to understanding both the capabilities andlimitations of AI in solving complex engineering tasks. In addition to generating solutions, studentsare tasked with identifying and refining prompts to improve the accuracy and usefulness of the AIoutputs. The objective of this research is to assess the effectiveness of this assignment in enhancingstudents' critical thinking skills through the students’ feedback and fostering a deeperunderstanding of AI's role in project scheduling. Through the analysis of student performance andAI-generated solutions, this study evaluates the quality of scheduling problem-solving outcomesand offers practical guidelines for crafting more effective AI prompts. The findings suggest thatthis assignment not only

Then we describe an outline of the lessons they developed and implemented and theevaluations conducted.Introduction The Research Experience for Teachers (RET) is a six week-program sponsored by theNational Science Foundation (NSF). A group of twelve science and mathematics teachers werechosen to spend the summer working on current civil engineering research topics. During theirsummer, they learned about engineering, and developed skills necessary to implement a researchproject. They also collaborated with faculty and graduate students, acquiring a betterunderstanding about which skills their students need to have

A study by Balta‑Salvador, et al., (2021) highlighted declines in students’relationships with peers and instructors as well as increased boredom over a six-month periodduring the pandemic [3]. Many students experienced heightened anxiety, stress, and depression[5]. Research by Ely (2021) found that women students at a Midwestern university reportedincreased stress and reduced social connection between pre- and post-pandemic timepoints [6].The pandemic also altered personal workloads, with some students, especially women, taking onadditional caregiving responsibilities at home [7].

Identifying At-Risk Students: How Use of Optional Study Materials and Collection of Graded Work Correlate with Academic Performance Vladimir I. Prodanov EE Dept., California Polytechnic State University, San Luis ObispoAbstractWe report on a study designed to identify students at risk by monitoring certain academicbehaviors. Two different approaches were implemented. The first one involves monitoringstudent access of optional homework problems. While this approach was successful in the earlyidentification of students at-risk, optional homework (as opposed to mandatory one) degradesattainment of learning objectives. The second approach relies upon

An evaluation of the study to date.Introduction Responding to the demands of industry for graduates skilled in teamwork, many engineeringprograms have introduced projects that require students to work in teams 2. Positive teamexperiences also contribute significantly to student academic success and to improved rates ofretention3. Creating teams, however, does not always engender effective team behavior 4.Students who report negative team experiences typically cite lack of communication among –and lack of commitment by – some participants as factors critical to unproductive or failed workefforts5. Nationwide there is increasing interest in the subject of forming teams on
years of the degree and additional interactions with seniordesign students; there is not a graduate engineering program in Fort Smith. With this in mind,the student population used in research projects is limited to freshman, sophomores, and seniordesign students, reducing the scope and complexity of the research that can be conducted. Theseconstraints have prompted evolution of the processes described in this paper.The Electric Vehicle Project (EVP) began in 2006 with a student led proposal submitted toBaldor Electric Company, the largest domestic producer of electric motors and drives, whichnetted the research team donated supplies and services.

For thisreason, to guarantee Mexico’s energy security, the students must use the drones to detect illegaltaps. More specifically, at the end of the minor the learners must: a) Design advanced control strategies to flight a drone in automatic mode b) Implement the control system in flight conditions to face external disturbances. c) Develop case studies in which illegal taps can be detected.Henceforth, to empower students to use the Drone Studio Research Architecture, the Professorsdevelop lab practices along the following three stages:Stage 0.
