  • can sending first and second year computing students to Technical Conferences help retention
    Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2019
    Co-Authors: Heather M Wright, Burcin N Tamer
    Abstract:

    This research examines the relationship between undergraduate computing students' participation in Technical Conferences and psychological predictors of academic persistence. Studies have shown experiential educational activities, like Conferences, encourage students' persistence in STEM; this is especially important for students underrepresented in the field, who are more likely than their well-represented peers to leave their degree programs. In recent years, academic literature has pointed to anecdotal evidence that conference participation for students early in their undergraduate education relates to students' persistence in STEM pathways. Using national survey data, we examine the relationship between conference participation and first and second year undergraduate students' persistence in computer science pathways. This paper presents results from a cross-sectional analysis and a two time-point analysis of national survey data collected from undergraduate students. Overall, we found that first and second year computing majors who attended a Technical computing conference reported higher levels of belonging to their field and confidence to persist in their degree program than those who did not attend. We also found that conference participants' levels of belonging and self-confidence is higher than non-participants over time, even after controlling for initial levels at Time 1. Our analyses also showed that conference participation was associated with closing the gap in levels of belonging and self-confidence between students who are underrepresented in computing and those who are well-represented. Empirical results from this paper support anecdotal evidence that conference participation for students early in their undergraduate education may help retain students, and particularly underrepresented students, in computing majors in the long-term.

  • Study of the inertial effect and the nonlinearities of the CRONE suspension based on the hydropneumatic technology
    Nonlinear Dynamics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Roy Abi zeid daou, Clovis Francis, Xavier Moreau
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we emphasize two main effects involved in the CRONE car suspension technology (CRONE: French acronym for Commande Robuste d’Ordre Non Entier ). In a first time, we present the influence of the inductive or inertial effect of the pipes that links the different cells of the hydropneumatic car suspension. These components are mainly resistive and capacitive devices. Then, we analyze the nonlinear relations that link the hydraulic power variables (the flow and the pressure) of the hydraulic resistors and the hydropneumatic accumulators and we study the effect of the nonlinear terms on the car suspension response. Our study is based on the gamma RC arrangement developed in Altet et al. (In: Analysis and design of hybrid systems—proceedings of ADHS03, pp. 63–68. Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2003 ) and Serrier et al. (In: Proceedings of IDETC/CIE 2005: ASME 2005 international design engineering Technical Conferences and computers and information in engineering conference, Long Beach, CA, USA, 24–28 September 2005 ). In a second time, we focus only on the gamma RLC arrangement, introduced in Abi Zeid Daou et al. (Int. J. Electron. 96(12):1207–1223, 2009 ). We show whether the parasite effect due to the pipes or the nonlinear RC components affect the system’s response. The simulation results show that neither the inertial effect caused by these parasite pipes of one meter length nor the use of the nonlinear resistors or the accumulators modifies the response of the gamma RC arrangement.
