andimagination. While limiting technology's usage is impossible to stop, learning how to incorporate itefficiently in the educational system is essential. Integrating machine learning (ML) and artificialintelligence (AI) in education is a significant shift in educational methodologies. This transformationoffers the possibility to change learning approaches while presenting challenges in the ethical field.This research paper explores the impact of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI),particularly large language models like Chat GPT, on education in our classrooms. This topic isessential because it signifies a change in the methods that educators and students use to engage in acourse, transforming the learning outcomes while upholding

mathematics”. The faculty use work-it-out problems to assess student learning, especially onhomework and exams. Upper division engineering classes often have additional student outcomes,like SO#4: “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situationsand make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global,economic, environmental, and societal contexts”. Reports have been used to gauge student masteryof SO#4. In the Spring 2023, students were asked to review the 2030 Agenda for SustainableDevelopment adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2015. https://sdgs.un.org/goals Goal #7 is“Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” [8].

Advocates of service learning see the benefits asbeing similar to those of community service but with added focus and structure, elements that helpmake the experience more meaningful for all involved2.The students are graded on their presentation and their paper, each at ten percent of the grade for atotal of twenty percent of their grade for the course. The paper and presentation are also used toevaluate ABET outcome 4, “An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

opportunities. Students were engaged inintroductory research tasks as a bigger team to establish a baseline of basic cybersecurity knowledgeand research framework. Then, they were grouped into teams. The team approach was used toreflect a “real-world” work environment where student develop their ability to collaborate on a teamand function as both leaders and team members. In addition to hands-on work in the laboratory,students participated in weekly meetings centered on different topics of interest to undergraduates.These meetings included guest speakers who presented on different research topics and jobopportunities in their fields, lessons on how to read research papers, the responsible conduct ofresearch/ethics, how to apply to graduate school

The seven studentoutcome ABET criteria serves the purpose of ensuring adequate comprehension of conceptsfundamental to the engineering practice as well as confidence in being able to directly apply theseconcepts to solve problems in an ethical and effective manner. Based upon the groups self-evaluation of the project the group believes that it provides testament to the success of the WestTexas University Engineering Program’s in ensuring that students are provided with curriculumdesigned with the seven ABET criteria as a main focal point.

The synthesis of these demonstrated student outcomesequips engineers to exhibit critical thinking, creativity, and leadership in diverse team roles withinthe industry.The curriculum's depth extends to include content in essential areas for all engineers, such as ethics,devices, integrated circuits, and engineering economics. The objective is to offer a comprehensiveelectrical engineering education that serves as a foundation for graduates to specialize in their earlyprofessional careers and pursue advanced studies through graduate education.The College holds annual programmatic assessment meetings every Spring semester.

By the end ofthe first month of the second semester, the students would have ordered most of the materialsrequired for their proof-of-concept, usually a combination of “make” and “buy” components, basedon their budget and ease of manufacture. The students then spend the rest of the semester buildingthe prototype and testing it, supported by lectures on Embodiment Design, Prototyping, Design forManufacture and Assembly (DFMA), Engineering Standards, Engineering Ethics, ProjectManagement, Lifecycle Design, etc.3.2: Electrocycle DesignThe underlying design philosophy for the energy generation/conversion part of the project is quitestraight-forward with several
