of transfer data, and was enabled for both IPv4 andIPv6. Digital Ocean was chosen as the

The understanding ofmechanical properties, such as resilience, yield stress, normal strain, and modulus of elasticity, isstrengthened and extended beyond textbook and lecture knowledge. At the same time, thisproject helps students get more practice in sample production, measurement, and testingprocesses. Pre- and post-surveys focused on learning efficacy, research interest, laboratoryexperience, and team working were completed by the students. This paper presents the results ofboth surveys, evaluation of the discussion and conclusion sections from the students' projectreports, and reflections on how the 2018 project modifications affected student
design, thefollowing list of recommendations was obtained: • To carry out shared processes that reduce the resistance of academic community to change (awareness plan, spaces for reflection) • To share good practices at national and international level (international benchmarks) • To develop strategic plan of improvement measures • To define training purposes for the 21st century • To define teacher training policy • To make closer connection with market and industry • To manage efficiently the search of resources (not only externally but internally)ConclusionsUndoubtedly, the application of the outcome-based approach has become an integral part of thetransformations taking place in the system of higher engineering
has indeed shifted from broad domains ordomains that are related to entrepreneurial mindset to specific dimensions, such as those found in anypsychometric protocol. Furthermore, this particular sentiment is mimicked by the strict and more moderndefining of the entrepreneurial mindset as being one that “reflects deep cognitive phenomena,” including“particularly deep beliefs and assumptions” (Krueger, 2015). This increased rigor in the definition ofentrepreneurial mindset coupled with an expansion of survey instruments designed to create dimensionsendemic to it is promising, but it is still too early to determine the future of this line of study.In the spirit of sharing our work, we have composed this brief work-in-progress as an addendum to
to and advance through education and training programs leading to stackable credentials. These career pathways can be implemented by developing and executing articulation agreements between the educational institutions thus avoiding any ambiguity. 6. Continuous Improvement: The term continuous improvement is used across industries to describe a process or approach to problem solving that represents an ongoing effort to improve outcomes. On a regular basis, sponsors, community partners, and any academic institutions involved should reflect and learn from experience while testing and refining strategies to produce imporved results. The MAP team must constantly be alert and aware of areas of needing

Data on student engagement is collected from theresponse the students gave to a questionnaire. For brevity, the rubric for step 1 (studentengagement) and step 4 (planning) is indicated in Table 1 and 2 in Appendix 1. The data wascollected for each of the twelve open-ended homework questions and averaged at the end of thesemester.Besides, a second questionnaire is

The selected coding practices are applicable to C++and Java. Each secure coding practice is assigned a weight reflecting its importance and severity.We consider a set of 43 students’ programming assignments in C++ and Java, with all of thembeing anonymized for Personally Identifiable Information. Each assignment typically has differentcoding practices that are relevant, which is a result of the difference in requirements amongassignments. The problem description of each assignment is analyzed to determine the applicablesecure coding practices to each submitted

In their article, Kessel and Linn[1] claim that college admissions officers may be missing talented females if they are relyingheavily on ACT and SAT scores. Their article points out that “females report spending moretime reflecting on similarities among problems, organizing and linking their ideas, and review-ing material” and because of this, they tend to be less able to demonstrate speed and

Provocative subjects included: • Developing their awareness of their own views, assumptions and beliefs, and how they are shaped by their own culture. • Asking them questions like: what do you see as ”national” characteristics in your own country? Which “national” characteristic do you like and dislike in yourself? • Asking them to take an interest and read about their teammates’ country and culture, and start to consider the differences between cultures and customs, • Avoiding making judgements, but instead to collect information, by asking their teammates neutral questions and clarify meaning

Storming - The team come up with and interchange ideas. Eventually choosing a course of action 3. Norming - Once the ideas have been finalised the team begins working together. Each team member begins to take on their roles in the team and the rules of engagement are formed. 4.

the purpose of programmatic assessment. Eliot and Turns [12] investigated the useof professional statements, artifacts, and reflections in students' ability to identify as engineersand future engineering professionals. The authors discovered that students developed both anexternal frame of reference targeting the expectations of future employers and an internal framefocused on individual values and interests. Abdulaal and colleagues [13] explored theimplementation and deployment of a career orientation course originally piloted in a biologyprogram but later offered across several programs throughout the college. Findings from mockinterviews suggested an increase in confidence toward career preparation skills and ability toarticulate one’s
mentor and mentee responses, showedstudents perceived significant differences in their own gains in analyzing data, thinkingcreatively, and working independently. This is not particularly surprising: research has foundself-ratings of traits, abilities, performance, or leadership typically be higher than the ratingsprovided by observers [13, 14]. Interestingly, literature also assert that such a self-enhancementbias may be psychologically healthy in that it reflects positive self-evaluation and results in bothfewer negative thoughts and also higher expectancies for success in new endeavors [13,14].Table 1.

