A detailed description of the current state of the frameworkis provided in the EdTech Overview section.To evaluate the ontology, we presented the preliminary findings to engineering faculty andsolicited their feedback regarding (i) what type(s) of product they may already be using and why,(ii) what other type(s) of product may be of interest to them, and (iii) what type(s) of productis/are currently not of interest to them and why. Data were collected through one-hour-longfaculty interviews in which the use of the educational-technology tools was discussed amongother topics. Using this feedback, the resulting database of products continues to be refined,including respective type labels for each

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

A schematic of a piston, connecting rod and crank is shown in Figure 2. Assumingthat the crank and connecting rod have perfect pin connections, it can be shown by trigonometrythat the distance between the crank axis and the piston pin axis (s) is given by s = a cos + (L2 – a2 sin2 )1/2 (1)when the connecting rod length (L) and the crank radius (a) are known. These values, and thedistance from the piston pin axis to the top of the piston (x), are measured by the laboratoryinstructor and given to the students before lab. Figure 2

Consequently, the exposure to “quantized” and “compressed”information is very high whereas exposure to the theoretical underpinnings and a firmunderstanding of the associated tradeoffs is very low. We begin here with a briefintroduction to the theory surrounding both the mechanics of speech production and themathematical modelling of vocalization, including basic quantization and prediction.The dryness of the mathematical development is then nicely contrasted with thereal-time demonstrations of speech coding which rely on a participant’s vocalizations.

Computer programming is a fundamentalskill for novice engineers. However, over time, multiple programming languages have emergedand are being used as the first language for students. While in modern times, many schoolsaround the globe, particularly in the USA, consider Python’s syntax simplicity and versatility asa way to go, other places and traditional computer scientists consider C++’s efficiency as theirchoice. Similarly, many engineering schools introduce MATLAB as the first programminglanguage. While these decisions are made at the
