Engineering Education, 2023 On Time-based Exploration of Student Performance PredictionAbstractPredicting student performance early enough to intervene and provide help has been alongstanding topic of interest among the educational research community. Many studies haveinvestigated making these predictions, and two main issues have been pointed out: the portabilityand robustness of these predictions. Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other tools usedby courses today capture extensive amounts of information about student performance that ishelpful not only in improving earlier attempts at these predictions, but also in taking themfurther. This is a work-in-progress study that looks at ways to accurately predict studentperformance based on

This study assessed theperformance of students who received web-based training in a mechanical engineeringtechnology course, versus students in the same course who did not receive the web-basedtraining. The title of the course studied was MET 142, Manufacturing Processes 1. This coursewas designed to introduce students to manufacturing processes such as casting, forming andwelding. A hands-on approach was used to introduce these concepts. Since not all studentsenrolled were Mechanical Engineering Technology majors, their diverse backgrounds had to betaken into

By this means, with less effort than maintaining awritten grade book, it is possible to evaluate the degree of comprehension the class has regardingany area of the subject matter being tested. It is also a straightforward matter to determine whichquestions have “worked” on a test and which have failed to evaluate the level of knowledge ofthe students. The development of a grading curve can be shown with every graded assignment sothat the teacher always knows the degree of challenge to program into the next test orassignment.

that they can better design coursecontent and establish policies.Research studies in computer science courses have shown that students who spread their workover more time (instead of cramming before a deadline) [3] or complete their work early [4]achieve better course performance. Nevertheless, academic procrastination (the intentionaldeferring or delaying of work that needs to be completed [5]) is a significant problem in highereducation. Some findings report that 80–95% of college students procrastinate, and that 50% ofstudents procrastinate consistently [6, 7, 8]. Procrastination can be caused by many reasons, suchas a lack of time management skills, too much work in some classes, or simply not having theright incentive to work.One way to
