in theUniversity of Missouri system, close to 90 percent of the 7,000-plus students enrolled areseeking degrees in engineering or hard sciences. There are approximately 440 full- and part-timefaculty members, the majority of which are tenured or tenure-track. Eighty-three percent are inSTEM disciplines.Many of these professors were teaching several years ago when it was common for freshmen inpacked lecture halls to hear, “Look to your right; look to your left. One of you won’t be here thistime next year.” Although that is no longer the accepted slogan at Missouri S&T, and studentsgenerally hear more empathetic messages from faculty on campus dedicated to their success,teaching strategies have not evolved all that much over the years

This dataincluded hourly readings of the turbine operating conditions over two thousand hours ofoperation. From this database, approximately eight hundred data points were used to train thenetwork.Students need to make several decisions in creating the model. The first of these is whatparameters to use as input parameters and which to model as output parameters. For each ofthese data points, the turbine inlet temperature, air temperature, air pressure, steam injection rate,time since cleaning, power output, and heat rate were entered into the database created in Excel.Two separate
