Yayın Introducing professional skills during unit operations laboratory(American Society for Engineering Education, 2011-06-26) Rende, Sevinç; Rende, Deniz; Baysal, NihatUnit operations laboratory (UOL) course is considered to be a crucial and integral part of the chemical engineering education. The primary objective of the course is to enable students to combine theory and practice. Problems in industry however entail more than finding technical solutions. Indeed professional life requires other skills such as an ability to propose ideas, develop practical solutions, participate in teamwork, meet deadlines, establish communication between technical support and suppliers, oversee financial issues, and finally reporting and presentation skills. This study describes how in three consecutive courses, we preserve academic rigor of the UOL course while incorporating components such as experimental design, project development and teamwork, which aim to meet the needs of professional careers. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates of the program. The results show that graduates employed in industry frequently rely on these skills during job interviews, research and product development, whereas those who pursue advanced degrees in academia use these skills predominantly for their research, highlighting the need for adaptive approach for different graduate trajectories in designing the course. For both groups of graduates, the skills introduced during the UOL courses are reported to be valuable in their daily life, emphasizing life-long learning.Yayın A proposal for a computational design and ecology based approach to architectural design studio(Springer, 2022-03) Karadağ, Derya; Tüker, ÇetinUsing computational design methods, this study aims to analyze the effects of an integrated design process model on the ecological awareness of architectural students, and on their ability to incorporate ecological issues in their design work. To this end, two studies have been carried out. The first one involves a survey about how ecology-related and computational design courses complement the architectural design studio at different universities in Turkey. The second one, which is the main study of this paper, presents the results of an ecology-based computational design workshop. According to the results of the first study, computer-based design courses in Turkey usually lack the dimension of “computational thinking”, focusing only on computer-aided design tools. Moreover, we have also found out that ecology courses in Turkish architectural education are mostly elective, and hence, have only very indirect connection to the architectural design studio. In the second study, we have demonstrated how incorporating computational thinking into the design process increase students’ awareness of the ecological dimension and their ability to make this dimension an integral part of their projects. The paper concludes by elaborating on the importance of computational methods in architectural education.Yayın Mixed-method validation of pedagogical concepts for an intercultural online learning environment: a case study(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2007) Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Nguyen-Ngoc, Anh Vu; Kuru, SelahattinThe rise of social software poses the challenges to the design and evaluation of a pedagogically sound online learning environment (OLE). Our OLE addresses these challenges by the integration of three pedagogical concepts - cross-cultural collaboration, self-directed learning and social networking - with the aim to advance participants' competencies and by mixed-method approaches to evaluating the complex situations. A validation trial involving four European countries was conducted. Groups of students co-created a questionnaire, which was assessed to provide an indicator of task performance. Multi-source (surveys, blogs, emails, diaries, chats, videoconference, and interviews) and multi-perspective data (facilitators, students, researchers) were studied with social network analysis, content analysis and conversation analysis. Several a posteriori research questions are addressed.Yayın Comparing pre-trained and fine-tuned transformer-based models for sentiment analysis in Turkish comments in student surveys(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-15) Pourjalil, Kajal; Ekin, Emine; Recal, FüsunStudent surveys are essential for evaluating teaching quality and course content, but analyzing open-ended responses is challenging due to their unstructured and multilingual nature. This study applies sentiment analysis to Turkish educational survey responses using three transformer-based models: SAVASY, DBMDZ BERT Base Turkish Cased, and XLM-RoBERTa Base. A labeled dataset of real-world student comments was used, with sentiment labels assigned using the Gemini AI tool to facilitate model fine-tuning. Evaluation metrics included accuracy, F1-score, precision, recall, and confidence scores. Results show that fine-tuning improves sentiment classification, effectively identifying positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. This highlights the value of transformer models in analyzing Turkish student feedback.
