To thrive, one must embrace these multifaceted transformative experiences with anopen mind, a willingness to learn, and resilience that will enrich the academic experience andprepare them for future success beyond the classroom. Finally, after creating a welcomingclassroom environment, if faculty members desire to enhance international students' experienceand their ability to thrive, there must be intentional relationship building to help the studentsbecome more comfortable asking for help when needed.LimitationsThis study utilized a limited sample size in a non-randomized survey; hence, the findings maynot be generalized.References 1.

utilized to tackle thisever-growing issue due to its ability learn and classify complex data. AI can be described as twomain subfields: machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). ML leverages labeled data tobuild models for predicting labels on unlabeled data. DL relies on extensive unlabeled datasets touncover underlying patterns within the dataset. On the other hand, knowledge-based modelingand simulation (M&S) techniques utilize known models to generate data for the analysis of newand existing designs. M&S works well for simple systems but becomes increasingly difficult formore complex systems. The difficulty comes from the uncertainties associated with each addedvariable being modeled. To bridge the gap between AI and M&S, the
as an Analogy for CollegeThere are parallels between a student’s college experience and football, such as: Lows and highs – The lows might be season(s) long or might last only part of the game. Team work – Many of the CE students received coursework help from other students and general support from friends and family.Pervasive sports analogies may be annoying, but perhaps students absorb these models [25]. Iaspire to having my students view me as a coach rather than a ref (enforcing rules) or theopposing team (putting up roadblocks to prevent students from reaching their goal of success inthe course or earning their degree).

that ‘The autograders were incredibly helpful’ while another mentionedthat ‘I think the auto graders should give hints as to what is required otherwise even debuggingmultiple times ends up giving the same errors.’ The authors are of the opinion that in a junior-level mechanical engineering class, an autograder is not meant to fix student code. Instead, wewant students to exercise their critical thinking to build their own debugging skills given minimaldirection. In the root-finding example, students are not told which equation(s) the autograder isusing to determine their function’s accuracy. However, students are given a list of equations toperform their own tests. It is our expectation that if the autograder says “Your bisection code isnot

-grade classes at two different schools in a small urban city in the Northeast United States,which we call Pepperville. Mr. J taught the course at school A and Mr. S taught the curriculum atSchool B. Mr. J and Mr. S, both white male teachers, have students from ethnically andlinguistically diverse backgrounds. Most of the students spoke English, and many spoke,understood, or were learning another language. At the end of the curriculum, learners made avideo journalism artifact for specific audiences about climate tech in Pepperville. Both siteshosted a screening day to view the students’ final journalism artifacts, which, for the Spring 2024implementation,were journalism videos. This paper focuses on data from two of Mr. J’s classes.In our
253 600Students were asked to self-report their GPA. GPA was based on a scale of 4, with an “A” being a4.00, a “B” being a 3.00, a “C” being a 2.00, a “D” being a 1.00, and an “S” being a 0.00. Someclasses also used a “+” or “–” system. A “+” adds 0.33 to the base grade, while a “-” subtracts0.33. For example, a “B+” would quantitatively be a 3.33 (3.00 + 0.33), while a “B-” would be a2.77 (3.00 - 0.33).Data was gathered on students’ expected majors. Out of a total of 600 students, 311 (51.8%) weremechanical and/or aerospace engineering students, 114 (19.0%) were civil and/or environmentalengineering students, 102 (17.0%) were biomedical engineering students and 73 (12.2%) studentshad other majors. This data can be seen in Figure 2
