However in both forms of theRDM course, one topic that is common to both approaches is the Data Management Plan (DMP).The

When we enterinto a partnership, we attempt to tailor our support based on the particular needs of the schooland its educators. While this means that each partnership is unique, they generally fall into threecategories: (1) brief encounters, (2) continued encounters, and (3) sustained encounters. Below,we report on the nature of each of these types of encounters. After describing the type ofencounter, we follow with an example, and end by reporting the lessons we have learned.Brief EncountersBrief encounters are partnerships in which we

Before expandingon the merits of active learning in engineering education, however, let us first define what ismeant by “active learning” in education in general. In 1991 Bonwell [1

In thispaper, three publicly accessible datasets are used to present subjective analyses of insignificantfeatures beyond the general recommendation of an AI algorithm.IntroductionPredictive modeling is one of the skills that industrial engineering graduates possess. Thepredictive relevance of an output/response depends on the quality of the input factors, commonlyknown as the features. Among many input factors, choosing significant features for businessoperational purposes is customary. There are many reasons why a portion of the features is usedfor decision-making purposes, such as computational cost and accuracy [1,2,3]. In addition, thepredictive algorithms are also tuned carefully to optimize for overfitting and

, gaining significant traction in the K-12 system is standards-based grading. With standards-based grading, grading is based upon “measuring students’proficiency on well-defined course objectives.” [1] Instead of arbitrary grading scales, studentsare assessed multiple times regarding their performance on course outcomes. By doing this,there is an increase in student engagement and a more thorough comprehension of coursematerials. [2] Standards Based grading focuses on the specific, relevant skills a student shouldlearn and helps instructors to assess how well students are learning and tailor their teaching tomeet areas of concern. [3] By measuring these goals, students continue to learn. By usingrubrics to articulate these goals, students can use

issues.Despite these statistics and the national focus on diversity, work to improve diversity of facultyin institutions of higher learning, particularly in STEM, is questioned. Justifications for the needfor faculty diversity in STEM is usually justified by because (1) it is the right thing to do, (2)females represent at least 50% or more of the college population but the percentage is notreflected in STEM, (3) including females in the process of design adds dimensions to the design,improving the solutions ability to serve society, just to name a few. However, these reasons donot resonate with all members of an academic community and other theory based and evidencebased approaches need to be made to justify the need for diversity of faculty in STEM
