Among these were: reduced hours and longer vacations,increased wages, better benefit packages, profit sharing and better training, communications,planning and job participation. These efforts met with limited or even questionable success. Asurvey was conducted to determine what factors affected job satisfaction. The factors foundincluded: accomplishments of the employee, true (not contrived) recognition foraccomplishments, increased responsibility resulting from achievements, opportunity to grow inknowledge and task competence and the chance for advancement.What environment

One suchtype of assignments was to write a report for a manager, who is not familiar with OperationsResearch (OR), explaining the output of the Quant software on different OR problems. Studentswere not allowed to use the terms specific to the OR field. They had to explain the situation andprovide comments. Based on students’ feedback, this was an excellent exercise in criticalthinking, communication skills, and writing a report.A team project was assigned with the intention to improve students’ communication skills(teamwork, preparing professional report, and planning), as well as dealing with a more complexcase and applying software.Students were required to prepare a portfolio from the

In the spring semester, they take a second four-credit calculus course, a four-credit physics course (mechanics), and a second one-credit engineering course. The calculus, chemistry, and physics courses parallel those in the regular curriculum. The fall engineering course replaces the standard freshman

It should be noted that there is a certain‘formative’ nature to this study in which students were forced to consider the ethical nature of theuse of technology in general and of LLMs specifically. We believe that the survey itself may havehelped form student views of the use of technology in their class assignments.In the future, we plan to involve more students in the study. With a larger sample size, we will bebetter able to compare student perceptions by academic discipline. We also plan to submit aresearch protocol for a separate faculty survey, which will allow us to compare facultyperceptions and concerns with those of students.

Because the problem-solving approaches uncover beneficial outcomesneed the harmonic coordination of cognitive acts and metacognitive processes, which is notonly helpful but also essential [9]. Cognitive actions drive progress for problem-solving butalso lay the foundation for the metacognitive processes which create a web of metacognitiveactivities that closely complement cognitive actions, participants engage in thoughtfulobservation, planning, evaluation, and monitoring (M/E) [10].
