literacy is commonly referenced as an increasingly important 21st century skillneeded in today's knowledge-based economy. ABET’s criterion 3.i declares that students have“a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” Shuman,Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty1 propose several attributes of lifelong learning, including“follow a learning plan; identify, retrieve, and organize information; understand and remembernew information; demonstrate critical thinking skills; and reflect on one’s own understanding.”These criteria align well with the core concepts of information literacy. Information literacy ismost popularly defined by the American Library Association as set of skills that enables theability to recognize the need

There is evidence that educational interventions that “encourageexperiential learning, reflection, group work, active learning, and decision-making are generallymore effective in promoting moral judgment than those that use more traditional pedagogies”(see p. 404-405 in[10]). Co-curricular interventions can also be effective in developing moraljudgment [10]. The research reported in this paper aimed to verify the underlying assumption of strong gains atthe home liberal arts institution (Doane University). The gross indicator of institutional typemay need to be more accurate, as these colleges range from highly-selective elite institutions

However, this balance is not reflected in engineering majors,in which only 27% of students identify as women, and 16% of students are fromhistorically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. UMD is working to overcomethe disparity in our ability to attract underrepresented students from our localcommunities. A 2021 review by the Washington Post ranked UMD 6th among stateflagship institutions in terms of the gap between the percentage of black high schoolgraduates in the state and undergraduate enrollment.

The transmission loss or information loss in underwater wireless communication isaccompanied by various physical and technical factors which we discussed in an introduction.Besides being channel noisy, underwater wireless communication is affected by surface duct,surface reflection, sound propagation characteristics, bottom bounce etc. Information loss is induced by passing signals via a noisy channel. In our work, conditionalentropy is used to quantify the information loss induced by passing pseudorandom sequencesthrough an underwater channel system. Information loss can mostly be expressed as thedifference of mutual information. The information loss

This capability ensures that assessments can be customized to accurately reflect thelearning stages of students, making them more effective across both introductory and advanced courses.Additionally, AI-generated quizzes can be tailored to focus on specific topics by refining the prompts toemphasize particular learning objectives. This allows educators to align assessments directly with thegoals of their courses, whether it’s to reinforce core principles in a subject or to delve deeper intospecialized areas. For instance, a

For example, popular K-12 engineering activities like designinga tower to hold weight or building a roller coaster to meet criteria are often repeated acrosselementary, middle, and high school grades without clear learning progressions [5]. Whileengaging, such building projects generally promote a tinkering approach to develop a workingprototype [6], [7], [8] that does not reflect the work of expert engineers [9], [10].

One of the consequences of our currently low N is that weare not yet able to break down results by ethnicity, gender identity, or other important identity andbackground variables. However, while it’s true that our N is small (both overall and incomparison with Jensen and Cross), our results do show the strong potential impact ofproject-based engineering programs.
