In addition, each teamsubmitted a project report at the end of the second CAD project.During the first three years of ME/CEE 1770 instruction, instructors, teaching assistants, andstudents identified a number of issues of concern regarding the design of the course. Some issueswere the result of overlooking students’ lack of prior knowledge. Some were the result ofcounterproductive assessment techniques.During the first assigned team project in the fall of 1999, students’ lack of prior knowledgebecame evident. Most students had few team skills. Instructors and teaching assistants scrambledto inject team management instructions into an already full teaching schedule.

fastest growing multidisciplinary fieldsat the intersection of computer science and mathematics, and concerns the construction and study ofsystems that can learn from data. A core objective of a learner is to generalize knowledge gained fromthe experience8. Generalization in this context is the ability of a learning machine to perform correctlyon new, unseen data samples or tasks9. For example, a pattern recognition system could be trained onemail messages to learn distinguishing between spam and non-spam messages. After learning, it canthen be used to classify new email messages into spam and non-spam folders10. Pattern Recognition hasa broad range of applications spanning from computational neuroscience and medical diagnosis to stockmarket

They offeropportunities to enhance student engagement, support the creation of teaching materials, anddeliver personalized educational approaches [10].However, integrating LLMs into education presents several practical and ethical challenges, suchas insufficient technological readiness, a lack of transparency, and privacy concerns [8]. Toovercome these obstacles, researchers suggest updating existing innovations with advancedmodels, supporting open-sourcing initiatives, and taking a human-centered approach todevelopment [4]. Furthermore, educators and students must cultivate new skills to understandand critically assess outputs generated by LLMs [10].Despite these challenges, LLMs can transform educational practices and

Using grounded theory,persistence factors have emerged inductively from the body of qualitative data (i.e. unstructuredethnographic interviews). The six persistence factors that surfaced were: (1) family influences;(2) financial motivation; (3) mathematics and science proficiency; (4) academic advising; (5)quality of instruction; and (6) availability of faculty.

Even more concerning,studies have shown that suicide is the second leading cause of death of college students (~1.1klives/year). Issues are well-presented in engineering. UES have suggested that stress is a“necessity,” demonstrating how harmful engineering cultures create pervasive narratives againstwell-being [4]. Culture has also been shown to have a repeated effect on UES help-seekingbehaviors and faculty support of mental health [5].

Oral examinations, usedfor most graduate and post-graduate programs to assess whether or not a student is qualified tocontinue in the program, are well known to be effective in determining a student’s level ofunderstanding8. However, the time-intensive nature of individual oral examinations is perceivedto be prohibitive of their use in today’s undergraduate class sizes and faculty work loads. Toaddress this issue, an innovative technique of team-based oral examinations was attempted. Thebenefits of an oral defense of a student’s solution, peer review

paper, we present a model for an introductory freshman-level course that helps addressstudent enrollment and retention issues. Our course is based on three tenets: (1) the course drawsproblems from, and teaches about, an interesting and relevant domain in which students alreadyare familiar, (2) the course encourages teamwork and peer communication, (3) the student isactively responsible for their education. To address these, the class teaches game design in acollaborative environment in which students are given open-ended assignments to promotecreativity. We address instructor grading concerns, various student skill levels, and individualassessment. In our approach, we encourage the implicit acquisition of basic computer scienceconcepts and
