Studies have shown that these students often experience lower self-efficacy and a weakersense of belonging, which can negatively impact their persistence in engineering programs [10-11]. According to researchers, well-structured first-year seminar courses permit students toexperience a better transition from high school to college, understanding the new expectationsand work demands, developing time-management and study skills, particularly for students atrisk [12]. Besides, small group seminars facilitate the interaction with faculty and peers creatinga community of support leading to a better outcome of persistence and performance [13].

However, this sample size is also too small todefine a correlation with role assignments and rotations. Future analysis is needed to providefurther insight on any correlation between student perceived success, their opportunities for roleplacement and their individual performance.ConclusionThis work aims to promote strategies that increase student interest in team engagement within acollaborative and inclusive environment.

Students gradually improve a processor given new knowledge. In AI,students discuss inference in formal logic (propositional logic, fuzzy logic, probability theory),machine learning (neural networks), and constraint satisfaction (genetic algorithms, evolutionarystrategies, and genetic programming).

Also, anxietycan have consequences such as damaging students’ confidence which affects their performance,so new learning methods must be developed to guarantee academic success and improve themental health of students [33]. In addition, a relationship can be noted between emotionalintelligence and academic performance, so if a student obtains high scores on emotionalintelligence tests, they can be expected to have better management of his or her emotions andrecovers more quickly from the stress of an exam [34].

The end goal of FA is to establish constructvalidity, which is critical to developing quality assessment tools.

For example, the overwhelming majority offormal student-faculty contact hours in engineering education remains based on the in-classlecture. The weaknesses of the traditional lecture as the prime source of academic learning, havehowever become clear.1-3 Specifically, many feel that the exclusive use of lectures can create apassive learning environment that reinforces any pre-existing “teach me” attitudes in students.4Ongoing research in educational methods at WPI5 has also
