individuals on aparticular topic. This is the definition that will be used in this paper. However, it is well knownthat the phrase "technical standards" has a plethora of interpretations depending on the context ofthe situation and the parties involved. There are company standards that are primarily for internaluse, "de jure" standards that are formally published by standards organizations, agreed-uponcommon practices (e.g., eating with one's mouth closed) that the general public refers to as a“standard”, and many more [1]. The ambiguity in the definition of the word "standard" andengineers' contextual interpretation and historical use of the word adds to the challenge ofstudying, discussing, and applying technical standards.In addition to the

reviews are a type of literature review that takes a systematic approach to search,review, and synthesis of information on a defined topic. A well-designed review will achieve“exhaustive and comprehensive searching”[1] for relevant evidence while minimizing selectionbias. As the volume of scientific publications has surged exponentially over the past severaldecades [2], with a recent study showing that the number of publications in the Physical andTechnical Sciences doubles every 11.9 years [3], the need for systematic reviews to collate andsynthesize all this research has become critical. The general field of engineering has seen the risein published research review papers that many other fields have seen recently [4-6]. Conversely,performing

Educators can draw on the insights gleaned from these survey results totarget their incorporation of technical standards into current educational materials. Threepractical ways to do this as extrapolated from the survey results include (1) keeping lessons ontechnical standards short, generally, one class period or less, (2) offering the lessonasynchronously online or in the classroom, and (3) focusing on the basics of technical standardswith a focus on practical applications.AcknowledgmentsFinancial assistance for travel to the ASEE conference was provided by the University ofTennessee – Knoxville Graduate Student Senate.References

However, in a 2011 study that surveyed of 382 facultymentors, many reported apathy or antipathy toward seeking out or attending training on theinformation literacy behaviors which would help them stay up to date on research methods andtools across the research lifecycle [2]. This likely contributes to the fact that many students (907surveyed in the same 2011 study) report that their faculty mentors do not provide adequatesupport [2]. This leaves engineering graduate students often learning research skills ad hoc, evenin very well-resourced institutions. Librarians often receive specialized

in Higher Education While artificial intelligence (AI) has existed in some form since the 1930s, the pace ofadvancements has accelerated significantly in the last decade. Modern AI is rooted in AlanTuring’s theory of computation, which defined the “Turing machine” as a set of logical rules thatcould, generally, be used to compute solutions to nearly any problem [1]. The set of logical rulesknown as the Turing machine later developed into the concept of neural networks, the backboneof most AI technologies today. Many major AI tools today are pre-trained to use a neuralnetwork to decipher a specified dataset; this automated process is called machine learning. Thispaper will centers on application of a subset of machine learning AI

The scope of her model took two classperiods to introduce, during which the instructor worked 10 problems (scenarios). Students thenhad an opportunity to practice using the DBL method outside of class. The performance of thisclass of students on a unit exam was found to be
