Whether or not it returns to an on-campusimplementation in future years will be decided collaboratively by those who plan this event andthe theatre personnel who implement it. Additional considerations regarding futureimplementations of the Theatre Sketch productions are related to the time, effort, and cost ofproduction and the university and department budgetary resources.AcknowledgmentThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation.

semester.Our results suggest that PLTL in Calculus 1 strongly supports student success, with particularlystrong gains for students typically underrepresented in engineering. While the focus ondeveloping problem-solving skills and engagement with course content is important, intentionalcommunity-building to foster peer connections that lead to mutual academic support appears tobe a crucial aspect of these gains. Thus, linking PLTL to a LC or incorporating intentionalcommunity-building directly into early PLTL sessons will help maximize achievement gains.References[1] J. A. Middleton, S. Krause, S. Maass, K.

performance UNIX clusters as the vectors forinteracting with ML. The downside would be the high setup cost of developing a preconfiguredimage for an ML instance. The Jetson comes with all of the libraries and docker images correctlypre-installed; the cluster does not. The Jetson comes with default ML scripts students can interactwith; the cluster does not. However, the instructional team plans on students continuing tointeract with ML in future years, independent of the platform, as they believe this is a tool allengineers need to understand. In addition, more quantitative data is set to be recorded nextsemester, including surveys, to give a broader insight into the success of the program.References [1] L. Huang and K. -S.

While using this tool robs students of the learningbenefits of performing these calculations themselves, it does provide a step by step breakdown ofthe steps it performs in these calculations much like you would see in textbook exampleproblems. It can make for a great tool for students looking to verify their own calculations orthose stuck on a particular step. That being said, some caution should be exercised as there lacksa verification of ChatGPT’s ability to solve all equations encompassed within a first-yearengineering design course. There is no guarantee that all solutions it presents will be correct, asshowcased in RQ2’s example of weighted decision making.A current limitation of the free version of ChatGPT is the presented
