for Peer Assessment AbstractPeer assessment means students giving feedback on each other’s work. Dozens of online systemshave been developed for peer assessment. All of them face similar issues. The PeerLogic projectis an effort to develop specialized features for peer-assessment systems so that they can be usedby multiple systems without the need for re-implementation. In addition, the project maintains a“data warehouse,” which includes anonymized peer reviews from different peer-assessmentsystems, which are freely made available to researchers.Keywords: peer assessment, PeerLogic, sentiment analysis, reputation algorithm, topicassignment1.

– morals and ethics.They are often used as being interchangeable but are not necessarily the same. This paper willreview the differences in morals and ethics, and then address the original question and the ethicalimplications it poses. The paper will also look at some of the ethics and standards of conduct inpractice today by some professional organizations such as the IEEE, ASME, ASEE, SME, SPE,and other forms that may represent doctors and lawyers view of ethics.IntroductionIn the use of the words morals or ethics, there is considerable contention – some will say they arethe same in terms of one being right or wrong, others will say that one has a personal meaning(morals), while the second has a societal meaning (ethics).

Following feedback fromour industry advisory board (IAB) members, as well as industry partners, a need was determinedto find a way to incorporate these topics into the curriculum with our already limited resources.Faculty members presented a solution by retrofitting several outdated robots, currently in ourpossession, with newer technologies. These 30+ year-old robots had been slated for disposal dueto age, but after some exploration, it was determined that they could be salvaged and updated.The project entailed reverse engineering motor driver circuits, developing new hardware

Transdisciplinary Engineering Design Process: Tracing Design Similarities through Comparison of Design Stages across Engineering DisciplinesIntroduction The integration of technology into contemporary product development practices hastransformed the engineering design process from disciplinary [1-3] to transdisciplinary. Thisintegration requires discipline experts to share technologies and knowledge beyond theirtraditional boundaries to design and create an artifact, thus resulting in a transdisciplinary designprocess. A transdisciplinary design process is a problem-solving activity that brings together,scientific knowledge and problem-solving techniques from multiple disciplines to solve acomplex problem [4].
