Stage 3: In this stage, the orthogonal arrays (OA) and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios are calculated and used to determine the most useful set of predictive variables. Larger S/N ratios are preferred and indicate a possible useful predictive variable. 3 Stage 4: The variables that were identified as significant due to a positive S/N are used to develop a forecasting model.

What areas of thinking related to junior and senior engineering students’ career plans are influenced by specific socializers?To answer these questions, we examined interviews with 62 engineering juniors and seniors fromsix different universities in the U.S. To frame our study, we used Eccles et al.'s Expectancy xValue Theory of Achievement Motivation as this framework provides concrete examples ofways that socializers influence student outcomes.5-7Background Literature and Theoretical FrameworksAlthough research shows that socializers
students’ knowledge about the task-related discipline(s) [24], [25]. In thisstudy, we only focus on the implicit and explicit aspect of task interpretation. This study views task interpretation as an integral part of self-regulation. Self-regulatedlearning (SRL) is a complex, iterative, and situated goal-directed learning process [5], [8], [26].SRL is comprised by the student, learning environment, and learner’s engagement with theenvironment and is affected by student’s emotion and motivation [7], [9], [26]. Student’sengagement starts with task interpretation. Task interpretation is followed by (a) developing aplan based on the task understanding, (b) enacting the plan, (c) monitoring the progress andapproach, and (d) making any

CADcompare augments the grading processof technical and engineering CAD drawings by highlighting differences that can be easily missedby a human grader, such as incorrect line type(s), color(s), or double lines (i.e., lines on top of eachother). Some CAD software has built-in comparison tools, however, none of the comparison toolsaccept PDF files to compare, are web-based applications, or can compare multiple student files atonce like CADcompare can. Grading engineering CAD drawings with accuracy and fairness cantake a lot of time, the intended use of CADcompare is to act as a grading tool to help instructorsgrade faster, more accurately, and without unintended bias.
