Figure 1: Different races vs (a) fraction of APMA courses taken for CR/GC/NC (b) overall GPA.For the Spring 20 semester data, we also used k-Nearest Neighbor clustering, to predict whether students,who have taken at least 1 course from APMA, would choose at least one CR/NC (not necessarily APMA).The accuracy of our k-NN model is 76% despite our low sample size. This model includes all answersto survey questions and demographic and it is less interpretable.Section 2: Analysis of Majors of Survey ParticipantsWe specifically asked the students 1) if they faced problems due to the pandemic that made workingtowards their degrees difficult, 2) if they opted for CR/GC/NC because they were

) Scanning the area and (b) an example of a processed virtual model.Selecting Energy Audit Measures to Evaluate: To conduct energy audits of buildings, there aremany energy-consuming systems that energy auditors need to be aware of, understand how theyoperate, and be able to identify energy, cost, or emissions savings for. For this research, threemain energy-consuming systems are selected. These include lightning, plug loads (smallappliances plugged into wall outlets), and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC).These topics were chosen because these are three of the energy-consuming systems for whichenergy recommendations are most frequently recommended throughout the history of energyaudits within the IAC program [31].

Assignments and assessments are provided and students earn points onthese which add up to give them a particular grade in the course based on the 0 – 100% gradingscale. Earn 90% of the points and an A is earned, 80% for a B, 70% for a C, 60% for a D, andbelow 60% designates failure of the course. Due dates are firm and there are not retakes onassessments. If students missed a particular day or deadline, they would receive a zero.

The unique intersection points in the stable region, from here on referred to as the stablepoint, is utilized for measurements. The stable point provides current, voltage, power input, andspeed in rpm. From these

A recent systematic review ofITS learner characteristic evaluation criteria found that most literature examined (a) knowledgelevel, (b) learning performance, and (c) behavior in the learning path [23]. Learner performancealone, and learner performance plus experience, were most frequently used to evaluate the ITS[23]. A meta-analysis of ITS effectiveness criteria also used performance comparison as a commonoutcome indicator while also considering the quality of instruction [3]. A summary of fourteen ITSevaluation frameworks illustrated that, while a mix of objective and subjective metrics was usedto evaluate ITS, system functionality or effectiveness and learning improvement or knowledgeacquisition were
