Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The University of British Columbia's campus sustainability office, through the “Social, ecological, and economic development studies” (SEEDS) program, gave a team of students in a bio‐environmental engineering design course an environmental problem to resolve for their term project. The students did not resolve the problem, but the project‐based learning approach was effective in teaching them about social, economic and environmental sustainability issues. It also provided the campus with a new sense of direction concerning the solution to the particular problem. The teaching process required that the instructors change their teaching approaches as well as subject matter. Changes in individual engineering‐related skill levels were difficult to assess and, due to this, corrective actions were undertaken to address team project‐based assessment in the future. The teaching approach can be adapted to other educational settings. This paper will describe the overall learning and teaching process.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
