To help fill this gap, academic libraries and other entities often offershort-format instruction on such topics, as well as in related topics, such as conducting literaturereviews, understanding the research lifecycle, and issues regarding scholarly publishing [2].Although commonly associated with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)disciplines, data analysis and related skills and knowledge have become an important componentof research in many academic fields, including humanities and social sciences [3]. If training inthese skills is not integrated into their program’s curriculum, students may be expected to learnsuch skills on their own [4

Nonlinearloads, such as the power supplies for electronic devices, introduce harmonic currents into the power system,which can cause failures in power system equipment as well as in other loads. Evidence of harmonic problemsinclude circuit breakers tripping when they shouldn’t or failing to trip when they should, overheated neutralconductors or transformers, erratic operation or tripping of adjustable speed drives, blown power factorcorrection capacitors, and communication interference. The problems are different, but their causes are related. Since every user of the power system contributes to the problem, I believe all electrical engineers andtechnicians need to have a basic understanding of power quality issues

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].
