It encourages thoughtfulconsideration of the appropriate use case of ChatGPT and emphasizes the importance of furtherexploring its potential to enhance collaborative learning experiences.1. IntroductionRooted in Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development [1], computer-supported collaborativelearning (CSCL) posits that students’ cognitive development is promoted through sharedunderstanding and meaning-making from their interactions during group activities [2]. Given thisinherent nature, active engagement and discussion within student groups play a pivotal role in thesuccess of CSCL [3]. With recent advances in machine learning, a plethora of data

Architectural Engineering curriculum at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo containsthree computing courses ARCE 352-354 taken in sequence at the junior level. These are pairedwith the structural analysis lecture courses, that together, provide fundamental knowledgenecessary to proceed to the senior-level seismic analysis course. Table 1 shows each of thestructural analysis lecture classes with their paired computing class and its catalog description.The lecture class has a 32-person enrollment that is generally three times per week at 50 minutesa session, while the lab has a 16-person enrollment taking place once a week for nearly threehours. The lab typically includes at least 1-1.5 hours of coding demonstration or discussion bythe faculty followed by in

developed their own hardware andcurriculum to ensure that visually impaired students would receive the same educationalexperience as their sighted peers.a. Existing Literature Vision-based teaching methods have become ubiquitous in the modern mechanical engineeringcurriculum through the universal adoption of computer-based tools in both the classroom andlaboratory. However, this heavy reliance on a vision-based teaching and engineering practice doesnot consider the needs of visually impaired students. This gap in accessibility is even morechallenging in engineering laboratory courses. Globally, over 250 million people live with some form of visual impairment, according to astudy done by the CDC in 2017 [1]. In the US, of the over 20 million

Students at the secondary level can join sub-teamsduring fall and spring semesters or can opt to participate in work that the electrical engineeringsubsections do during the summer. With over 100 members and growing, BANSHEE seeks togive this unique opportunity to as many students as possible.2.

In this paper the methodsfor helping students deal with the triple challenge of learning parallel programming, writingcorrect code for any scale, and verifying scalability are presented along with new methods toincorporate quantum computing as another hybrid option. The paper provides details of how thetriple challenge can be extended to include the fourth challenge of advanced co-processingmethods. Techniques used are problem-based learning for mastery and contract-based projectswhere students demonstrate their achievement of key learning objectives.1.

morecomprehensive strategies and solutions to foster a positive, supportive, welcoming culture.Introduction:A positive and supportive academic culture in engineering education is crucial to studentsuccess. Culture has been shown to impact identity development, sense of belonging, academicachievement, social relationships, diversity, and retention [1]. The impacts of culture also extendbeyond the academic setting, impacting students’ overall well-being. A negative academicenvironment has been shown to induce feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety in students inSTEM. Interpersonal support from faculty can aid in ameliorating these feelings spurred byadverse learning environments [2]. Mentorship, positive interactions, and effectivecommunication from

At a minimum, a three-story building is recommended and consists of enoughelements that work together to reflect a system behavior approach. Students should beassigned in groups of 3 or less to achieve such a task. Figure-1 presents such a system layout forstudents to study and design.

To help with this pilot project, they recentlyestablished a partnership with Cal Poly to conduct the power flow studies to verify the properoperation of the proposed system as well as proper equipment sizing.Project DescriptionFigure 1 summarizes the project with its associated tasks. There are two major sub-projects, eachbeing undertaken by a graduate student, and advised by a faculty member. For each sub-project,the student will have to first develop a computer model of the proposed system and then simulatethe model to study and analyze the operation of the proposed system. The project started in April2023 and will conclude in April 2024. One important component of the project is the progressreport
