Graduate-level research communication course: Reflections on the first offering

In Fall 2022, I offered a new course on research communication within the Graduate Program in Acoustics at Penn State. With 8 students from Acoustics and Biomedical Engineering, the course was split into three modules of grant writing, paper writing, and outreach. I found the students were reasonably adept at critically reading single papers. They also generally understood the mechanics of writing sentences, although combining sentences into paragraphs, connecting ideas, reducing fluff, and adding emphasis to key points were areas that significantly improved throughout the semester. In the middle of the course, two mock grant review panels were held, which highlighted a need to help students develop strategies to cope with critical feedback. Thus, for the final project, students had the option to either write a journal paper draft or revise their proposal; they also presented orally on their final project. Additionally, communicating with the public and developing outreach activities were included in the course, which culminated in an Acoustics Day at a science center. Overall, I found identifying gaps in the literature using multiple sources and developing a cogent argument on how their proposed work would fill the gap needed the most improvement.

The design of carbon monoxide gas control systems in rooms based on IoT

The increasing use of air-conditioned rooms in public entertainment venues but allowing visitors to smoke indoors makes some visitors feel uncomfortable. This final project aims to be able to design a carbon monoxide gas control device and carbon monoxide gas monitoring using IoT technology. The methodology for making this tool involves literature study methods in national journals and internet searches regarding projects that have been made before. Then identify problems in the field so that improvements can be made in tool design. In this tool, air content readings use the MQ-135 sensor to detect gas levels. Control uses the Ardiono Uno microcontroller as the data processing center, the ESP 8266 nodeMCU as the data sender to the application. From several experiments it was concluded that the tool operated as expected. It can be seen from the experimental data that the MQ-135 sensor works accurately in detecting the air quality levels in the room. It starts when the sensor detects air levels and then the reading results become input to start activating the relay for on/off the exhaust fan and also perfume, which will be active to neutralize the air in the room. The buzzer will activate when the reading value reaches the programmed gas level. The sensor reading value that is read will then appear on the LCD and also on the Blynk application.

Prototype Development of Final Year Project Management System to Monitor Student’s Performance

The university requires students to complete a comprehensive software development project in their final year of study in all Information Technology (IT) and Computer Science (CS) programmes, run by the Faculty of Computing & Multimedia (FCOM), Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia. As the number of students increases by semester, manual procedures for managing student projects become a major issue. Ineffective supervision and monitoring of student progress are more likely to occur as the number of students to supervise per lecturer also increase. This circumstance may contribute to an increase in the number of students who will fail to complete project development within the time frame specified. A log book is currently used to document meetings and discussions between supervisors and students. Although a detailed schedule has been proposed, a monitoring process that triggers specific actions to ensure all deadlines are met is required. The objective of this research is to improve project monitoring and supervision by developing a prototype of a web-based Final Year Project Management System (FYPMS). The initial prototype is built on the dashboard approach concept, where students can see their progress and lecturers can use this centralized system to monitor students' performance. This system’s users are divided into three groups: students, lecturers, and coordinators where they can communicate efficiently and effectively by using this system. By using the FYPMS, the faculty can look forward to better project management, improved supervision, fewer project delays, and a more efficient final year project process.

Teachers as creative agents: How self-beliefs and self-regulation drive teachers’ creative activity

Across two studies, we explore how teachers’ creative self-beliefs and self-regulation drive their creativity when faced with complex projects. In Study 1, 173 teachers reported on the most creative project they carried out last year and provided data on their creative self-beliefs (confidence and centrality of creativity) and self-regulation when pursuing projects. Creative self-beliefs were positively associated with the likelihood of obtaining more creative outcomes, both directly and indirectly, by strengthening teachers’ self-regulation. Moreover, highly innovative projects were unlikely if teachers’ beliefs and self-regulation were low. A latent profile analysis demonstrated three different approaches to carrying out and managing creative projects, resulting in varying levels of creativity in the final projects. These findings were extended and elaborated in a mixed-method Study 2, involving 16 teachers who participated in an intensive 10-week, microlongitudinal diary study and in-depth interviews. This study demonstrated that creative self-regulation allowed the teachers to plan and monitor their actions more effectively, resulting in more creative products. We discuss the role of self-beliefs and self-regulation in teachers’ creative agency and recommend future studies and practical interventions.

The multimodal component is accompanied by a series of writing, research, and communication assignments that are scaffolded to guide students through the iterative process of composing. As students explore alternative formats to make a persuasive argument, they gain a more nuanced understanding of their topic, hone critical thinking skills, and practice addressing different audiences. The final project includes a research paper and a formal project proposal. The author argues in favor of the affordances of game-based pedagogies in a writing and technical communication classroom.

