The responses led to discussions about the need to shift fromoverinvolvement in minor details of current activities to planning for institutionalization of thesuccessful parts of the project and identifying sources of future funding for additional activities.The team also was able to discuss communication problems and take steps to address them.Groups

IntroductionUnlike various pedagogies such as evidence-based teaching, personalized adaptive learning (PAL)[1] stands out by continuously monitoring each student’s progress and adjusting the educationaljourney according to their distinct knowledge and needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach,PAL tailors the learning journey for each learner. A pivotal tool in making PAL effective isknowledge tracing (KT) [2], which tracks the progression of students’ understanding to anticipatetheir upcoming performance. Using these insights, tailored suggestions for study materials andpathways can be provided to cater to individual requirements. Additionally, content that might bedeemed too

The orbital mechanics class included two sections (n =28 and n = 38) taught by thesame instructor. We chose to study a junior-level course because at this point in the curriculumstudents have basic disciplinary knowledge and some experience with open-ended questions. Thejunior year is also important in the shift from novice to expert as students complete the majorityof their technical classes before their senior capstone design classes.

During the last 15 years there has been an emphasis on reducing the credits for a degree.Most programs have decreased by 2 or 3 courses, that is 6 to 10 credits. As a comparison of astudent forty years ago who had 19 credits of chemistry and physics and 12 credits ofengineering mechanics, the student today has only 12 credits of chemistry and physics and 3-6credits of engineering mechanics.
