Paper ID #17857Development and Use of a Client Interaction Rubric for Formative Assess-mentDr. John K. Estell, Ohio Northern University Dr. John K Estell is Professor of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio Northern Uni- versity, providing instruction primarily in the areas of introductory computer programming and first-year engineering. He has been on the faculty of the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Department since 2001, and served as department chair from 2001-2010. He received a B.S.C.S.E. degree from The University of Toledo and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science
courses to update and keep up with new technologies. The energy security, economicand environmental issues placed renewable energy systems on governmental, academia andindustry agendas. As a consequence the demand for courses on RES in engineering and scienceprograms has increased dramatically over the last three decades [4-9]. Moreover, rapidtechnological advances require the engineers working in these areas to improve their knowledgein order to match these growing requirements, constituting a real challenge for educationalinstitutions [4, 9‐12]. New teaching approaches and life-long learning become even moreimportant today. The technological progress is faster than ever and the “life-time” of theeducation for a graduate is becoming shorter and

Again this text does not utilize riskassessment strategies of green engineering.Pollution prevention educators also mention other books that can be used in a course. Forexample, Freeman11 has produced a handbook referenced by many pollution preventioneducators. Other general texts include those by Rossiter12 and Theodore13, and a new text that isbeing completed by Paul Bishop at University of Cincinnati. For those courses with an emphasison mass integration, the text by El-Halwagi14 is available. For case studies and pollutionprevention problems, one can consider the compilation of problems by Allen15 titled, “PollutionPrevention
members' pressure to focus theirtime on producing a substantial volume of grant-funded research publications and the effortexpended to develop a new course or modify an existing course [2]. Felder and Brentrecommended the following considerations for STEM instructors who evaluate textbook options: ● book reviews, ● match of content and the content order to the course plan, ● instructor supports (test question banks, illustrations, and other materials to support lectures), ● learner supports (self-tests, practice problems with answers), ● inclusion of multimedia (illustrations, tutorials, equations), and ● cost to students [2].However, newer faculty may be advised to replicate what their peers have already developed orto
alreadypresented a convincing case in support of oral exams, outlining their potential to encourage deeplearning [24]–[27], promote student-faculty connection [28]–[34], develop students’ technicalspeaking skills [35], [36], [30], [37], [30], [38], and combat cheating [23], [31], [39]–[44], [34].Scaling oral exams to large-enrollment classes, however, can be prohibitively expensive in termsof time commitment, scheduling requirements, and the number of instructional assistants neededfor the examination process [28], [36], [37], [45]–[47]. As a solution to the scalability problem,we propose the merging of oral exams and peer assessment, which yields a new assessmentmodality unifying the merits of both practices. The highly scalable practice of peer

In anaddendum Lord Percy wrote, “Not every college of technology will be able to aspire toUniversity status, but it should be the policy of Government to treat them as a group and todevelop from among them some major University Institutions” (para 9, Note of Dissent)The Committee was divided on the issue of qualification. Those who were against the awardof a diploma argued that the “tradition of the degree […] is so deeply implanted in the mindsof grammar school students, their parents, and, it may be

This ensures that faculty-developed design projects are of an appropriate scope and contextin order to provide proper scaffolding to support the six individual educational modules. This paperdemonstrates how such a framework can be applied to both create new projects for the course, aswell as redesign existing projects to better meet course goals and incorporate module content.1.

In Canada’stelecommunications market of nearly 15 billion dollars a year, fiber optic is playing a vitalrole13.The rapid growth in the wireless and wireline industries has created a shortage of qualifiedengineers and technologists over the past several years14.

Problems in remote labs setupOut of 99 responses, only 19 students did not complain about the remote lab setup. The majorityof the students have faced some problems as shown in Fig. 1. Problems with the software downloadand installation on different operating systems were the major complaint in remote labs. The useof hardware components was the second major source of concern, as students struggled to learnthe handling of new equipment without physical instruction. Fifteen students have indicated thatthey received the kits either late, or with missing components. Approximately 7% of the responsesreported the receipt of defective hardware components in

Creating correct prompts to ChatGPT is a crucial factor in receivingquality results, this is an area where instructors can assist the students if they take the time tolearn how to use the tool properly [6]. There is a consensus that ChatGPT will be integrated withcourses in the future; however, instructors must reassess their approaches to student assessments[16, 17].Ethics and AI Platforms:According to Pazzanese's 2020 analysis, the rapid integration of AI into numerous industries hasintroduced new ethical issues, such as workforce displacement, data privacy, and humanautonomy [18].

Thevast diversity of the collection and its strength in engineering subject areas is a selling pointwhen the university recruits both graduate students and potential faculty members. However,even a large budget is not an unlimited one and recently, the library has been forced to tightencontrol of the purse strings. Collections spending, especially spending on multi-yearsubscriptions, has become a major concern for administration.As a librarian new to this institution, the author
