most widely used IM systems.Instant messaging works like this: • The user installs IM client software locally on an Internet-connected computer. This software is normally offered for free. • Using the IM client software, the user logs into a central server. • The IM client provides the server with connection information and the names on the user’s contact list (often called a “buddy list”). • The server informs the IM client if any of the user’s contacts are also logged in and provides their connection information to the client. • The user can now send messages to any of the contacts who are on line. Because the IM client already has connection information for all of the user’s contacts, messages are

that several student outcomes inthese areas could be improved. Collaborative exercises which build upon materials selection andperformance in devices experiencing significant loads during service, such as orthopedicreplacement devices and stents, seem to be promising tools in improving certain student learningoutcomes and have built student interest and excitement in the course. Even in this diverseaudience, students have a conceptual foundation from which scaffolding can be built to enhancetheir knowledge base in materials engineering. To illustrate, it is essential that the femoral stemin a hip replacement load the bone appropriately so that bone loss does not occur from stressshielding.

Therefore, it also gives students an opportunity to practice a skill that appears to have been lostin this era of high-speed computing, the “back of the envelope” calculation. Conclusion In summary, a process trouble-shooting problem, such as the one described here, provides studentswith an open-ended experience which is meant to enhance their problem-solving skills. Creativity is alsoenhanced. They learn that a cause and its effect can be located far from each other on a flowsheet. Unlikecomprehensive design problems, the trouble-shooting problem relies on intuitive understanding rather thanrepetitive, complex calculations. Therefore, it also

While time-series modelshave forecast capability, their prediction accuracies are often lower than those using tabular dataprediction, making them less popular for this application. 1In this study, we propose formulating the retention prediction as a classification task forsequential data. Traditionally, predicting a class from a time series sequence usually uses modelslike Hidden Markov Models, K-Nearest Models, and Support Vector Machines with sequencekernels. With the advancements in large language models, we introduce a new approach usingthe latest developments in multimodal AI to address this
