2028? (d) Uncle Mort is interested to know how much of his first and second monthly payment goes toward the interest paid to the bank. (e) Write a short memo to Uncle Mort and explain to him how you solve parts a through d.The instructor also employs case study. The following are two sample case studies used inengineering economy course:Uncle Mort’s rent or buy dilemma: Uncle Mort can rent the house for $2000 per month. If heplans to live in the house for five years. Use present worth analysis to decide which alternativehe should choose (be sure to show the cash flow diagram for each alternative and state allassumptions). Produce a report that includes, at a minimum, a brief description of the conceptslearned and recommendations

A Research Study on Student Conceptions of Artificial Intelligence Ashish Hingle and Aditya Johri College of Engineering & Computing, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USAAbstractArtificial Intelligence (AI) discussion is commonplace in news-media, policy circles, andpopular culture today. A basic level of AI literacy is fundamental to understanding this world-shaping technology, especially for engineering students. However, these concepts are oftenambiguously defined with varying expertise, understanding, and imagination levels. This studyexplores how first- and second-year engineering students define artificial intelligence and thesources influencing

According to Mauchly’sTest of Sphericity, the variances of differences are homogenous W = X2(2) = 1.586, p = 0.452.The findings are appealing to the fact that TS may be helped using this style of testing, at least forthe fundamental or foundational courses.Note that the course is comprised of assignments other than these tests and that the students’ overallsuccess in the course depended on other assignments.Discussion and ConclusionMore data needs to be collected before concrete conclusion can be drawn regarding the knowledgeenhancement the students gain from multiple testing, and hence their grades improvement. Table1 suggests that in all

signals that the time-domain features lack. This allows the LSTM model to betterencode the beam’s vibration response, and thus, detect anomalies more accurately.Project Challenges and Lessons LearnedThe field of vibration analysis and the motion of physical structures was a new domain to thestudents involved in the project, all of whom had a traditional electrical engineering or computerengineering background. Getting up to speed on the fundamental concepts of this domain whileworking on this project was a significant challenge. Successful capture and real-time processingof analog signals itself is an extensive field which, although somewhat familiar to the students,took significant effort to refresh on and learn as the vibration signal capture

), safety, cost, and availability. Immediatelyfollowing disassembly, the students are asked to write a report detailing the number of parts, howthey fit together, and why each part is necessary. In this moment, many students realize thescope of what they don’t know about the behavior of “simple” engineered products, and theydevelop a deeper appreciation of engineering as a synthesis of materials, harnessed mathematicsand science, and cost considerations -- all of which they will learn in later courses. Beforereassembly, the students can measure and catalogue the parts, draw or otherwise model them insoftware, reassemble them (in simulation and/or physically), and write a report about how, why,and how well the re-assembled product works [23

computer science students.Through the study of this case in the UID course, we expose engineering students to hands-onexperience in acquiring and applying industry-standard theories and methods to design successfuluser interfaces, experimentally evaluate the interactive system and learn the fundamentals ofspeech recognition technology. The UID learning model provides students with a comprehensiveunderstanding of the user interface design process. It also provides a great experience in terms ofteamwork as they have to work with teams of 4-8 people depending on the size of the project, andallows students to practice more programming, which is essential for computer science students.The additional advantage is that students improve their writing

tables and chairs. However, the university started believing "there is no front to an active classroom" and removed whiteboards and replaced them with glass boards in these active-learning classrooms. These boards were hard to write on and reflected the classroom lights. The boards also had limited writing space, even for short lectures. The first author moved the class to a "regular" auditorium with many more seats than students, for example, having 80 students in an auditorium that seats 140. The effectiveness of active learning did not suffer much. Leaving every other row vacant allowed the instructor and the teaching assistants to move around fully © American Society for