underrepresented groups (4%).Creativity increased over the course of the semester: Our data was accepted to be normallydistributed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. There were no statistically significant beginning-of-semester differences by any assessment between the control and intervention sections byunpaired t-test. Further, the overall scores for end-of-course evaluations did not differ betweenthe semesters (p=0.46; effect size, Cohen’s d=0.02).Regardless of course section, control or intervention, there was a significant improvement by theend of the semester in the fluency, flexibility, and originality aspects of creativity (Table 1).These changes reflect those seen by us in a first-year engineering course with an authentic designexperience [1], though

The interviews take place in person at respondents’ campus location. The authorhas conducted 31 interviews out of the approximately 50 participants identified. The author will analyze the qualitative interview data using the analysis software,Atlas.ti. Using interview transcripts as well as reflective memos generated during datacollection, the author will analyze the variety of developmental relationship functions andcommon themes that emerge from the experiences described by the engineering faculty.

Reference [17] suggests thateducators and researchers should “look more broadly than psychometric tests of spatial ability toidentify components of spatial intelligence or adaptive spatial thinking.”There are several limitations in implementing this study. First, the assessment of the relationshipbetween the two test scores did not involve a pretest, and the data analysis in this study provideda snapshot of the relationship between the two test scores at the end of the study (posttest) only.This practice might justify the correlational analysis when two score sets are collected at thesame place and time, but there is a high possibility that students could develop spatial skillsduring the

The exposure to research topics and methods from many fieldsencourages students to re-imagine and contextualise their own work.Prior to the inaugural competition, a library resident was tasked with reviewing and analysingsimilar events at other post-secondary institutions. Nine competitions were identified, and theresident librarian was able to correspond with organizers at seven of the host institutions in orderto gain insight into their experiences [8]. The results of this analysis informed the timeline andprocedures for the first event, which have since been refined over subsequent iterations of thecompetition
this study, these video data provedindispensable, allowing us to observe and analyze the interactions and behaviors of the youth asthey navigated through their engineering successes and failures.The eight groups of youth captured on video were also asked to participate in a brief focus groupat the conclusion of their final activity. Having spent considerable time working together, weasked participants to reflect as a group on their engineering experiences. Researchers facilitatedthe focus groups and captured them on video. These conversations shed light on youths’perceptions of their engineering work, and their thoughts about engineering as a possible careerchoice.A survey of youths’ engineering interests and attitudes (EIA) was also completed

Particularly, single factors were identified for two of themeasurement of improvement used: Raw and Tier, but multiple factors are needed for apredictive model using Percentage as improvement indicator. It is of interest as well that the one-factor models identify question that belong to the same subset, questions that require rotationabout at least two axes in order to have a correct answer.

The TAP evaluation involves classroom observations, coaching, and feedback/reflection for professional growth. Kara has worked with 60+ student teachers in various subjects at the pre-K through 12th grade level, and conducted over 100 TAP classroom observations. Since the fall of 2016, Kara has been working with the JTFD Project, an NSF grant working to improve active learning in engineering education. She has completed 300 RTOP classroom observations in ASU engineering courses (civil, environmental, construction
Autumn 2018, bothcontained the same question regarding the number of hours spent using the textbook. In Autumn2017, students were still using the paper textbook. However, students were asked the samequestion in Autumn 2018, after the implementation of the zyBooks e-bookAs seen in Table 3, student usage of the textbook increased by an average of roughly 30 minutesper week after the implementation of the use of the zyBooks e-book. Given the course averageremained relatively constant, as seen in Figure 4, even though students spent more time workingon their textbook, their grade did not reflect an obvious change.

3 (9%) 4 (10%)As one can see, about half of the computer science students believed that the highest privacyshould be set as the default. This was only true for 35% of students registered in the businessethics course. In addition, about a fifth of students from the business ethics course believed thatthe lowest privacy should be set as the default level of privacy. However, this option wasselected by around 12% of computer science students. This finding shows that, computer sciencestudents were more cautious about the issue of privacy compared to their non-computer sciencepeers. This can be attributed to the knowledge computer science students possessed regarding theissue of privacy which was reflected in some of computer
be addressed during the summeris a very important thing to reflect on. My weaknesses were clearly related to my lack of generalconstruction industry knowledge, with the exception of my financial experience, and engineeringskills. My threats were focused mainly on my ability to self-teach myself when needed andgaining a sense of complacency. This summer was an opportunity to learn and fill knowledgegaps. I felt that if I was not constantly gaining experience, time was being wasted. This in turnpushed my opportunities. The constant desire to learn something new once I felt comfortablewith a certain aspect of my job was key to my knowledge base growing. Being able tounderstand where I started and where I needed to be by the end of the summer
many important conclusions. SNU students, for example, indicated that theyrelied heavily upon their UD counterparts with regard to open-ended problems and goals andprocedures that were purposely loosely defined in this senior level lab. Groups that matchedSNU transfers with traditional UD students performed well, and indicated a high level ofsatisfaction with lab partners. “The most significant observation from this exercise was the impact of peer-to- peer learning on both Chinese and American student performance… grades reflect the benefit. It was not, however, anticipated that this environment would also promote a better understanding of the material for the associated American students
