This tool's deployment in real-worldeducational settings provided valuable insights into the practical aspects of implementinganonymous grading systems. The web application development approach is described below. 1. Class Roster Input ● The application allows instructors to upload or input the class roster, including student names and any other relevant information. 2. Alphanumeric Code Generation. ● Upon inputting the class roster, the system automatically generates a unique alphanumeric code for each student. This code serves as the identifier for the student in the grading process, ensuring

This story highlights the ways thatstudents can experience anxiety when they feel that they don’t have support, but alsodemonstrates how this led the student to identify ways other students could be supported,including through the inclusion of undergraduate “LAs” (learning assistants) in STEMclassrooms.Story 1: As a first-generation student, with no prior knowledge on what to expect from going after a higher education, my experience in Florida International University has varied from extreme points to other.

IntroductionIn an increasingly collaborative and globalized world, effective teamwork is an essential skill forengineers [1]. To help students develop teamwork skills, project-based learning (PBL) courses,including first-year cornerstones, have become a component of most engineering programs [2].However, having students work in teams on an engineering project does not necessarilyguarantee effective teamwork is practiced or that students further develop their teamwork skills[3]. Peer evaluation systems, such as Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness(CATME), have been developed to help instructors monitor team dynamics and

It is evident that ChatGPT can produce !" incorrect solutions during the reasoning process. In this specific case, it presented 𝑘 = #$ at Step 12 instead of the desired derivation. Notably, it employed the assertion “have derived the formula” to advance its response. This behavior suggests that ChatGPT has the capability to generate responses that do not align with the underlying principles, which can pose risks for students in mechanical engineering

Overall, attitudes towards communication, motivation, and engineeringidentities were significantly higher for those in the IEPS classes than the TPS classes. Findingsreveal that while having a public speaking course in general can be beneficial to engineeringstudents, there might be more communication and professional identity gains from implementingIEPS courses. The study raises promising directions for future investigation into mechanismsthat make IEPS courses more effective than TPS courses for communication outcomes andidentity of engineering students.[1] A.
