comparison between the results.ResultsIt is intriguing to think that there is grade inflation for Summer 2021 because the students did theirtests from home in both courses, since the possibility of cheating was higher. In fact, the open-book, and the permitted Excel sheet in the last test in the Kinematics course could also facilitategrade inflation8. However, the results in Figures 1 and 2 show the contrary. Figure 1 shows theresults for each test in the Kinematics course of Summer 2021 when students took the testsremotely and they were allowed only one attempt per test, i.e. SAT.

educational out-comes.1 IntroductionJava is a critical component of computer science curricula due to its relevance in industry andacademia. However, its steep learning curve poses significant challenges for students and instruc-tors alike. Traditional lecture-only teaching methods often fall short in helping students graspabstract concepts such as object-oriented programming (OOP), polymorphism, and generics.To address these challenges, we propose a teacher-guided, project-based coding practice. Thisapproach supplements traditional lectures with interactive lab sessions where students actively en-gage with real-world projects under instructor guidance. By contextualizing theoretical knowledgethrough practice, this method bridges the gap between

[1] Generative AI tools were, andlargely still are, seen as a threat to the creative process—ultimately something that academicsshould reject. While these sentiments are perfectly valid, there is a growing body of researchevaluating AI’s benefits. What if there was a way to harness this technology to improve studentengagement and outcomes?

Thesecourses often employ various teaching methods, including demonstration-based, collaborative,inquiry-based, and experiential learning, to engage students in hands-on experiences that connectclassroom theory with real-world engineering problems [1-9]. Currently, the University ofGeorgia Biomedical Engineering Lab follows a demonstration-based approach, where studentsperform isolated experiments designed to illustrate specific theoretical principles. We intuit thatthis method is effective for helping students learn to apply individual course concepts incontrolled settings, but it may limit students’ ability to transfer knowledge between experimentsand apply

Theconstruction sector significantly impacts national economies, from shaping urban landscapes tobuilding essential infrastructure. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics [1], employment inconstruction-related occupations is projected to grow faster than the average for all fields overthe next decade, creating 663,500 annual job openings from industry growth and retirements.This underscores the rising demand for professionals who have both engineering and projectmanagement skills.Construction Engineering (CONE) programs

Briefly summarized, the sensor response is characterized by a time constant𝜏 based on the lumped capacitance method of evaluating conduction (a standard topic in heattransfer textbooks, e.g., [1]). In this model, the time response of the mass (i.e., the sensor) isgoverned by the equation 𝜃 𝑡 = exp (− ) (1) 𝜃𝑖 𝜏where 𝜃 represents the difference between the sensor and ambient temperatures, 𝜃𝑖 is the initialtemperature difference, and 𝑡 is time.

in Engineering ClassesIntroductionThe ability to work well in teams is consistently one of the most sought-after skills byemployers, and so deserves serious attention in higher education courses [1]. To evaluate theeffectiveness of any program or module designed to teach teamwork requires a valid assessmenttool. This is particularly important in engineering disciplines which must assess teamwork aspart of their ABET accreditation. Because teamwork assessment is often subjective, it can bedifficult to evaluate rigorously.Assessing the work produced by a team is not necessarily a good indication of the teamworkitself [2]. Peer assessment offers a more direct measurement of teamwork, often done with asurvey of team members. Ideally, surveys

Studies often concludedthat placement tests were not the best predictors of success in math [1].Most STEM majors at VMI, including Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), requirecalculus-based mathematics courses. In any given year, up to approximately 40% of cadetsentering the CEE department fail to obtain a 21 or higher on the placement test and are requiredto start in Precalculus. The CEE curriculum has been designed to allow cadets to remain ontrack for graduation in eight semesters even if a cadet is required to start in Precalculus.However, since the

Building a positive rapport with instructors: Negative interactions and communication with instructors can have lasting effects on these students (Perry & Franklin, 2006). One study discovered that students with ADHD heavily rely on instructor support, especially in response to accommodation requests like extended test time or written lecture notes, to succeed in college. 2. Employing an instructional style that fosters learning: The instructional style also plays a crucial role in the academic success of these students since
