[1]-[3]. Experts called for a pause in development, and governments rushed to regulate or evenoutright ban the new technology [4]-[8].The ability of ChatGPT to write computer programs has been of particular concern to thesoftware engineering community. Dire predictions have been made about job losses, counteredby observations of the current weaknesses of AI [9]-[14].Students are, of course, aware of these developments. Several students have told the author thattheir computer science instructors have said that there will be no jobs for programmers by thetime they graduate, and the software engineering program at the author’s institution isscrambling to revise its curriculum so that it is not rendered obsolete.Even though the threat to other

In 1997, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) adopted Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), whichfurther emphasized that accredited engineering programs need to consider the ability to functionon multidisciplinary teams within their curriculums [1].

thediscovered trend). Thus, nearly two-thirds of the activities included math that was required, acommendable quantity. These math-embedded activities thereby aligned well with the “beads-and-threads” conceptual model presented by the National Academy of Engineering, whereby“threads” of math, science, technology, and design are integrated into manageable engineeringprojects (the “beads”) [4]. Unfortunately, none of the reviewed activities included math that wasused to inform decisions, make predictions, or confirm experimental data (i.e., modeling).The research team also determined that 70% of the suggested CCSSM were aligned well with thepublished activities (14 activities had 100% alignment), with most misalignments easilycorrected with minor
