This lack of skill and understandinglimits the students’ ability to accurately formulate problems; an area that can be greatly improvedby implementing a pervasive approach to the utilization of a robust and generalized degrees offreedom formalism throughout the curriculum. IntroductionThe undergraduate chemical engineering student is typically introduced to the concept of degreesof freedom for the first time in either a

that failure is an important part of gaining knowledge. Matt Green and Paul Leiffer, Engineering Professors at LeTourneau University call this “Flearning” as described in a recent conference paper, „Failure is often how students realize that some things work better than others, and some do not work at all. Failure clearly and eloquently demonstrates the real world phenomena [that] computer simulations or pencil-and-paper calculations fail to capture. Milestone-driven prototyping with specific goals in mind encourages “Flearning,” learning catalyzed by failure, which is critical to the design process.‟11 Thus, we can see how God uses our failures to teach us important truths, causing good to come out of seemingly bad situations

NLP combines computational linguistics, which is rule-basedmodeling of human language, with machine learning to make sense of large amounts ofqualitative data [18]. First, the data were prepared for NLP. The responses were split intoindividual sentences through a process called sentence segmentation. The data were prepared foranalysis using sentence embedding which is a process to represent entire sentences and theirsemantic information (i.e., how words are used and related to other words within a sentence) asvectors. This approach maintains the context, intention, and other nuances in the entire text andis superior to individual word counts or analyses [19]. We used the deep learning modelRobustly

The major findings from the 2006 assessment were that students felt there was anincrease in workload due to the time spent learning material that was not a part of their degree-granting department and teaching a course for the first time. They also mentioned the difficultyin getting research done while teaching. Evaluations completed by faculty (formativeassessment) and freshman students (summative) were used to evaluate mentoring and feedbackprocesses. Workshop leaders considered the faculty evaluations very useful feedback, but feltthat the university wide student evaluations were less relevant.
