While significant advancements have been madein utilizing AI for text analysis on educational data, the emergence of LLMs has opened newhorizons in applying cutting-edge generative AI models for in-depth analysis of students’reflections. In the next section, we present our proposed LLM-based model, Cogni-Reflect, foranalyzing students’ narrative reflections.MethodologyIn this study, we present Cogni-Reflect, a novel LLM-powered tool designed to analyze students'narrative reflections and provide actionable insights to educators.

In turn, the ethical reflection helps to strengthen students understanding of confidentiality and intellectual property. Working on a project is understandably more time consuming as dummy data and data obfuscation may be needed. • Directories of resources: LGBTQ resource centers. Health centers.

-college information, student information systems(SIS), and Learning Management Systems (LMS).This paper concludes a research project focused on the sole use of Learning Management System(LMS) data for identifying struggling students. While we recognize the importance of other datasources, there are three main reasons for concentrating on LMS data in this project.First, Learning Management Systems are ubiquitous and widely used by higher-educationinstitutions across colleges and disciplines, to the point of becoming a standard component ofclassroom technology [15]. They provide a convenient and effective way to deliver learningmaterials to students.Second, although studies suggest that LMS platforms are underutilized [14], they remain centralto

advancement of artificial intelligent technology, more and morepreviously unthinkable applications and services become possible. To meet this trend, more andmore new technical positions are created and are ready to be filled. Skilled and well-preparedengineers are highly demanded by such newly emerging positions. Computing programs in USuniversities cannot produce enough qualified graduates to fill these positions. To make theproblem even worse, computer programs suffer high dropout and failure rates, mainly due to thereason that students are unprepared and lose their interest in their entry-level courses[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. In fact, a significant shortage of skilled computer science graduates is observed andwill remain for the next decade [6, 7, 8]. The

Compared to cybersecurity in general, however,cyber engineering still requires further refinement in its curriculum coverage. The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well. To better facilitate hands-on learning in a curricularsetting, we have been developing a 1/5th-scale autonomous vehicle as a framework of cyberphysical systems for a set of cyber engineering

Only in the course’s final project did weask students to begin coding from a blank page. Our curriculum design was also informed by the factthat programming language acquisition takes time. For this reason we aimed to introduce new codingconcepts for annotation several weeks before asking students to create code that used those concepts.4 Methods4.1 Research SettingThe setting for this study is one section of an introductory computer programming course at a privateuniversity in the Northeast of the United States.
