students to obtain correct spellings and precise definitions of domain-specific terms from lec- ture videos, given the limited lecture time, rarity of the terms, and possibly confusing pronunciations. To provide accurate speech-to-text transcription, and enable students to search for domain-specific terms and obtain term definitions in real-time, we de- signed, implemented, and evaluated the PhraseHinter tool, a text analytics pipeline that efficiently extracts domain-specific terms from engineering educational videos. The tool is lightweight and adaptable to online instruction platforms. In our approach, a series of key scenes are initially extracted from a lecture video using a novel scene detection algorithm. The algorithm employs

While autograders can provide feedbackto students quickly, students can become reliant on the autograder as the primary means fordetermining correctness of their code. In a similar spirit, instructors also frequently promotesubmitting early and not waiting until the last second. To encourage students to submit fewererroneous submissions and completing programming assignments earlier, we examine a policychange in lab submissions from time-restricted submissions to point-restricted submissions,implemented in consecutive semesters of a large Computer Architecture course. We surveystudents on their initial perception of the two policies, then survey students on their

engineering technology students, however, do nottypically get exposed to more in-depth courses of vibration and modal analysis. To assistmechanical engineering technology students into concepts of vibration and modal analysis in amanufacturing environment, FE modeling serves as an excellent learning tool. An FE model ofan extended long milling cutter enables students to visualize the properties of a vibrating systemand relate the natural frequencies back to spindle speed. Forced vibration models help themunderstand the resulting cutter displacements from the input force excitation. Modal analysis andforced vibration exposure help students understand the characteristics of vibration and how tomitigate this undesirable effect from traditional machining
