Her work in- cludes published articles and client technical reports as President of Cobblestone Applied Research & Evaluation, Inc. and a faculty member at Claremont Graduate University (CGU). Work at Cobblestone focuses on advancing the numbers of underrepresented minority students in Science, Technology, Engi- neering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Dr. Eddy has conducted evaluation or applied research studies on numerous university projects including clients programs funded by the
, the problem-solving techniques that are learned in one context can be generalized and applied to other contexts. Instructors can draw parallels between different types of problems and show how the problem-solving techniques can be applicable beyond a single class. This can be useful for those students who have less work experience as well as those who see their engineering degree as part of a career Page 24.1118.14 pathway into management, law, or other fields.VI. ConclusionThe students in this study were able to successfully connect the class with their co-op workassignments and other authentic experiences
, the phrase‘current scenario’ in F6 could either mean a sudden change in the traffic condition aroundthe vehicle not yet detected by the FM traffic alert service, or a mechanical problem with thevehicle itself. Students need to be trained to identify and resolve such conflicts in an indepen-dent manner to be successful not only during their initial Software Engineering careers butalso throughout their professional lives. To that end, we designed this learning activity as anincremental, semester-long practice assignment.After clarifying different aspects of the application domain through a few initial meetingswith the clients, the students were given a lab assignment to create domain dictionaries12for the system.

haspreviously used, it is important to evaluate its effectiveness. To do this, the department initiallyplanned to enlist the aid of external evaluators to conduct a formal assessment. Howeveranticipated funding to support this effort did not materialize, so a rigorous evaluation has not yetbeen performed. Additionally, the desire to draw any clear conclusions regarding itseffectiveness is also hampered by the small sample size. To date, only four cohorts – a total of84 students including those who are currently enrolled – have taken this class. And since thestudents from the first cohort have yet to graduate, the full impact of this pedagogy on theiracademic careers is just now being assessed.

Exit Surveys: The goal of the survey is to determine the impact of hands-on learning asstudents reflect on their academic experiences. Student input also reveals the expected value ofthese experiences in their professional careers as they have, typically, completed their job searchand have an understanding of the knowledge and skill sets that will employ in the near future.4.0 ComparisonThe three models of implementation of the hands-on activities can be compared against severalcriteria as shown in the table below. The model described in Section 2.1, Small In-ClassActivities in Lecture-Based Courses, is abbreviated as “Small In-Class Labs.” The modeldescribed in Section 2.2, Student-Owned Equipment in Lab Courses, is abbreviated as“Ubiquitous

Overall, RU students preferred the second casestudy undertaken in the course, the Chick-fil-A case study.

Because I can see this situation working out in a future career/company situation.One student described the Chick-fil-A case study as “useful” in spite of a few perceiveddrawbacks.

Mathematicians and Scientists Teaching Engineering Courses: Practices, Advantages, and ConcernsAbstract:Engineering is highly intertwined with science and mathematics. The connection between thethree fields of engineering; and mathematics and science is illustrated based on the commonlyknown and ABET definitions of mathematics and science with those of engineering. Anevidence of this connectivity lies in STEM which is a recent field that has been highly visible inthe last twenty years. It stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Studentshave been noticeably swayed away from these crossing disciplines for various reasons. STEMwas partially created to attract students back to these careers again.Discussions are

The abortion ban, the affirmative action ban, I think that has a double hit on people like me who are Black and Brown and also female.

The analysis of article frequency from 2013-2023 uncovers a rising research interest andincreased investment in AR applications within the field. The state-of-the-art assessmentprovides valuable insights into current practices and innovations, showcasing the diverse ways ofusing AR to

Interleaved practice has beendemonstrated to improve student learning and retention of technical skills, though the literatureon this practice is smaller than others [5].Interleaved practice involves practicing already-learned material along with newly learnedmaterial. When all homework or quiz problems are bunched together, students expect that everyproblem must be a variant of the skill they are practicing. However, when homework or quizproblems draw from mixed material, students practice thinking through which solution methodsto use and how to apply what they know [5], [11]. Dunlosky et al. cites trials from Rohrer andTaylor (2007, 2010) that compared student performance during
