Personally speaking, I believe the cultivation of AI talents can be divided into two types: students who are already majoring in AI and students who have never studied AI. Currently, how to educate students who have never learned AI is a challenge. Because the curriculum system for AI majors is relatively mature, while AI education for non-AI majors is mostly in an undeveloped state (Instructor, X).Due to significant differences in academic backgrounds, mathematical foundations, and otheraspects among participating students, the program adopts a

One way to assess the progress of the student wouldbe to compare the student’s total accumulated credits to the credits required by the student’sspecific degree program at graduation. Such credits are generally referred to as excess credits inthe higher-education literature [13].This paper seeks to explain the credit efficiency of university students. Not all creditsaccumulated by students are usable towards their degree program of study - a fact that often goesunaccounted for based on the excess credits definitions mentioned above. Even if they are usable,they may not be applicable. In this work, we use a custom-built specialized audit tool todecompose student credits in the following way: unusable

Despite the growing number of engineering technology degrees awarded annually,there is a scarcity of research focusing on the acquisition of engineering identity, particularlyamong FG students. Overall, this project will utilize a two phase, mixed methods approach. Inthe first phase, we will quantitatively assess academic performance comparisons between firstgeneration and continuing generation engineering students and utilize the

In this way, they may begin to “transgress” againstdominant views of engineering that can limit students’ critical thinking and engagement withsocio-political issues within engineering contexts. Liberatory pedagogy also disrupts the statusquo of power dynamics and practices in the postsecondary classroom, opening up space for newclassroom activities and assessments that create a more collaborative and equitable learningenvironment [1].In this paper, I explore the redesign of an undergraduate engineering technology and societycourse in relation to the idea of

Surveys of the students will used to assess their time commitment, comfort level,perception of fairness, and overall satisfaction.

Oftenphenomena is being imagined in 3-dimensions, and the use of gestures can compliment student-generated graphic models that are often in 2-dimensions. Finally, combining modalitiesfacilitates an understanding of phenomena that varies in scale, temporality and causality. The useof multiple modes to express ideas highlights gaps in reasoning often not identified if only onemode of thinking is used. It is difficult to assess student drawings without written work, andanalysis of these drawings often requires student verbal
