Returning to the Previous Room: The entity’s basic logic places it in the player’s previous location. If the player re-enters this room, the entity triggers immediately. This encourages the players to plan their movements carefully and avoid backtracking unnecessarily. ii. Accumulating Incorrect Answers: each incorrect answer to a minigame question adds a point to a counter. Once this counter reaches a certain threshold.

It was also beyond the scope of this study to correlate program requirements with FEcivil exam pass rates. This would require requesting each program to share multiple years oftheir NCEES FE Subject Matter Reports to draw meaningful conclusions. Programs,understandably, may not be willing to share these reports. As this paper is a work-in-progressand plans to look at more institutions’ program requirements, the author may be able to identifyenough programs willing to sharing their reports to start collecting these data.

different types of ADHDexperiences.8. Future Work and LimitationsA major limitation to this work was the small sample size used to generate an LDA model as anLDA model is more accurate with more data for training. While the ideal sample size for LDAmodeling can vary, previous literature suggest using a sample size of at least fifty withpreference for larger sample sizes for more accurate and stable results [73], [74]. We plan toaddress this limitation in our future work by using APIs to data mine social media platforms. Bydata mining social media posts, we will be able to gather large amounts of data to train our LDAmodel for more accuracy. Further, the LDA method alone analyzes words and does not considercontext or syntax of those words (e.g., the
