Abstract
There is a growing demand for fire safetyengineers. While new fire safety engineering programshave been created, the demand for highly qualifiedpersonnel is growing more rapidly than the supply of newgraduates. One particular challenge is the ability of asingle institution to offer the range of courses required ina comprehensive fire safety engineering program.Fire Performance Testing and other courses in theUW Fire Safety Engineering program are offered in amodular format: lectures are given over one week, andstudents submit coursework over the following four to sixmonths. This format allows a larger number of practicingengineers and faculty from other universities to take orteach courses. This paper focuses on the use ofvideoconference technology in ME 770. Since 2012 abouthalf of the students, and one of the instructors, have takenthe course or delivered their lectures by videoconference.Lessons learned, and efforts to establish modular firecourses with other universities, will also be discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
