Finally, after creating a welcomingclassroom environment, if faculty members desire to enhance international students' experienceand their ability to thrive, there must be intentional relationship building to help the studentsbecome more comfortable asking for help when needed.LimitationsThis study utilized a limited sample size in a non-randomized survey; hence, the findings maynot be generalized.References 1.

utilized to tackle thisever-growing issue due to its ability learn and classify complex data. AI can be described as twomain subfields: machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). ML leverages labeled data tobuild models for predicting labels on unlabeled data. DL relies on extensive unlabeled datasets touncover underlying patterns within the dataset. On the other hand, knowledge-based modelingand simulation (M&S) techniques utilize known models to generate data for the analysis of newand existing designs. M&S works well for simple systems but becomes increasingly difficult formore complex systems. The difficulty comes from the uncertainties associated with each addedvariable being modeled. To bridge the gap between AI and M&S, the

Team work – Many of the CE students received coursework help from other students and general support from friends and family.Pervasive sports analogies may be annoying, but perhaps students absorb these models [25].

carry significantly more information but limited in distance to a fewhundred meters. Acoustic communication is the most versatile and widely used technique inunderwater environments due to the low attenuation (signal reduction) of sound in water.This is especially true in thermally stable, deep water settings. On the other hand, the use ofacoustic waves in shallow water can be adversely affected by temperature gradients, surfaceambient noise, and multipath propagation due to reflection and refraction. The much slower speed of acoustic propagation in water, about 1500 m/s (meters per second),compared with that of electromagnetic and optical waves is another limiting factor for efficientcommunication and networking [1].

Thus, a score can provide a basic measure of temporal game state. FromSection 2, G(t) represents an abstract measure of temporal game state—state is an arbitrary representationof G’s components (Equation 1) at a specific time t.

253 600Students were asked to self-report their GPA. GPA was based on a scale of 4, with an “A” being a4.00, a “B” being a 3.00, a “C” being a 2.00, a “D” being a 1.00, and an “S” being a 0.00. Someclasses also used a “+” or “–” system. A “+” adds 0.33 to the base grade, while a “-” subtracts0.33. For example, a “B+” would quantitatively be a 3.33 (3.00 + 0.33), while a “B-” would be a2.77 (3.00 - 0.33).Data was gathered on students’ expected majors. Out of a total of 600 students, 311 (51.8%) weremechanical and/or aerospace engineering students, 114 (19.0%) were civil and/or environmentalengineering students, 102 (17.0%) were biomedical engineering students and 73 (12.2%) studentshad other majors.
