At the end of training lessons, someinstructors may verbally describe the link of different processes and how a product would flowamong those processes. A manufacturing department typically has to purchase many identicalmachine tools and different tooling sets for variety of possible operations on each machine type.The operating cost of such manufacturing laboratory is high and some students might notcomprehend the link among different processes. This model is popular among communitycolleges or vocational schools, but may not be best for engineering students since the latter onlyneed to understand the manufacturing processes and flow sequence rather than acquiring

understanding thetypes of support students seek from faculty to enhance their learning ("Class Support," "ProblemSolving," and "Interactions"). While determining the main themes from the dataset was crucial,equally important was identifying responses that did not answer the faculty support surveyquestions and did not align with any of the three categories. Therefore, a comprehensive approachincluded codes assigned to the dataset for the three themes along with responses where domainexpert codes were designated as "No response, other, or ambiguous." This dataset was randomlyordered and divided into training and testing sets, which served as input data for the supervisedlearning method.The high precision, recall, and F1 scores for "Class Support" and

Thispaper describes the adaptation of labor based grading for computer science courses. Labor based gradinghas been developed for language and writing courses by shifting the grading focus from summative examsto formative and reflective assessments. The method was tested in several computer science courses withtwo different instructors during the 2020-2021 academic year. Students were surveyed to understand howthey perceived grading methods

How, if at all, does mastery grading affect student’s performance across students’ groups with varying levels of preparation? Which students benefit the most from the mastery grading approach? 2. How does the performance of students differ between groups on a common final exam containing questions with two levels of difficulty? 3. How do students from a mastery-graded course perform in a subsequent course, compared to peers in traditionally graded courses?Implementation of

However, it is too easy for students taking an introductorymicroprocessor course to start programming first by thinking in a computer language, withoutany planning. This can lead to poor programming skills, as well as frustration with programmingin general.In a third year introductory course to microprocessors in the electrical engineering technologyprogram at NJIT, assembly language was introduced as a tool to understand the x86 structure.
