Reflection on Design Teaching Before, During and After Pandemic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reem Roufail is a materials engineer that is interested in engineering teaching and applying new technologies to engage students in class.Reem believes that learning is a continuous process that does not end with earning a degree.This explains her willingness to explore different fields of engineering as opportunities to learn.She explored mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, petroleum engineering, systems design, and biomedical engineering in her career paths from an academic perspective.Recently she has successfully led and supported Biomedical engineering and Systems Design engineering programs at the University of Waterloo to apply the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) graduate attribute and continuous improvement approach to the programs.That intrigued her to dig deeper into teaching-learning pedagogy.The abrupt changes that the pandemic brought to the education system, were a trigger for her to realize that change is coming to how we do things.However, before we jump into applying a change, we should understand the impact of the change from all stakeholders' perspectives.
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
