Student Engagement

Student engagement is the degree to which learners participate actively, think deeply, and connect emotionally with their education, making it central to meaningful learning and persistence. It develops through interaction with instructors, peers, and learning activities that require attention, collaboration, problem solving, and reflection rather than passive information intake. In engineering education, design projects, laboratory investigations, team-based challenges, and authentic industry problems can strengthen engagement by linking theoretical principles to practical decisions. Measuring participation, motivation, and learning behaviors helps educators refine instruction, support diverse learners, and prepare students for the communication, creativity, and systems thinking required in professional engineering practice.

Artificial Intelligence-Based System for Detecting Attention Levels in Students

0 Views •

Cited by 6 •

2023

This paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based system to automatically detect whether students are paying attention to the class or are distracted. This system is designed to help teachers maintain students' attention, optimize their lessons, and dynamically introduce modifications in order for them to be more engaging.

Measuring Engagement of Spectators of Social Digital Games

2021

We propose a methodology that enables measuring engagement of spectators in a social digital game combining physiological and self-reported data. As this digital game involves a group of freely moving people, the experience is filmed using a synchronizing technique that links physiological data with events in the game.

Student t Distribution

0 Views •

2025

The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval. The Student t distribution was developed by William S. Goset (1876–1937) of the...

Microsoft Excel: Student's t-Test

2025

Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis. To conduct a t-test in Excel, use the T.TEST function or the "Data Analysis...
