The relatively low retention rates of learners have an implication that learners might disengage in a MOOC course. Engagement and motivation always go hand in hand. The elaborate design of strategies to trigger and retain learners' motivation is helpful to increase the rates of course completion. To address this, we applied content analysis method to analyze the micro lecture videos of six courses...
Co-clustering is a promising technique for summarizing cooccurrence information such as purchase history transactions and document-keyword frequencies. A close connection between fuzzy c-means (FCM) and Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) have been discussed and several extended FCM algorithms, which are induced by the GMMs concept, were proposed. Multinomial mixture models (MMMs) is a probabilistic model...
As personalization technologies are widely used, preference extraction is becoming important. In this work, we propose a preference extraction method on the basis of applications that are installed on a user's smart device. In this method, keywords are extracted from descriptions of the installed applications on an application market. Then, each keyword is scored by three scoring criteria: degree...
There have been numerous studies involving research and development, for detecting falls exhibited by the elderly. Considering that the prevention of a falling elderly is much more complex to address and estimate, very little research has been done. In fact research is often strictly limited resourceful medical organizations that have specialized clinical tools. Human locomotion, particularly “Walking”...
The audience will discuss the current state of the effort to update the 2004 document titled "Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Engineering," also known as CE2004. The presenters represent the ACM and the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS), which are leading the effort. They will engage participants on ways of improving the body of knowledge so that the document...
Engineering students need complex skills to be effective in college and post-graduate employment. Beyond technical skills, the ability to integrate varied types of information is essential for competence in applying engineered solutions to real-life situations. While research shows that project-based learning favorably affects engineering student success and retention as well as recruitment of diverse...
This report presents the results of the research, study and formation of the array of archival documents as a base for the biography of academician Guriy Ivanovich Marchuk, a distinguished Russian scientist and organizer of science.
The main goal of a new publication is to place on historical Rafael Yusupov, Mikhail Vous record the contribution of St Petersburg organizations, research schools, scholars and specialists in developing informatics and cybernetics.
Recurring themes in the literature on students' experiences of their first year in college education include performance and retention, socialisation, learning and teaching methods, interaction with staff and the student's history prior to college. Methods used to collect and analyse data vary considerably and reflect differences among researchers in the philosophical positions underpinning these...
Engineering and Computer Science (E&CS) Education is an emerging discipline with a brief history and the unfortunate particularity that many folks outside our discipline are confused as to our purpose. In this special session, we will use two case studies to frame the larger questions around E&CS Education goals and help draw the conversation from practice to philosophy while creating a safe...
In an effort to generate and retain student interest in STEM fields, this work focused on providing middle school teachers with resources to engage students using hands-on activities and demonstrations directly related to the state science standards. The project involved generating a library of content for 8th grade physical science standards. The demonstrations and activities were specifically selected...
The annual ASEE/IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference is now in its 44th year. From its earliest days, FIE has aimed to enhance engineering education through the latest advances in learning theory, pedagogy, and technology. We have also engaged in periodic reflection and self-examination to assess how well we have met the challenges of keeping up with advances in other fields and incorporating technological...
This paper presents the design, implementation, and reflections of students and faculty of an innovative integrated course (taught in Spring 2012) that combined seemingly disparate topics from engineering and the humanities. The primary goal of the course was to promote the growth of intrinsically motivated students who internalize the value of their technical work, connect their technical work to...
With the rise of computational social science, analyzing sociological problems using computational methods has attracted widespread attention. In recent years, sentiment analysis has become a research hotspot in computational social science. But existing researches concentrate on modern text, such as product reviews and microblogging, and hardly involve the analysis of ancient literature. In this...
The paper dwells on the national practices of applying the methods typical of exact sciences -- mathematics and computer science -- to humanities such as historical studies, source studies, museology, archive science and librarianship, insofar as the collection of artifacts and the historical, scholarly and cultural heritage are concerned. The methodological foundation of this interaction is interdisciplinarity.
Presents a number of aspects of the history of electronic computers in Kazan in the second half of the twentieth veka.Na based developer of computer memories Kazan discusses organization design departments, building and testing models of cars of different generations, mission-critical projects that had defense implications. Attention is paid to the specific characteristics of memories as a source,...
