According to a meta-study performed byKarabulut-Ilgu interest in the technique was first observed the early 2000’s and, beginning around 2011,academic interest has grown rapidly, evidenced in both conference proceedings and journal publications[5]. Several substantial meta-studies have been published in the past few years attempting to distill theresults of this near decade of study [4-6]. While a distillation of relevant aspects of these studies
can vary by regions because of their proximity togeographic locations close to AI sectors (e.g. Pittsburgh or Silicon Valley) that have a highimpact on the communities/culture. Therefore, there is a necessity to expand this study with alarger population of participants from various ethnic backgrounds, professions and regions.AcknowledgmentThis research is funded by the National Science Foundation NSF DUE #1941782.

faculty who attend an OTNworkshop and write a review ultimately intend to adopt an OER for their course(s) [15].Much of the discussion of OER use in STEM disciplines focuses on the implementation of OERin high enrollment introductory courses [16]. Hendricks et al. utilized the Physics 100 course intheir study because it is a large enrollment, introductory course, and they were already revisingthe course and reorganizing course learning materials [6]. At the University of California Davis,ChemWiki was piloted as a replacement for a traditional textbook in one general chemistrycourse. Researchers found that students in the pilot section had comparable overall performancewith students in the control section and self-reported spending more time

showed very positive agreement that the content and skillsfrom the TWC were applied and developed at the internship, and that they were able to return toclassroom with enhanced communication skills and knowledge. Considering these factors, it iseasily concluded that students are making the important connection between their TWC coursematerials and their necessity in the engineering field.Questions 4 and 5’s relatively high scores indicate that students are attributing educational valueto their internship experiences. Students are gaining a motivation for deeper engagement withtheir TWC course as they see a direct application of content in their internships. Moreover,students are gaining a better understanding of the professional skill set of
electricalengineering programs offer concentration in mechatronics. There are several approaches toimplementing these programs and concentrations and because Mechatronics is relatively youngdiscipline, introduced in the 1980’s, there are no established model or best approaches. Thus,mechatronics programs depend on the context and the department where they are hosted. Theauthor’s approach was to evaluate the context and resources available and design a mechatronicsprogram by starting with an appropriate pilot course.!The author, has recently joined the electrical engineering program at Merrimack College, aprimarily undergraduate college in Massachusetts. One of his objectives was to design anappropriate mechatronics program or concentration, and also consider a

, causality binds together reasoning processes that are commonto all STEM disciplines, including making predictions, drawing implications, making inferences,and articulating explanations.PredictionsReasoning from a description of a condition or set of conditions or states of an event to thepossible effect(s) that may result from those states is called prediction. Prediction assumes amore or less probabilistic relationship between causal antecedent(s) and effect(s) because apotentially large number of causal relationships can participate in the occurrence of the effect.The two primary functions of prediction are forecasting an event (e.g., economic ormeteorological forecasting) and testing of hypotheses to confirm or refute scientific

The sensor is deployed onthis tap between the external firewall and the internal network such that it can monitor all thetraffic that enters (and departs) over that connection. This allows the sensor to examine all of thedata associated with the external link so that it can be effectively used to monitor incoming (andoutgoing) attacks.
