The GPT-4 model tended to identifymore basic relationships, while manual analysis identified more nuanced relationships.Our results do not currently support using GPT-4 to automatically generate graphicalrepresentations of faculty’s mental models of assessments. However, using a human-in-the-loopprocess could help offset GPT-4’s limitations. In this paper, we will discuss plans for our futurework to improve upon GPT-4’s current performance.IntroductionAssessments are found in every engineering classroom and are an important part of our educationsystem [1]-[3]. Assessments play many different roles, including understanding studentimprovements in learning [4], acting as a tool to assist students with learning [5], [6

locations. Steel structure design is one of the main approaches to thismission. Starting in the late 1800’s, steel became readily available for applications in large-scaleengineering structures. This triggered a tide of tall buildings, including the Home InsuranceBuilding in Chicago and the Manhattan Building in New York1. Steel frame buildings began torise all across the nation without any major changes in their connections or design for nearly acentury after the 1880’s. But after the structural failures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake,there was a fundamental rethinking in the design of seismic resistant steel moment connections.This led to the SAC Steel Project research funded by FEMA2.

The key point is thatengineering students should develop these skills while pursuing engineering curriculum.However, it is important that they should also have a belief (self-efficacy) that they can use theseskills under various circumstances7.Purpose of the StudyWe introduce an approach for measuring personal perception of students' self-efficacy inengineering modeling and design courses. An instrument is proposed that can be used byeducators in engineering modeling and design courses to assess student perception of self-efficacy. Bandura, A. , " Self-efficacy", In V. S.

539 Hardware and software development for cryogenic detector measurement L. Ralph, S. Garcia-Otero, E. SheybaniABSTRACTFor many years, a goal in detector development has been the realization of both high energy resolutionand high efficiency within the same detector. It has become apparent that to achieve this aim it will benecessary to operate the detector at very low temperatures, as close to 0° K as possible. Cryogenics is thestudy of the production of very low temperatures. It involves how to produce them, and how materialsbehave at those temperatures. Cryogenic particle detectors are radiation sensors that operate at very lowtemperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. The most

A highlyprecision voltage source, accurate electrical components including electronically embeddedcontact lens, and a sophisticated analyzing system such as precision current monitor will be usedin this study. The contact lens glucose sensing method introduced in this work can beminiaturized using current integrated circuit and semiconductor technology, and has the potentialto provide a low cost, fast, stable, and compact non-invasive glucose sensor for the diabeticpatients within near future.

Missing or inadequacy of addressing those criticalcomponents may result in negative evaluation by ABET program evaluators (PEV s). Therefore,it is important for any engineering program to adopt a proper capstone model to satisfy ABETprogram assessment requirements.In view of these contexts, this paper discusses the capstone model used by the engineeringprogram at the Southern Arkansas University (SAU).

nanomaterial sensor using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) todetermine the concentration and the rate of decomposition of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) inwater is performed. Results are presented for the sensor readings for dilute solutions ofammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in various concentrations. The participating students show a verygood correlation of concentration level with the output response of the QCM. The students alsofind that QCM is very sensitive to the scan rate of the voltage potential.Ammonium nitrate has long been used as a high nitrogen fertilizer in the agriculture industry. Inthe 1950’s it was discovered that ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil (ANFO) provided anexcellent explosive that could be used in the mining industry. Since ANFO
