Its skill-tree approachcovers digital logic, binary arithmetic, and memory. The end goal is to create a turing completecomputer through building blocks developed during each different section of the tree. In this paper,we suggest adapting and modifying problems from the game to
through Eye TrackingIntroductionBiomedical engineering stands at the forefront of addressing complex healthcare challengesthrough continuous innovation. Cultivating adept biomedical engineers crucially involvesexposing them to clinical environments, enabling them to identify and address unmet needs [1-3]. Clinical immersions enable students to identify unmet needs by exposing them to diversehealthcare training and delivery contexts. These experiences equip students to make well-informed design decisions, extending beyond the classroom to the dynamic landscapes ofacademia and industry [4]. The skill set cultivated through clinical immersion includesproficiency in interdisciplinary communication, a nuanced understanding of the constraints

NLP and machine learning techniques also preserve thecontext and nuance of participant responses, moving beyond frequency counts to synthesizericher and more complex qualitative data (González Canché, 2023).Statement of the ProblemThe NSF I-Corps program collects program evaluation data through surveys comprised primarilyof quantitative survey items and a few open-ended items. To gain insight into the learningpriorities of entrepreneurial teams, we examined responses to the open-ended question: “Whataspects of your team would you like to strengthen as a result of the I-Corps course?” Given thelarge number of I-Corps participants across the U.S., it would be very challenging and time-consuming to analyze responses
theopportunities for undergraduate research projects, students can significantly advance theireducation by applying first-hand the curricula they are learning in class. This approach allowsfor a greater understanding of the advanced sciences and an early exposure to the laboratoryskills, both technical and practical, utilized by the professional engineering industry. One way of accomplishing this is through the pursuit of research inmicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and the technologies it encompasses. MEMS researchis an innovative research area for undergraduates because it incorporates a diverse range oftechnical skills in various engineering fields and represents many current and emergingapplications in society. With a history of over 30

It also presents the qualitative feedback from faculty membersregarding the technical and behavioral aspects acquired by the students. The obtained datademonstrate that the development of applied projects that combine learning with realcommunity problems fosters greater engagement and expands the incoming student'sworldview, allowing them to perceive themselves as capable of being transformativeagents in their communities.IntroductionThis complete paper presents the implementation of an annual mentoring program [1-4

They almost uniformly see great value in this and talked at some length about how this PD is dramatically different and more valuable than most other PD they have experienced. Many, but not all, teachers described the approach spreading in at least one of the following ways. A. To other lessons beyond those they were required to do. B. To other teachers in their teams. C. To other teachers across most or their entire school. Suggestions for future: -More detailed feedback on lessons, both in planning stages and in observations. They want both validation and constructive criticism. -Some more communication on "why" and the big picture from our

beyond grading andmeasurement of students’content-based knowledge.For faculty outcomes, assessment shouldinclude both professional development and self development aspects. From the professionaldevelopment side, faculty must be able to distinguish between assessment of LTS and LTS-related research. A good practice is to align assessments with university goals, and studentoutcomes that encompass both the ABET A-K and broader outcomes. Community assessmentwas believed to be one of the weakest elements of LTS activities.The ranked list of best practices in assessment (top = most important) were: Assess a variety of outcomes beyond ABET (a)-(k) and student learning Most of these were community impacts, assess social justice in service

method for delivering thetheoretical concepts of engineering ethics to students in a relatable, tangible way. The projectcontinuously exposed students to an unpredictable ethical environment that provided numerous,unforeseen challenges. This unsheltered exposure facilitated an environment where studentswere encouraged to deeply reflect upon ethical issues in a global context. As a result, studentsrecognized that the most appropriate solution to an ethical challenge in a multiculturalenvironment may be one that is found in consensus through interaction and expands beyond theirnatural American perspective.Ethical challenges faced in the Ti Peligre modelDuring the Ti Peligre bridge project, students were faced with numerous unforeseen,multifaceted
