At present she is Member Level 1 of the National Researches System from CONACYT M´exico. She has been addressing several projects promoting the use of technology in the teaching of Calculus and the implications of such innovation on the learning of the fundamental ideas that this scientific discipline encourages. She has also been participating in the development of the Educational Model that Tecnol´ogico de Monterrey promotes through the design of the syllabi of the Mathematics Courses for Engineering and its distribution with the use of
conducted studies by using the facilities of institutions such as Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Carnegie Institution of Washington. Before joining JU, he also worked as a Design and Production Engineer for the defense company Aselsan Inc. (1999-2004) and as a faculty at Muskingum University (2009-2015). Dr. Selvi currently focuses his activities on Engineering Education field as it relates to our new design-based curriculum contents such as design thinking, project based learning, sustainable design, and service learning.Ron EdelenMarjan Eggermont (Teaching Professor)Murat Tiryakioglu (Professor)Justin R.

Engineering Education, 2012 Automated Quality Assessment for Peer Reviews of Student Work AbstractReviews are text-based feedback provided by a reviewer to the author of a submission. Reviewsare used not only in education to assess student work, but also in e-commerce applications, toassess the quality of products on sites like Amazon, ebay etc. Since reviews play a crucial role inproviding feedback to people who make assessment decisions (deciding on a student’s grade,purchase decision of a product etc.), it is important to ensure that reviews are of a good quality.In our work we propose the use of metrics such as content, tone and quantity of feedback tosuitably represent a review.

Specifically, are we contributing to their education if they’re turning the crank onsoftware into which they have no insight regarding its inner mechanics? This is a legitimategeneral concern, though probably not applicable to the TetrUSS suite. Successful projectexecution, in this case, required a level of user interaction that compelled the student toindependently pursue an understanding of many internal mechanical issues. Examples includedunderstanding the selection of turbulence models, selection of CFL number, selection of implicitvs. explicit routines, source influence on solutions to the Laplace equation, etc. Grappling withsuch details ensured that the faculty’s broader
