However, there is 5 little understanding of the perception of availability and accessibility of these digital tools. This 6 gap is even wider for engineering transfer contexts. Since engineering
be less likely to rely too heavily on generative AI to completetheir assignments if instructors teach them how to use it effectively and appropriately instead ofbroadly prohibiting its use. This paper presents the results of a survey on students’ perceptions ofand experience with Generative AI/ChatGPT. Identical surveys were administered to students intwo different sections of the same junior-level writing course for engineering majors. In onesection, students were given prior instruction in the focused, ethical use of ChatGPT with aspecial emphasis on Generative AI’s professional impact. These students were then asked topractice prompt engineering using the CLEAR framework described by Lo [1]: Concise, Logical,Explicit, Adaptive, Reflective
