Haroula M. Tzamaras – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Central Venous Catheterization (CVC) is a commonly performed medical procedure used for medication delivery to the heart. While CVC is conducted over 5 million times annually it is plagued with high complication rates, resulting in adverse effects on patients, and in the worst cases, death. These complications are directly related to the…

Chao Qin; Mengli Zhang; Zhixin Li; Luxin Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deeply integrated into human society. In the future, human collaboration with AI is inevitable. Therefore, exploring the attitudes of future workers--represented by current K-12 children--towards AI has become crucial. Robots stand as typical representatives of AI. Robot programming education is an important…

Lagesen, Vivian Anette; Pettersen, Ivar; Berg, Line – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This paper address how we may understand inclusion strategies designed to reduce the gender gap in higher education in engineering and ICT engineering in particular. Based on a case study of a long-term inclusion effort and statistics on recruitment and retainment, we argue that inclusion initiatives which address important inclusion needs and put…

Chang, I. Joyce; Huff, Stacy; Knox, David – College Student Journal, 2019
Undergraduates (345) at a large southeastern university completed a 34-item Internet survey on the acceptance and use of humanoid robots (robots with humanlike features). Respondents who were male, African-American, less religious and juniors/senior were more approving of humanoid robots. In addition, there was general acceptance for using robots…

McLean, Mandy; Nation, Jasmine M.; Spina, Alexis; Susko, Tyler; Harlow, Danielle; Bianchini, Julie – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2020
Research suggests that, to narrow the gender gap in engineering, we should focus on helping young girls identify with engineering both because gendered attitudes emerge around kindergarten and because identity is more predictive than performance on persistence in the field. This qualitative study sought to understand the impact of collaborative…

Rolka, Christine; Remshagen, Anja – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2015
Contextualized learning is considered beneficial for student success. In this article, we assess the impact of context-based learning tools on student grade performance in an introductory computer science course. In particular, we investigate two central questions: (1) does the use context-based learning tools, robots and animations, affect…
