AC 2010-1606: FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR PROGRAM PROPOSALLester Gerhardt, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute After 10 years with Bell Aerospace Corporation where he was Director of Avionics Research, Dr. Gerhardt joined Rensselaer in 1970. He was promoted to Full Professor in 1974, and was selected as Chairman of the newly merged Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering Department in 1975, a position he held through 1986. The ECSE Department growth and development during these years was nationally recognized in a National Academy of Science report receiving the top rating in the most improved program category, as well as being rated in the top 10 percent in other categories. In 1986, he was
Engineering Research Center (ERC)funded by NSF and a collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) Robotics andHuman Computer Interaction Institutes and University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Department ofRehabilitation Science and Technology (RST) and Institute on Aging. The goal of the QoLTERC is to transform the lives of people with reduced functional capabilities due to aging ordisability through intelligent devices and systems. In contrast to pure technology domains, QoLTis all about human-machine ecology. Its breadth and relevance to real life serves as a naturalattractor to a diversity of students including female students and students with disabilities.Altogether, 46 students have participated through a one-year NSF REU supplement in 2007

To help addresses this growing dependency, the stateof Wyoming has developed and released Computer Science (CS) standards in conjunctionwith a legislative mandate requiring all school districts to offer CS to their students by the2022-2023 school year. However, many teachers around the state, and nation, have not beenafforded the resources and scaffolding necessary to teach the content and materials that arecovered within these new standards.

By summer, all MSU Schools were informed of the need to rapidly transition theircourses online. However, a few stakeholders, such as the older population, lacked the motivationto implement this technology early before COVID due to technology savviness, pedagogicalchanges, and lack of willingness to adapt their hands-on and team-based courses for onlinelearning.In this research paper, we critically analyze the collection of data drawn from the use of CanvasLMS in the School of Engineering from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020.

IntroductionMachine learning courses are gaining more popularity in electrical and computer engineering(ECE) programs. They offer the students an opportunity to practice multiple concepts related toalgorithms and software programming while learning an important topic. A typical machine-learning course focusses on the theory of different machine learning algorithms during class timewhile focusing on programming and application in the
