We apply several different MLalgorithms to assess the following research questions: 1) Which ML algorithm most accuratelypredicts student outcomes in terms of graduation?; 2) What indicators predict computingstudents’ graduation?; and 3) Is there a difference, in terms of importance of the rankings, if theinputs and environment variables are run together, as opposed to when they are runseparately?The present study is novel in several areas. Although many studies have examined retention andgraduation of engineering and computing students, often these studies only consider a short timespan of one to two years [5].

These courses are used as an alternative to conventional laboratorycourse with fixed objectives and predetermined results. The intent is to show undergraduatestudents how higher-level research is completed, without the standard “training wheels”.Students observe new unique outcomes, and get experience in a laboratory environment,including common practices within the field of study, as well as teamwork and collaborationwhile conducting research with unknown results (Ballen et al., 2017; Corwin & La, 2014).These types of projects have expanded into the

Understanding the Situated Workplace Practices and Habits of Engineers Using Agile EthnographyIntroductionThis methods paper describes the application of and insights gained from using aspects of anemerging methodology, agile ethnography, to study engineers working in practice. Research hassuggested that there is a misalignment between what is taught in engineering school and thetypes of work that engineers do in practice [1]. Little is known about the types of engineeringwork that are conducted in practice [2], [3]. In order to best prepare engineering graduates tomeet the demands of the engineering workforce, students should be taught the types ofknowledge and problem-solving strategies that are commonly used by practicing

Each product developed has to be evaluated as to whether it can be produced sustainablyand economically while taking into consideration the effect on the environment and protection ofhuman rights. With the introduction of new products and technologies, bioethics is evolving,which means the educational community has to be up to date with the current bioethical issuesand accepted practice in order to prepare the engineering students to be involved in research as astudent and in industry.

It has been determined that the CNC concentration is one of the more popular choices among students, with many of the graduates utilizing CNC programming skills in their entry level positions. A higher percentage of graduates with the CNC concentration were employed in the engineering field 6 months after graduation, and with higher average salaries, than their counterparts with other concentrations in the same
