AC 2010-579: PRISM: A SIMPLE SIMULATION FOR INTRODUCTION OFASSEMBLY LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER ARCHITECTUREBrian Peterson, United States Air Force AcademyAnne Clark, USAF Academy, CO Page 15.980.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 PRISM: A Simple Simulation for Introduction of Assembly Language and Computer ArchitectureAbstractOne of the enduring problems in introducing computer architecture and assemblylanguage to students is most systems are so complex that the students quickly lose sightof how the subsystems interrelate. To effectively teach how a system processes andexecutes instructions, most students must program in assembly language and
concepts and to other learning contexts where software is integratedwith offline learning. Practical considerations are discussed such as how the author deals withdifferent software versions and monitor/font sizes varying among student laptops, his officecomputer, and the computers used in the teaching lab. The paper concludes with a remainingchallenge for which the author has not yet found a good approach.IntroductionDuring their junior or senior year, Clarkson University students majoring in Engineering andManagement take a course in operations research.

Lecture-based engagement,which encompasses student attentiveness, participation, and cognitive involvement, is stronglylinked to academic performance and long-term retention in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields. LE data, typically gathered through self-reports, provides insightsinto students’ perceptions and emotions within educational settings [10]. However, the subjectivenature of self-reported data and its temporal variability introduce challenges in accuratelycapturing engagement dynamics, necessitating advanced NLP and time-series forecastingtechniques [6]. While Transformer-based models have shown promise in time-series analysis[11

This tool thus has made research process much more efficient, accurate,and productive.IntroductionThe primary objective of presented work was to develop a speech recognition engine - analysisand testing environment in MATLAB. The problem encountered when working with speechrecognition projects is the fact that the processed data comes in the form of a large collection ofvectors (e.g., matrix) that typically represent energies of a speech sounds at various frequencybands [1]. Developed testing utility is extremely useful because it provides visual representationof various complex parameters represented as patters, vectors or scalars extracted from time-dependent speech signal. In addition, there are

Conversation?IntroductionOver the course of the past decade, the academic community has increasingly recognized themental health challenges faced by graduate students as a pivotal area of concern (Evans, et al.,2018; Nature, 2019). This recognition is in response to findings that suggest graduate students,especially those in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines, are at ahigher risk for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress (Bork & Mondisa, 2022;Diezel, et al., 2013; Nagy, et al., (2019) Saravanan & Wilks, 2014). Findings from Bork andMondisa's (2022) recent scoping literature review attribute this heightened risk, in part, to theunique pressures and stressors inherent to the academic and research
