All study procedureswere approved by the Minnesota State University, Mankato Institutional Review Board (IRB).The focus of the sub-study was to answer the following research question: how do professors,facilitators, directors, and students perceive the complementary nature of the professor andfacilitator roles? In order to determine the answer to this question, the responses from students(“S”, n=15), professors (“P”, n=7), facilitators (“F”, n=7), and directors (“D”, n=1) for thefollowing questions were examined: ● What does the interaction of professors and facilitators look

The selected studies had to meet specific criteria across fivedimensions. First, the Sample (S) was limited to studies involving K-12 or higher educationstudents, with those focusing on non-educational settings or general adult populations excluded.Second, the Phenomenon of Interest (PI) focused on the integration of design-thinkingmethodologies with technology in civic education contexts.

assisted in the various collaborative activities. Forboth offerings, the middle school students completed validated and reliable pre- and post-surveysadapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey and the Group Work SkillsQuestionnaire Manual. The S-STEM survey assessed STEM interests, while the Group WorkSkills Questionnaire Manual Survey evaluated collaboration. Preliminary results from aWilcoxon Signed-Rank test indicated positive significance that the 2024 ECE summer campsessions led to greater enjoyment for campers than the 2023 offering. Daily reflection surveyswere also administered to understand the comparison of cohorts and the impact of individualactivities students participated in each day. Results were analyzed to

By training on a mixture of tasks phrasedas instructions, Flan-T5 improves its ability to follow task descriptions and generalize to new tasks. This makes Flan-T5 particularlyeffective in zero-shot and few-shot learning scenarios, where the model needs to perform well on tasks it has not explicitly beentrained on. In the context of identifying wildcard matches in cookies, Flan-T5’s improved understanding of instructions can lead tomore accurate and reliable classification results.4 Results4.1 Experimental SetupThe experimental

pedagogical modelsuggests that students do not flourish intellectually in classes that simply require them to remember andrepeat information. Instead, students benefit most from moving through a cycle that advances them froma stage of merely acquiring information to more advanced stages in which they learn to analyzeinformation and ultimately to synthesize information and apply what they’ve learned in differentsituations. Bloom’s revised taxonomy, as implemented through Bransford et al.’s model and others, maybe utilized as an integral foundation of advancements in innovation content throughout curriculumdevelopment.Five Factor Model (Big Five Personality Dimensions). “Personality is that pattern of characteristicthoughts, feelings, and behaviors

[…] I typed the comment and then in five seconds I have 10 lines of function versus that's going to take me two minutes to write 10 lines of function.” [Par. 3]Par. 3’s comment is representative of a general sentiment among students that that they solvedproblems faster when they included LLMs into their workflow.3. Knowledge retention concernsEight students acknowledged that they were unsure if their LLM usage contributed to a lack ofknowledge retention. Throughout the interviews, students revealed that at times they interactedwith LLM solely with the intention of retrieving a solution to implement into their projectwithout genuinely learning the content. For example, one student
studied [14], [15], [16], [17], butthere are fewer studies focusing on engineering students. In a scoping review, Mercer et al.[9] found that insufficient LIS research has focused on undergraduate engineering students,and what research does exist is piecemeal. The review identified key themes from theresearch to date, including: “Student information behavior mirrors that of professionals;Design thinking as a guiding force for information behavior; Design work requires the use ofspecialized information sources” [9, p. 3]. They also discuss the methods and theoreticalapproaches used in their reviewed papers.Using Mercer et al.’s 2019 review [9] as a starting point, this section will review relevantliterature since 2017, to include papers that may

ground stations are RF ground stations and use either aparabolic dish antenna or a Yagi antenna [1]. Parabolic dish antennas are shaped as concaveshell, while Yagi antennas have small perpendicular rods that run along a long main rod. Thebenefits of parabolic dish antennas are that they are less complex, inexpensive, and highlydirectional [10]. The detriment of parabolic dish antennas is that their size depends heavily ongain and desired frequency [10]. The benefits of a Yagi antenna are that they are highlydirectional and relatively inexpensive [10]. The detriments are that they have low gains if small,and high gains if large, therefore, large bandwidth results in a larger design [10]. Parabolic dishantennas tend to be used in the S-band, while

However, most of the literature is focused on either mechanics orstructural engineering courses, with little or no references concerning the education of Mohr’scircle in geotechnical engineering courses. While the concept of Mohr’s circle is notfundamentally different in geotechnical applications when compared to structural or mechanicsapplications, it still presents challenges for many learners throughout their undergraduateeducation. These challenges include the differences in sign conventions for geotechnicalapplications, the continued complexity of the topic, and that the students have not mastered theconcept from the previous course(s).A phenomenographic analysis
