However, at that time, there is noany schools in WV had used Lego Robots neither for college curriculum nor for k-12 offcurriculum activities. With the help from Prof. Tom Minnich, who was the department chair at that time, Dr.Cao decided to bring the Lego Robots in his class and assigned a group of students using it as aproject for microprocessor class in fall 2000. The project was a great success, all the students andDr. Cao believed that Lego Robots was a powerful mechanism for promoting MSET for k-12kids. And students

Therefore, I also mentored and advisedstudents on academic scheduling, academic and career goal setting, summer opportunities,research, and service. Further, I have developed research projects that allow students toparticipate and get involved with mathematical modeling and coding test problems in Matlab.

There are a lot of different things that could be defined as objectives for a course. They could vary a great deal but also could be applicable for different settings. For instance, a course could be directed mainly to provide (current, updated) information. A different focus would be to have as a main goal the development of very specific capabilities, not to acquire contents. Another possibility is to have a project- based class which goal was to learn teamwork and leadership skills

After the encoding was done all our data was split by sentences and thenthey were fed into a Distil Bert masked language model. The word piece tokenizer for this modelwas trained using a vocabulary list of 35,000 words.
