What academic and curricular variables influenced student success in an ET undergraduate degree program?Use of Multiple Linear Regression and CART ModelingPredicting student success has traditionally utilized multiple linear regression (MLR), and thismethod was used to predict student success (defined as having GPA>2.8 at graduation).However, a binary classification method was preferable in this case, as primary project goal wasto predict whether the student will be successful or not, rather than trying to predict the specificGPA he or she might earn. Further, MLR assumes Type 1 and Type II errors are approximatelyequal. When

We would like toincrease our undergraduate research activity to diversify faculty activity and provide studentswith valuable research experiences that may indicate that graduate school is right for them. Eganet al. [18] explains that participation in undergraduate research encourages pursuit of moreadvanced degrees. Even if students do not move into graduate/professional programs,undergraduate research teaches students critical thinking skills necessary for solving open-endedproblems [12], [19]. If done well, there are clearly many advantages of undergraduate research.Independent

They provide students with an opportunity to focusmore on building, testing, and evaluating their design. Makerspaces also provide more creativeopportunities for engineering design projects through rapid prototyping electronics and additivemanufacturing. For some students in the first-year this can seem like a daunting task, particularlywhen they are working alongside senior design capstone teams and graduate researchers in amakerspace.

ToolAbstractOccupants’ behavior inside buildings is a vital parameter in determining the building energyconsumption. Occupancy density distribution is a wide uncertain parameter due to the difficultyin predicting the attendants’ behavior. Currently, occupancy detection tools and technologieshave been insufficient of determining the exact number of occupants and, thus, the spaceventilation requirements are not set at its optimized values.This capstone project was part of a bigger project conducted at Purdue Polytechnic Kokomo tobetter improve the energy consumption used for ventilation and AC in buildings.

Few of them have explored short and long-termeffects on professional competencies and career goals [14]. Some of them have used classroomassessment techniques and academic records to understand students’ conceptions ofentrepreneurial learning [15], [16], but more efforts are needed to explore how students learn aboutentrepreneurship as they develop ownership of their ideas [17].

In one implementation, it was delivered just after the mid-point of the designprocess, as students were creating detailed design verification plans. In this case, the “concepts”on which the students sought peer feedback were different ideas they had come up with to verifytheir designs. In the other implementation, the workshop was delivered about one-third of theway through the design process, once students had completed their problem formulation phaseand had begun creating a number of different conceptual designs to address the identified need.The workshop was also

Notably,students largely did not identify any other courses as being directly connected to their first-yearcoursework. This was unexpected since, to an extent, several of the first-year course activitieswere developed to familiarize students with subsequent courses (e.g., circuits and staticscalculations). However, these activities were relegated to a somewhat cursory overview, and asnoted by two students, there was not enough “technical content” in the first-year courses toprovide benefit, particularly since this content was reviewed at the beginning of future courses.Moreover, while three total participants later recommended that
