In the area ofanalyzing feedback surveys, Dhanalakshmi et al. [16] used a supervising learning approach topredict the polarity of student responses (a common framing of a sentiment analysis task). Ofcourse, these models also have several potential limitations such as inadvertently introducingbias and reflecting unintentional differences across groups [17], [18].In engineering education, there have been limited applications of NLP on either the research orteaching side. The more modern applications have applied standard statistical and machinelearning

PBL to be effective. Simply giving students a problem to solve in a group does notautomatically confer benefits. Transfer is also aided by reflection, which is often incorporatedinto problem-based learning. In brief it is worth considering that in disciplines like engineeringwhere addressing contingencies in practice is important knowledge matters, but experience maymatter more. Ultimately, we become what we do so techniques such as cases, simulations, andPBL allow students to gain experiences with applying contingent knowledge. If designedeffectively these learning experiences can transfer to practice.Another area that most of these degree programs have in common are some form ofcomprehensive examination before an individual is licensed for

To recap key aspects of the discussions and opinions appearing in the precedingpages, I offer Table 4, in which I have listed my subjective rankings of various factorsthat help women’s participation and achievement in STEM fields, based on my personalobservations and experiences in the US and Iran over a 48-year academic career. I couldhave listed inhibiting factors, but perhaps accentuating the positive is preferable as wellas more intuitive (higher scores reflect greater desirability). The total score should betaken with a grain of salt, as not all factor have the same importance.Table 4.

Therefore UPRM participantsexhibited characteristics of a collectivist society in which people are born into groups that providesupport and help to others in exchange for loyalty. Thus, the UPRM student population reflects amore ingrained sense of collectivism. Meanwhile, the mainland score of 91 represents anindividualist society, where people expect to take care of themselves. On the contrary, MSUstudent population scores align with the characteristics of a more collectivist culture.The analysis by gender revealed that female students reported a score lower than the generalpopulation at both institutions, with 33.98 for MSU and 36.31 for UPRM. For male students, weobtained a higher score of 46.40 and 37.18

to have high totals when the impacts weresummed. The authors’ reasoning of these hypotheses comes from observations seen in actualstudent teams within the IBL class. Teams in which students have similar end goals and worktogether on their projects often progress further in their learning and achieve project outcomeswith high impact. Teams that lacked innovative goals and did not work well together often hadlearning outcomes with low impact. As shown in Table 1, there is a moderate correlationbetween the team’s innovative impact and the team’s progress across all group sizes. Theseresults reflect the author’s hypotheses, suggesting that multiple students on the team need to havesimilar innovative impact inputs to reach higher progression

This activity was designed to fail; the success of this activitywas very dependent on what the students chose to try to scan. Transparent surfaces cause gaps inthe scan, reflective surfaces skew data, and flat horizontal surfaces are impossible to capture in ascanner that does not have the capabilities to adjust the angle of the laser.
