. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 The development of an artificial intelligence classifier to automate assessment in large class settings: preliminary resultsAbstractThis evidence based practice paper presents preliminary results in using an artificialintelligence classifier to mark student assignments in a large class setting. The assessmenttask consists of an approximately 2000 word reflective essay that is produced underexamination conditions and submitted electronically. The marking is a simple pass/faildetermination, and no explicit feedback beyond the pass/fail grade is provided to the students.Each year around 1500 students complete this assignment, which places a significant andtime-constrained marking load

presentation of the second law of thermodynamics uses imaginary heatengines undergoing specific imaginary processes to derive the Clausius Inequality, which, in turnis used to derive entropy and exergy relations. The specific and abstract nature of this derivationis an impediment to conceptual clarity and generalization. An alternative method of deriving theClausius Inequality and other second-law results was recently proposed by the author. It does notrely on imaginary reversible processes occurring inside heat engines; all results can be derived forany arbitrary control volume with heat and/or work interactions. The efficacy of the alternatederivation has been assessed in this work, by comparing students from two class sections of anundergraduate

Title: How to conduct oral exams as a more equitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledgeassessmentDuring the 2020 pandemic, remote classes became the standard for engineering and technology coursesacross the country. Oral exams have been frequently deployed as a means to ensure academic honesty.This presentation explores, analyzes, and discusses multiple factors that makes oral exam a moreequitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledge assessment. The focus is on the loosely-structured, dialogue-type oral exams evaluated by the course instructor.Oral exams are known to help improve students’ oral communication skills and performance underpressure, but it is also known to be very time consuming and subjective.
