Through the analysis, we seek to explore how high schooleducation in Arkansas is preparing students for next-generation workforce needs in analytics. Inaddition, we perform a descriptive statistics analysis of the learning modules created by theparticipating teachers through the AR-DATA program. We summarize the standards the teachershave used for their modules as well as the common ideas and topics of the learning modules.Through connecting the modules in different subject areas, we also analyze the possibilities ofcollaborative lesson plans that teachers in different fields can coordinate and teach together.Finally, we examine related topics in the post-secondary

wanted to ensure that students develop skills in not only project management but alsoworking in teams. The literature shows that Project Management Education needs to include apractical, hands-on project where students can use the theory they are learning to plan, manage,and execute a project with real stakeholders. Van der Horn and Killen found in their research inproject management education that courses in project management require more than justknowing the theory but rather having “lived experiences” and challenges for effective learning[1]. In addition, input from the university’s and department’s advisory boards demand thatstudents have project management skills that they can employ straight out of school.As part of redefining the course

Moreover, Gen AI's ability to analyze team dynamics andanticipate potential conflicts equips educators and students with invaluable resources for fostering aharmonious working environment conducive to creativity and productivity.Central to this paper is the development of the Team Dynamics and Conflict Resolution (TDCR) module,which provides students with the needed knowledge and hands-on skills to form project teams, promoteteam dynamics, and successfully resolve conflicts. This paper provided a detailed plan to integrate the TDCR module in any given course plan.While the TDCR module is a standalone module, the author proposes

Assuming successful completion of that testing, we plan to implement it “live” witha predictive analytics class in the fall semester of 2023 and then make it broadly available for useby other instructors.A major planned enhancement to the generation of individualized datasets involves expandingthe randomization beyond the residuals term to the randomization of the generative modelcoefficients.Also planned is expanded dataset functionality to include categorical response vectors,generalized linear models (primarily Poisson regression), and the incorporation of

According to Williams [15], defining the learningoutcomes for an engineering undergraduate program is the critical first step in revising thecurriculum, developing courses, and creating an assessment plan. Learning outcomes can be used by faculty to assess students' learning progress throughoutthe program and should be defined for each competence. Evaluation rubrics have beenadopted to measure the various levels of competence development. Rubrics are valuable toolsin student assessment and help indicate students' learning level for the learning

The US Army Research Laboratory has funded Dr. Pennathur’s research on workload assessment. Dr. Pennathur has also been recently awarded two grants from the National Science Foundation in Engineering Education. In one of the grants, he is modeling how engineering faculty plan for their instruction. In a second grant, he is developing a model for institutional transformation in engineering
