Abstract

  The application of Machine Learning (ML) tools to a wide range of problems from image recognition to movie recommendations is increasing rapidly. After a brief overview of ML, select ML tools are demonstrated through the analysis of student grades in various chemical engineering courses. ML tools are shown to help in the identification of important and particularly impactful assignments in various courses.
