outcomes and improve student engagement. The integration of AI tools has the potential to significantly impact student learning, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This paper explores the impact of AI tools on student learning in engineering education, particularly in civil engineering. AI tools offer numerous benefits in engineering education, providing students with interactive and immersive learning experiences. These tools enable students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding and problem-solving skills. A survey was distributed to engineering students in civil engineering courses to gather feedback on the effectiveness of using AI tools, allowing for

We will look at UC Davis Electrical and Computer Engineering laboratory courses and the impact KarmaCollab had on the online course format. The relationships between course grades, KarmaCollab app engagement, student self-reported sentiment via an end-of-quarter survey, and teaching staff interviews are presented to showcase interesting remote learning insights.

This is consistent with the CSU Pueblo’s mission toserve the Hispanic minority community and the Southern Colorado region. Nine high schoolteachers from Districts 60 and 70 in the Pueblo, Colorado area participated in this workshop.

or just a desired outcome if we can afford it. The goal of this paper is to present a literature review about equity in computing education and to propose a definition of equity so we can engage the community in a collective, professional, and productive dialogue about equity. We hope that such dialogue would enable us to move forward on assessing equity and thus broadening participation in computing. The definition presented is adapted from equity in health and mirrors prior definitions of equity highlighting the difference between equity and equality. We close with some concrete suggestions on how to use the definition to define actions that CS programs could implement as part of an equity

Students signed an exam agreement stating they would not engage in this behavior; however, the instructor could not patrol students’ activities between submitted the exam in class and recording the video later that day. This is the main reason the instructor had each student complete just one video reflection per exam (cheating would only impact up to 15% of the overall exam grade). The instructor did not detect any cheating when watching the videos, but cheating is a possible outcome when using the video reflection assessment technique. • Inequitable technology access: A potential downside is providing equitable student access to

Subjects covered in this topic range from forms of assessment toteaching techniques, as well as student engagement and behavior [2,3].
