UndergraduateSTEM Education (IUSE). The goal of this three-year exploration is to determine if sucha system as the EMS can be built to collect this data in real time within the classroomand accurately capture behavioral and emotional engagements. Also to be explored is theintegration of disparate data types such as image data, heart rate, academic performance,etc., within an AI classification system. Final efforts on the project will include prelimi-nary evaluation of the ability to infer cognitive engagement from behavioral and emotionalengagements. As demonstrated in previous work, classifying emotions and behaviors is pos-sible to some extent, and psychological work has established the link between emotionaland behavioral engagement with cognitive

To teach students about risk assessment 2. To have students practice hazard identification and reporting of good safety practices, near misses, and incidents 3. To quantitatively benchmark the hazards and frequencies of events in the lab courses so targeted improvements can be made in the courses’ overall safety 4.

The Race/Ethnicitygreater trend, however, hasbeen that the White, non-Hispanics students are retained at a higher percentage than the Hispanicstudents.Conclusions and Future WorkThis work-in-progress project has shown that there are a few classes in the pre-constructioncurriculum that are most likely to cause issues with student progression (including Mathematicsand Chemistry). Further, the retention of transfer students was not a significant issue, perhapsbecause these students have already taken some of the courses with the highest DFW rates,although this theory is unconfirmed.

Starting in the Fall 2015 term, the Mechanical Engineering Departmentdeveloped a new Statics course exclusively for MEEN students, MEEN 225. This new course wasdesigned to better prepare students for subsequent MEEN curriculum. Topics covered are verysimilar, however MEEN 225 uses group projects in addition to homework and major exams forassessment. The students must also attend a 3-hour recitation every week in MEEN 225.Since the Fall 2015 semester when the divergence of the MEEN 221 and MEEN 225 coursesbegan, the department has seen a much higher percentages of students earn a grade of a D, an F,or Q-drop in MEEN 221 creating higher DFQ rates.

and have been used by students to copy homework solutions sothat faculty have changed how they assign, collect and grade homework.4 The use of Chegg tocomplete homework has encouraged departments to recommend relatively low weights tohomework5,6. Some students have a blurred idea of what is academic dishonesty, especially onhomework7. In many places, homework is not a substantial part of the grade so it is acceptable toreceive online help on homework.8 Some instructors avoid traditional homework and use projects toassess student learning, yet it appears the online tutors are available to not only solve problems butwrite papers and laboratory reports.

Two other survey items related toreading showed a decrease in agreement, but the difference between the end and beginning of thecourse was not significant (Figures 13 and 14). It may be that students found the course readingsmore difficult toward the end of the course; this material required synthesis and application ofprevious course concepts. Additionally, students may be busier toward the end of the semesterwith projects and exams in other courses which may compete for their study time.As shown in Figure 12, there was no significant change in how students responded to thefollowing item: “When studying for this course

The clayis saturated, meaning the void space is filled with water, and a reduction in the void volumerequires that water in the voids must be discharged from the voids and flow to another location.Soil consolidation models utilize principles from mathematics, solid mechanics, and fluidmechanics. Students learn these principles in trigonometry, calculus, differential equations,physics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.Consolidation results in a change in volume that is expressed, near the surface, as settlement(often of the structure that caused the increased stress).

Also, it is sometimes unclear what the instructor is looking for in certain sections of the report. Having three big projects worth a large percentage of the course grade due the week before finals is not an ideal situation.