TOWARDS AUTOMATIC DEFECTS ANALYSES FOR 3D STRUCTURAL MONITORING OF HISTORIC TIMBER

Abstract. Stability of historic wooden constructions is changing with time and should be inspected appropriately for risk assessment and prevention. The stability or strength values of built-in historic timber are difficult or even impossible to be derived without invasive investigation, but this is particularly problematic for the monitoring of heritage objects. Luckily there are some visible timber surface features, like knots and cracks, which can act as individual evidence to estimate the wood strength as well as to adjust its grade class indicator. In the final project, we aim to compare different approaches for 3D digital documentation of historic wood timbers and focus on automatic knot detection using AI techniques. A first feasibility study reported here provides a scientific baseline for the development of an automated method to analyse historic timber stability using 3D surveying and recognised surface features. First results about texture and resolution properties are discussed here.

Examining the Effectiveness of Teaching Strategies for Alleviating EFL Students’ Writing Anxiety: A Mixed-Method Study

At higher education, students at the end of the study are required to write a final project. Writing English papers is challenging and might create writing anxiety. Therefore, it is necessary to look at what strategies are used by the teachers and their effect on anxiety levels and performance. Furthermore, it is also crucial to accommodate students’ perceptions of the strategies so that students’ voices provide valid information on how the classroom should be. This research uses a mixed-method methodology to analyze lecturers' anxiety-reduction strategies and students' perceptions of them. Three instruments were used to collect data, namely a Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI), open-ended questions about the perception, and students’ writing scores. A paired sample t-test was used to compare students' writing anxiety and performance before and after treatment. Content analysis was used to assess student opinions of the strategies. The statistics showed that students' writing anxiety fell from high (71.35) to moderate (66.47). Meanwhile, students' writing grade rises from 72.00 to 79.03. SPSS analysis showed that anxiety-reducing strategies significantly affect writing anxiety and student performance (p = 0.000). Consequently, this study's findings should be beneficial in writing classes.

Enhancing Conclusion Sections in Final Year Project Presentations: An Engineering Perspective

The Final Year Project Presentation or FYPP is an essential academic oral presentation for tertiary students across various university courses and fields. Despite its importance, there exists a notable lack of comprehensive understanding about the genre, particularly about the conclusion section. This study aimed to investigate engineering students' perception of the good characteristics of the conclusion section in FYPP. A questionnaire survey was administered to a sample of 33 engineering students, who identified the following features as important components of the conclusion section: a summary of the final year project, presentation of overall findings, references to previous research, discussion of issues related to the final year project, restatement of the objective/focus, specific results, interpretation of results, significance of the results, limitations, counter-arguments, and an explanation of the final year project. The study reveals that students are aware of the various elements that make up the conclusion section and suggests that this knowledge can help them improve their FYPPs. By better understanding the genre expectations and characteristics, engineering students can present their final year project findings more effectively and demonstrate their mastery of the discipline.

Drawing a blank – design modelling composite timber elements

The shift towards bio-economies of architectural fabrication necessitates particular consideration of how characterizing aspects of bio-materials such as heterogeneity and anisotropy impact the designed performance of architectural elements. These aspects must be integrated into the modelling and representation of architecture and must be instrumentalised for digital design and fabrication processes. The use of timber in construction is challenging due to its complex material behaviours, and therefore robust methods for predicting and modelling these are crucial for exploiting the timber resource more effectively. In light of this, we focus on developing a holistic and integrated digital modelling approach for glue-laminated timber construction elements that connects the digital design model to the specific material resource and incorporates its material complexity into design simulation workflows. We question the role of the lamella in the glulam blank and trace its agency through a series of four disparate projects, from an initially silent and generic constituent of the blank to a key, operative actor in the design of performance-graded timber products through the added specificity of material composition and a liberation of its form. The first project develops a modelling approach that connects material specification and lamella sizing to free-form timber element geometries. It uses principles of industrial glulam production and knowledge of the anisotropic nature of timber to speculate on new forms of glulam blanks that could arise from a deeper engagement with the glue-lamination process. The second project looks further back in the timber value chain at the processing of the specific forest resource into tailored building elements, attaching a material specificity to the lamella. The third project expands the modelling and prototyping of non-standard glulam blanks into considerations of timber waste streams and aesthetics. The final project aims to further speciate the lamella by tailoring its form as well as its material composition to respond to simulated performance demands. Through these projects we outline the development of a novel digital framework that begins as a modelling approach for free-form glulam beams and grows to accommodate the mapping and allocation of specific, heterogeneous input material. As the digital framework matures, increasingly detailed and interlinked digital simulations of mechanical performance are integrated.
