. Teams are formed depending on the class sizes. Assessments: There are weekly graphics assignments, quizzes, and four midterm exams. For the project, students are required to develop conceptual and technical design reviews. Weekly activities include discussion posts on technical and communication topics related to the design project. Peer evaluations are conducted via Purdue’s CATME Peer-Evaluation tool three times during a semester and serve as a measure of teamwork. Technical writing is considered a critical piece in the project documentation. Project deliverables such as oral presentations, design reviews, peer evaluations, and prototype testing are used to assess student learning objectives.Challenges due to COVID-19Higher Education

These factors, and more, maycontribute to low participation rates of undergraduate students participating in research. Forexample, from Spring 2019 to 2020 only 3.3% of mechanical engineering (ME) undergraduateswere enrolled in independent research at UC Berkeley, an R1 institution.Figure 1 illustrates one common pathway to becoming an undergraduate research scientist, wherean essential first step is being aware of research areas. Students may discover research areasthrough peer and family networks [3] or technical electives. Once students have identified theirresearch interest, they can begin seeking research positions through informal methods such as

Even at its best, faculty mentoringwas typically limited to the paternal protection of a promising young colleague. Occasionally,this involved a gifted undergraduate. Seldom was such benevolence exhibited toward those “at-risk” freshmen most in need of developing a connection with the university.In more recent years the mentor function has been transferred to peers.

During the first workshop, group discussions focused on how tosynthesize many texts to follow a particular research theme and how to then describe andevaluate the text for an annotated bibliography. The students discussed potential problems withtheir literature reviews and ways to overcome the pitfalls. By organizing the students by major,the group dynamics allowed the participants to have more detailed conversations regarding theirspecific research projects.

The paper’s primary objective is to present the recent incorporation of panelevaluations to expose students to presenting and to emphasize competition. Writing exerciseshave been part of the laboratory for years, and are described in some detail. Emphasis is on oralcommunication. As might be expected, student responses to these panels have varied widely,though overall assessments to date seem to indicate value added to the laboratory experience.1.0 Introduction and BackgroundTechnical communication (oral and written) is a formidable

Next, we have arange of in-class activities where students follow guided instructions and discuss with peers intheir small groups. During each of these in-class activities, students perform at least one of thefollowing tasks: code completion, code snippet debugging, answering multiple-choice questions,writing pseudocode, and drawing flowcharts. Each of these tasks falls under different BT’scategories, demands the use of different skills, and requires students to pay attention

In the same year,Emil Post independently developed algorithm machines that have come to be known as Postmachines [29]. Turing machines and Post machines are proven to be equivalent and their theorydeveloped in 1930s and 1940s has provided the foundation of the theory of computation. Turingmachines are the most popular models for recursively enumerable sets mentioned above.Following Cohen [6], we define Turing machines as follows. A Turing machine is composed of six components: 1. An alphabet, , which is a finite non-empty set of symbols from which input isbuilt. 2. A READ/WRITE TAPE, divided into a sequence
