many seconds) does it become possible to determine if a student will struggle. Asimple neural network is proposed which is used to jointly classify body language and predicttask performance. By modeling the input as both instances and sequences, a peak F Score of0.459 was obtained, after observing a student for just two seconds. Finally, an unsupervisedmethod yielded a model which could determine if a student would struggle after just 1 secondwith 59.9% accuracy.1 IntroductionIn this work, the role of machine learning for planning student intervention is investigated.Specifically, t his w ork a sks t wo q uestions: ( i) C an a s tudent’s s truggles b e p redicted basedon body language?

UniversitiesWIP: Implementation and Assessment of ProjectAbstract: This paper documents the effects of an additive manufacturing course on two sets ofstudents: (1) the undergraduates who took the course and (2) the middle and high school studentswho visited our labs. At the time of the conference, nine semesters of data (three years at threeschools) will have been collected, as well as data from the middle and high school students whovisited our labs. Overall, our research questions were: (1) what is the effect of this course on thecontent knowledge of (a) enrolled undergraduates and (b) middle and high school students? And(2) what is the effect of this course on the attitudes towards engineering and self-efficacy inengineering for (a) enrolled

(a)In the second step, some of the active segments in thetopology are replaced (“populated”) by generic circuitelements (represented as boxes), as shown in Fig.1(b). The number so replaced in this “populatedtopology” is the desired number of nontrivial circuitelements in the circuit (i.e., branches in theterminology of network theory). The genericelements are all later replaced by specific circuit (b)elements, but shorts that remain will stay as shorts.The number of possibilities is now only the numberof active segments raised to the power of two, andthus still

This activity is designed to strengthen students’ knowledge through practical applicationof concepts studied during the first quarter of Statics, such as position, unit vectors, free bodydiagrams, and equilibrium of particles.The schematic in Figure 2(b) depicts a 3D rendering of the sample problem with dimensions.The students are tasked with determining a unit vector along the line of action of one of thecords. The potential solutions are chosen such that the answer can be surmised based on somebasic concepts: (1) unit vectors are of a unit length (i.e. u x2 + u y2 + u z2 = 1 ), (2) the positiveorientation of axes changes the sign of vector components, and (3) cords apply force in tension

]. In this way, the materials designers work with—as well asthose we offer learners—might be (a) unalterable; (b) used functionally but unchanged; or (c)modified dramatically in use [9]. This post-humanist stance brings attentions to the relationshipsbetween humans and non-human artifacts [10]. This approach decenters humans inforegrounding the agency imbued in materials by their creation and form [11, 12]. Decenteringhumans may seem a strange approach to take, especially in a study that aims to understandhuman learning. This decentering is intentional and in service of developing keener focus oninteractional relationships themselves, not just between humans as is common in such studies,but also between materials (or other nonhumans) and

Inthe RTL layer, the circuits are assembled to form a larger module. In the processor layer, themodule is augmented with additional decoding circuit and buffering registers to interface withthe system bus and to communicate with the processor. The three layers and their correspondingparts are depicted in Figure 1(b). In the OS layer, the software driver routines are derived toaccess the core. There are two basic architectures.

Mentors work with students to help shape andidentify project goals and to offer guidance and support in the students’ execution of the project.While not a requirement by any means, students are encouraged to choose projects that aremeaningful to them and that serve a purpose in their communities. It is probably not surprisingthen that projects have often involved utilizing renewable energy like the solar boat projects,building autonomous robots meant to disinfect a room, and utilizing sensors to gauge airpollution (Figure 1).

%graduated with at least a B- GPA, compared with 86% of the comparison students, and 97% ofthe non-comparison, non-RESP students. A chi-square test approached significance in favor ofmore B- and above GPAs among RESP students than the comparison students. Overall, wefound that high school preparation predicted STEM students’ graduation GPAs. Further,although RESP participation did not predict the cumulative GPAs of STEM majors, the programmay: 1) improve STEM degree persistence and 2) ensure that more of the program’s STEMgraduates achieve at least a B- cumulative graduation GPA. The number of RESP andcomparison students is relatively small, yet these findings nevertheless offer preliminaryevidence that the intervention may be effective at improving

These students tend to struggle incollege and their retention in engineering is low (less than 40% retention rate).The goals of the study are to: a) identify areas of weaknesses in students’ critical thinking skills,and b) evaluate the relationship between critical thinking scores and students’ cumulative gradepoint average (cGPA). Specifically, our interest is to determine if students with high criticalthinking scores perform better in their first semester in college. This study answers the question:Are critical thinking skills a predictor of students’ success in their first semester in college
