Separation of Voiced and Unvoiced using Zero crossing rate and Energy of the Speech Signal Bachu R.G., Kopparthi S., Adapa B., Barkana B.D. Electrical Engineering Department School of Engineering, University of Bridgeport AbstractIn speech analysis, the voiced-unvoiced decision is usually performed in extracting the information fromthe speech signals. In this paper, we performed two methods to separate the voiced- unvoiced parts ofspeech from a speech signal. These are zero crossing rate (ZCR) and energy. In here, we evaluated theresults by dividing the speech sample into

Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com When is Automated Feedback a Barrier to Timely Feedback? Christina Keefer, Andrew DeOrio Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Michigan1 AbstractComputing programs have seen a substantial enrollment increases in recent years. One of thechallenges brought by rising enrollments is long wait times for students to receive help in officehours. Schools tackling aggressive scaling have turned to peer teaching and automated feedbackmechanisms to aid students seeking help.We examine the relationship between the demand for peer teaching and

Participants also gain access to cultural resources in the formof know-how and conceptual tools. For instance, an engineering education expert on one of theteams leads a session on equity in engineering education. During the session, the expertelaborates on their definition of equity, and how it differs from related concepts, such as equality.The session continues with exercises to prompt participants to reflect on what embedding equityin education looks like, and participants exchange situated knowledge on how their own teamsseek to advance equity, and how it shows up in their teaching.AppropriationAppropriation is when the CoP

that students benefit fromusing CPI. Not only are students exposed to developmentally appropriate and personally salientcomputer science-related content aligned with educational standards, but they also experience asignificant increase in their attitudes towards computer science activities, particularly thoseinvolving computer programming and computational thinking. In this way, CPI is highly scalable,having the potential to reach a broad audience of learners by curating content from an integratedset of educational resources and thus also orienting a future generation of students towards careersin computer science and related fields. The strengths of this approach, as well as opportunities forfuture platform, content, and curriculum

anenrollment of 138 students . This course does not contain significant cybersecurity content, and itis not a course for which we expect to regularly use the survey. It was selected because it has afairly large enrollment and because it would provide data from students who are not likely to havemuch experience with cybersecurity topics (thus providing a baseline from students within thegeneral CS population). This approach provides a broader view of student interest andself-efficacy in relation to cybersecurity within our program. Additionally, surveying this courseallows us to measure how building general knowledge of computer science affects student interestand self-efficacy in areas students are not directly studying.

stigma by convincingstudents that the cost of education at their institution is worth it and there is no better path. Yetthis is not the case these institutions need to begin looking at community colleges as partners notas competitors. If community colleges and four year institutions begin to truly support oneanother this would not only benefit the two institutions by lowering the barriers of entry andtherefore increasing the number of students going through the engineering program but alsobenefit the populace as well. Conclusion As the need for diversity in engineering grows so does the number of pathways leading toit as well. Community colleges can be a potential partner in not only

students in energyconservation issues.IntroductionIn the fall of 2001, the Department of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineeringinitiated a drive to educate more students in Energy related subjects outside our majors. A3-credit general education course on “Energy Conservation and EnvironmentalProtection” (EGEE 102) was developed and offered primarily for non-science/engineering students. Energy is a vital component of modern society. Whilepeople believe that the energy use is the culprit for environmental damage, they are notaware of the methods and principles by which energy conversion devices operate andhow an individual can make a difference in the environmental protection. This generaleducation course provides students with necessary
