limitation is mostlikely due to the FPGA’s ability to connect two ALMs during the routing process, where a wirewith a width larger than 1120 cannot be connected between two ALMs. The data we report onlygoes up to a maximum bit-width of 1024, so this limitation is not reflected in our graphs. Also,the Goldschmidt divider has a smaller range than the other dividers because it was not able tosynthesize above a width of 244. This is due to the limited number of DSP blocks.4.1 AreaThe FPGA used in these tests is the 5CGXFC9E7F35C8 from the Cyclone V line. This FPGA ischosen due to its large amount of available ALMs and DSP blocks. The maximum ALMs that ourFPGA has in this study is 113,560.

This may reflect cultural differences inlearning styles, or the value placed on group harmony and collective effort. Additionally,Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Industrial Engineering (IE) students showed lowercollaborative learning beliefs compared to their counterparts in Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE). These findings suggest that there may be disciplinary differences in thevalue and integration of collaborative learning in different degree programs.Turning to other

To assess students’learning styles, this study used the Visual, Aural, Read/Write, or Kinesthetic (VARK) learningstyles inventory which is a questionnaire consists of 16 items used to assess the respondent’slearning style [21]. The study also used the Dixion scale to measure students’ engagement usingthe adaptive or non-adaptive e-learning system; this scale includes the factors of skills,participation/interaction, performance, and emotion [21]. This study found that students wholearned through the adaptive system learned more, reflected by their engagement scale responsesand overall course outcomes.

Through thisexperiment, students gained practical skills in experimental design, data analysis,and interpretation, fostering a deeper understanding of biomaterials beyondtheoretical concepts. The inclusion of ethical considerations in the biomaterialcurriculum was addressed through a debate. This encouraged students to reflect onthe societal implications of biomaterials research, fostering a sense of responsibilityand ethical awareness among future practitioners.The study employed both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods,including pre- and post

Harris and Blanck certainly, and with no apparentmoral qualms, engaged in worker exploitation, as did U.S. Steel. Our own times are marked bythe emergence of the “uber-rich,” such as Elon Musk (net worth: $264 billion) and Jeff Bezos(net worth: $152 billion) [72].

adjustment. Broadly speaking, students’ college success depends on two factors, i.e., students’background and their preparation at entry level, and university factors. Different types of university programstend to in take students who are different at the beginning level. The successes of the university programs maynot necessary reflect the differential impact of these programs, but simply the differences in the characteristicsof the entering students in these different programs. Therefore, if a study is to exam the success of a universityprogram, then students’ entry factors need to be partialed out as covariates.
