The ability of these sen-sors to track many body parts simultaneously has introduced a new data modality for analysis.By analyzing body language, this work can predict if a student will struggle in the future, and ifan instructor should intervene. To accomplish this, a study is performed to determine how early(after how

First, from an engineering education perspective, he emphasizes the importance of communicating essential knowledge to non-engineers. The second per- spective comes from the mathematics education research literature. There is a well-established paradox: students often fail to apply familiar methods when they attempt to solve novel problems. Coordinating these perspectives has facilitated
