Back in Connecticut, local industry protests loudly when theycannot find new employees that understand motors.II. Perspective While preparing my notes for the 1998 ASEE National Conference I realized that all new work in all fields from Anthropology to Zoology follows a process which has the same fundamental steps:a.) PROBLEM: Recognizing and identifying a need for answers to a new situation or the needfor further development of a field of study.b.) DESIGN: Defining the experimental apparatus and procedures to accomplish the desiredresult. This may involve standard instruments and apparatus or

STEM courses can help students developcultural awareness as well as strategies to navigate the differences effectively.Keywords: undergraduate students, STEM, intercultural competenceIntroduction and BackgroundIn this era of the 21st century, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)education has gained paramount significance. Projections indicate that the U.S. economy willwitness an addition of approximately 1.4 million STEM-related jobs by the year 2030 [1].Notably, the median wage for STEM occupations is roughly double that of other professions inthe economy. Consequently, higher education institutions advocate for increased enrollment inSTEM programs. The increasing globalization of the workforce and the collaborative nature

Page 24.1207.7Research MethodsAt the outset of this project various research study designs were considered, and it was decidedto use a mixed-methods approach with the control and treatment groups being cohorts ofdifferent years (control – 2012, and treatment – 2013). The reason for this was that it washypothesized that the two cohorts would have very similar characteristics and academic abilitiesgiven that the design was focused around a core course in the second year of a fixed program (atthis institution within this engineering department the courses over the first two years are fixed.)Over the two years a series of data were

The findings suggest that while fine-tuning could furtherimprove performance, our training-free approach presents a valuable tool for educators andinstitutions facing resource constraints. The inclusion of broader feature dimensions and thestrategic design of cognitive assessments emerge as key factors in maximizing the zero-shotefficacy of LLMs for educational forecasting. Our work underscores the significant opportunitiesfor leveraging conversational LLMs in educational settings and sets the stage for futureadvancements in personalized, data-driven student

Questions are reused from CON homework sets, but theassignments are less complex: ten to twenty MC and up to three free response questions. UnlikeCON, the instructor varies the daily topic based on JiTT results. JiTT quizzes are worth 5% of astudent’s overall grade. During lecture, students apply knowledge with peer-instruction. We usepair programming, a software engineering paradigm where one person is the driver and the otheris the navigator. The driver focuses on the problem and writes/codes. The navigator reads ahead,manages time, and validates. The driver and navigator get the same grade. The
