integrated into ScribeAR butother integration projects are possible. For example, ESPnet [21] is also a common speech to textplatform that is an end-to-end speech processing toolkit. It includes various applications such asspeech recognition, text-to-speech, speech translation, and speech enhancement.Recent advances in Large Language Models will also provide new opportunities for inclusiveconversational approaches. For example, a student project might use the new ChatGPT API thatas of May 2023 is now available as part of Microsoft Azure cloud services, to providesummarization or other textual transformation of a transcript [24]t.8.

Acknowledging the relevance of ethics in CS education is not a novelty. In 1972, ACMreleased and adopted the first Code of Professional Conduct [12], with its last revision releasedin 2018 [13]. Discussions of professional and social responsibility in CS education have beenpart of professional forums for decades [14]. The 2017-2018

receive instant feedback about their score but do not have access to thequestion or their answer after they submit it. Students can re-attempt these exam topics infinitetimes; getting a (hopefully) different question each time.Students are free to access their notes and course materials while answering these questions andare encouraged to write and run test code as well. They are allowed to access the Internet ingeneral, however, they are forbidden from using Internet chat sites such as stackoverflow.com orquestion answering sites such as Chegg, CourseHero, or ChatGPT or from communicating withother people using any medium.Exam questions give the students 30 minutes to do problems that would typically take them 5-10minutes on a standard exam

not a definitive and exhaustive list, it is a good starting point andcan be modified to suit the specific needs and context of the partnership. (Note that the rubricwas constructed with the assistance of ChatGPT. Putting a collection of related ideas into astandard format, like a rubric, is one of the tasks that AI seems to do well. We share thisinformation when we share the rubric as an incentive for potential collaborators to improve it.)Workshop PlanThe IEC has developed a broad and very challenging vision of enabling MSIs and their students,staff and faculty to more fully become part of and contribute to the ECE enterprise. To realizethis vision, this workshop brought together IEC Core MSI members with the heads of other ECEdepartments

Thisis especially true now, since the world is in the midst of a number of controversies dealing withbiased data sets for training of neural networks, ChatGPT unfair uses, or the Elon Musk’s call fora moratorium on AI development. Results from this research will be used as preliminary findings while planning large-scale regionalresearch activities related to AI that could be supported by NSF, Amazon Machine LearningUniversity or the Department of Education. A collaborative network consisting of localschoolteachers interested in AI and AI-active university professors will be created to furtherpromote and implement AI in the K-12 curriculum. Partnership modalities with the AI4K12organization will be investigated to improve AI literacy

Salient themes were identified by the authors and thefrequency of those themes were tabulated to count the number of occurrences specific featureswere identified from students. Responses were coded into the following 8 themes:Communication, assigned roles, motivation, lab skills/course content, collaboration/teamwork,leadership, enjoyment, and delegation/group organization. In addition, the responses were inputinto an artificial intelligence natural language processing tool (ChatGPT, OpenAI) to identifythemes from responses in an unbiased manner. This

more learner-centered and focusedon formative feedback rather than summative evaluation [1].As the world of technology continues to advance, a shift and embracement of new assessmentmethods is appropriate and necessary. For example, as of early 2022, the New York Timesreported that universities are now having to change the way they are teaching and assessingstudents because of the widespread availability of A.I. Chatbots such as ChatGPT [12]. WithinIE at Minnesota State University, Mankato, differential methods of assessment have beenemployed for over a decade and we want to share our experiences with oral exams to supportothers in embracing the changing world, better preparing engineering students for their futurepositions.Overview of
