Role in Personalized Learning and Assessment," two notable studiesoffer substantial insights. The first study, conducted by [8], presents a unique perspective onintroducing machine learning concepts to first-year undergraduate engineering students. Thisexploratory study is significant for its use of authentic and active learning tools, including a publicGoogle site repository and a course project. The methodology adopted by [8] is innovative, as itengages students in an introductory algorithms and MATLAB programming course. The study’sfindings indicate an increased recognition of the importance and usefulness of machine learningamong students, though it also reveals perceived challenges in grasping these concepts. Theapproach employed by [8

Second, multiple authors expressed a desire to maintain some levelof control over their work. This includes concerns about commercial use, wanting properattribution, and retaining creative control. Third, some authors indicated that their license choicewas influenced by recommendations from library staff and university policies or was simply thedefault option provided by the authoring platform they were using.Authoring Support:When asked about authorship teams, over half of responding authors wrote their OER alone, andseveral also mentioned being self-motivated for their projects.

pedagogy of using game elements and/or gamedesigns to motivate student learning and promote a growth mindset [1][2][3]. Gamification canbe done in either large or small scopes. Small scope gamification activities usually involvedesigning an individual class activity or assignment in a certain game format, which is verycontext specific. On the other hand, large scope gamification refers to gamifying an entirecourse. Many STEM courses share similar structure (lectures, labs, assignments, projects, etc.),which makes a generic course gamification framework possible.This paper provides a generic framework to gamify a college-level course. Even though theframework can be implemented to turn all course components into game elements, the focus ofthe paper

TheEERI is based on Kohlberg’s moral development theory and relies on micro and macro ethics inengineering. Similar to DIT-2 and ESIT, EERI is also a scenario-based assessment instrument:The instrument presents design scenarios that were adapted from students’ design projects andasks students to select the action that they would most likely take in the situation. After studentsmake a decision, they are also asked to rate a series of items how important each item was inmaking their decision.The authors utilized a mix-method approach to validate the instrument.

These methods however do not mention efforts to look atquestion context when developing the concept inventories. In addition, because CI developerswrite the questions specifically to assess students’ conceptual understanding of the topic in a‘real-world’ context, there is potential that not all students would have the same exposure orrelatability to the context [11]–[13]. Thus, the questions have the potential to perpetuatecontextual bias through sociocultural norms[11], [12], [14]. National organizations that

High turnover often means training lessknowledgeable and less experienced workers at a faster pace in order to replace workers leavingat a faster rate. There can be a negative impact on workers remaining with their employers whomay perceive they are being left behind or being underpaid [21]. High turnover can also have anegative effect on a company’s image, which can make it even harder for them to hirereplacement workers.One of the well-documented effects of the Great Resignation is an increase in remote working[24].

How much time do theyspend on each activity? As noted in Table 3, 77% (n=65) of the engineering students reportedspending time in frequent or very frequent individual study, while 42% (n=35) said they used thelibrary for very frequent or frequent group study.Table 3: Frequency of library use for the following tasks.

To help resolve issues related to spaces for studentwork, projects, and labs, the recommendations were focused on clearly identifying safety issuesrelated to the activities allowed in the spaces, the time of the day the spaces are open to students,and the need to have secured access and monitoring of the spaces. Other recommendations madeby the workshop participants included taking advantage of surplus or rotated equipmentprograms that federal labs and some industry partners may run to help reduce the funds that theprograms themselves must provide.Five of the seven statements in this theme fall into a potentially more informative pattern.

Five of the classesincluded labs and 10 of the 12 classes traditionally had closed-book, closed-notes quizzes andexams. After the switch to online learning, all 12 of the classes used a blend of synchronous andasynchronous lectures, videos, and office hours using Zoom, and just two classes remained in aclosed-book and/or closed-notes format for quizzes and exams.

responses relates to completing tasks in a timely manner. Within this program,students are given general timelines and assignment deadlines, but due to the unique nature oftheir projects, it is an expectation that groups will use autonomy in creating deadlines to ensurethe project is completed on time. This lack of a traditional classroom schedule may have been aninfluence on this prompt. Overall, this program employs a collaborative form of teaching andlearning; however, it cannot be assumed that this method is the sole reason for the shifts instudents’ self-efficacy, as the transdisciplinary nature and authentic learning environmentstudents are presented with may influence these shifts as well.
