The scenario described asituation where the student missed a day of work because they had partied too hard thenight before. Then the next day, during a meeting, their supervisor inquired why theyhad not been at work. The possible responses included A. They should explain to their supervisor that they were ill. B. They

This automation willallow healthcare workers to have more time to do tasks that require more attention or manual work[4]. Despite the many advancements in machine learning, the goal of automation and official useof algorithms in healthcare is far from being achieved.Our research that inspired in adolescents and healthcare began with an increasing rise in machinelearning for real world applications, especially adolescents in healthcare, as seen the restriction inextracurriculars in school due COVID-19.

Page 14.88.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 A Preliminary Survey of Engineering Ethics Courses NationwideIntroductionIt is not enough that engineering students leave campus and head into a job with only the abilityto perform calculations. We live in a world where engineers must not just think about design,but also about the implications of those designs, or how they impact people and the environment.Engineering ethics carries momentous importance. How many undergraduate engineeringprograms require a full course in engineering ethics? What kinds of topics and case studies dostudents in these courses examine? What specifically do students learn in these engineeringethics

Funded by the NationalScience Foundation, this project has developed four workshops directed toward graduatestudents to provide them with decision making tools for reaching ethical decisions. Theworkshops which build upon one another, (1) help graduate students become aware of issues andproblems in research ethics, (2) outline a method of moral deliberation to help them analyzeproblematic situations, (3) provide students with tools and practice in analyzing real world ethicscases in the research context, and (4) offer a capstone activity in which the students give posterpresentations on a case connected to their research interests.This paper focuses on the third of the series

Mercer’s National Engineering Advisory Board, a group of senior technical executives from industry,has%-ongly encouraged the use of multidisciplinary design projects in our program because they representthe types of design challenges that exist today. Engineers are called upon to interface intelligently withothers-outside their area of expertise. For the student, having to tackle a multidisciplinary effort requires newteam building skills that have not been developed in the engineering science courses of the sophomore andjunior years. Another aspect of the “real world” that is easily replicated in most academic engineering designprograms is the need to operate in

To meet such demands, this paper proposes theSimple Simulator to implement a multi-core cache scheme forstudents, which can design it through simple running methods usingPin Tool. The proposed Simple Simulator is a trace-drivensimulator since it needs to read traced instructions and data alongwith memory addresses and functions, such as load, store, and otherinstructions. The Pin Tool collects the traced instructions and databy executing real application programs (or benchmark programs)[5, 8]. However, the cache scheme design is not easy since studentsneed to know both CPU and cache

Thisinvolved planning the labs to be consistent with the curriculum, creating the BOM, acquiring theinventory for up to 138 kits, assembling the kits, distributing the kits, writing the lab manual, andrecording the videos.We decided to record videos for the first five labs and hold off on the last five labs to getfeedback from students.

Barnlunds study concluded that highperforming individuals do not benefit from working in groups – in fact their performance suffers.11 Although teaming provides a real world experience it can be a deterrent to creative thinking,and shouldn’t be the only skill taught in a design class.BrainstormingThe concept of brainstorming was first introduced in the 1957 book “Applied Imagination :Principles and procedures of creative problem solving” by AF Osborn.

Groups ofstudents were given information on a real process where an accident had occurred in order toprovide them the technical background on the process. Then, they pretended to be a safetyreview team looking at the process before the accident occurred to try to predict potentialhazards. One team used HAZOP analysis, while the other used the “What-If?” method forevaluating process safety.

AtPSB, this is done by incorporating an industrial sponsored project as part of the experience. Theoverall experience involves a sequence of two courses taken in the fall and spring semesters for atotal of 4 credits. The fall course is one credit with the remaining three credits for the springcourse. Although the project is the foundation of the courses, there are other topics taught aswell.
