include clustering, geneticalgorithms, and hill climbing optimization. The latter is the approach we take.2.1 ClusteringClustering algorithms can be used to group data using some measure of similarity. They work by groupingpoints which are close together into the same clusters. In common approaches such as k-means or fuzzyc-means clustering, this is done by repeatedly assigning points to clusters based on cluster centroidsand updating cluster centroids to reflect the newly assigned points until convergence. This approach iscomputationally efficient, but poses some challenges. Clustering algorithms are inherently designed togroup similar points together, which limits these algorithms to producing homogeneous groups. And whileclustering algorithms

Because students are typically given close-ended problems intheir high school courses, where there is a specific “right” answer, it is difficult for them tounderstand that most real life applications of engineering and science are open-ended and thatmultiple solutions can produce the same result. This has been evident in prior research [15],showing that restricted lab procedures in high schools frequently result in moderate learningprocesses, as students do not spend adequate time in sense-making (i.e. making sense of orgiving meaning to

These comments came at the end of thefall semester of 2019.Most negative comments reflect the students’ desire to spend less time in lecture in general andmore time on their projects, as exemplified by the following two comments copied from thecourse evaluation. I extremely disliked the lectures and the other assignments and readings for this class. They were pointless and a waste of my time. I just wanted to work on my senior design project and the other assignments and readings for this course took up time I could have spent on my project.

For advanced database courses, it is recommended to use contexts with more complex entities and relations that may not have simple visual representations (e.g., database design for human resource management or medical records).
