The Human Race Into Space Requires Kidneys, and Other Important Topics
A research and discussion group
Agenda and Minutes
1.
AGFS issues: what is VJB's status? Approved by GC
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LSl4kHpBbsQuX42lySNqa7wgsbjShQJj/view).
Might or might not be in the IT system. DB will follow up on that question soon.
2. Making a paper out of VJB's dissertation. Planning.
- We could discuss space research such as something new from V's dissertation. For example, the graphs showing what fraction of satellites last at least a given number of years might be publishable. R suggests there might be other results in the dissertation that could also be valuable.
3. AI, how is it affecting education, how AI could be used to enhance teaching, etc.?
- Automating the Socratic method of teaching.
- TE is leaning toward this for a dissertation.
- See research at https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.13919
- We finished up to the subsection Engaging in An Interactive Dialogue Environment and can start with that next time.
- RAG:
Retrieval Augmented Generation - is a type of intelligent tutoring
system. VJB has a senior capstone project student working on this in Spring semester. He might be able to attend some of these meetings and tell us what he is doing. There is programming involved in this project.
- Consider this prompt to an AI:
- Teach me about an article using Socratic questioning. You ask me questions to guide my learning. Here is the article. <copy paste an article about something here.>
- See research at https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/assets.jmir.org/assets/preprints/preprint-57995-submitted.pdf
6. Reviewing discussion updates: MDPI said to reapply in 2026.
