The overall risk-benefit analysis affects policy making (Office of Ed Tech, 2024), butthere is promise for increasing educational equity (Sylvestre, 2023).Human-Computer Interaction: The general area of best practices for interacting with a chatbot istermed “prompt engineering” (Reynolds, 2021). Prompt engineering entails users tailoring theirquestions to the chatbot to task-specific domains, such as medicine (Heston, 2023), engineering(Velásquez-Henao, 2023), science education (Cooper, 2023) and image generation (Liu, 2022).Overall, prompt engineering provides another

Despite the response from the university officials to these studies and theirfindings, employers continue to find newly hired engineers lacking in the capacity to lead(Armin et al., 2022; Knight & Novoselich, 2017; Kotnour et al., 2014; Rose & Flateby, 2022).In response to graduates’ lack of professional skills indicated by employers (Armin et al.,2022; Knight & Novoselich, 2017; Kotnour et al., 2014; Rose & Flateby, 2022), this studyprovided early career engineers’ perspectives on the expectations of leadership their employersplaced on them and their readiness and competence to lead along with how important theirundergraduate education was in

We are also interested in studying differences in adaptiveness betweenmen and women.MethodsAll first-year students at Stevens Institute of Technology are required to participate in subjectpool activities as a part of their core humanities courses. Starting in Fall 2021, the adaptiveexpertise survey by Fisher and Peterson was offered as an option to fulfill this requirement. Atotal of n=645 participated in this survey in Fall 2021 and n=620 in Fall 2022. Only students inSTEM majors are included in this study. Demographic information of the survey participants isprovided in Table 1 below. As seen in Figure 1, the

While students drewthe cash flow diagrams correctly, the following issues were observed: 1) 25.8% failed in PI #2 (i.e. could not calculate the EAOC) 2) 84.4% failed in PI # 3 (i.e., students estimate the resale price)Their work also revealed some patterns of mistakes that needed further analysis to realize if therewere any potential misconceptions. Two anonymous examples of students’ work are presented in 3Figure 1 that shows: (i) lack of understanding of the reference time pf cash flows, and (ii) lack ofunderstanding of cost of service or

That funded creation of over 60additional free and open textbooks now housed in the college commons on LibreTexts [43]. ByFall 2022, these OER books were used in over 1,000-course sections, impacting over 15,000students.Among the OER textbooks built are Introduction to Engineering for Engineers and Scientists[44], General Physics [45, 46] and Calculus [47]. To improve them we are currently buildingonline formative and summative assessment into the textbooks. Figure 3.

This integration not only enhancesstudents' academic performance but also promotes their entrepreneurial mindset and skills(Benek & Akçay, 2022)[8]. Additionally, a study by Zhang et al.(2013)[9] reviewed empiricalresearch on entrepreneurship education and identified the elements of entrepreneurshipcompetencies that are addressed in the literature, and their key findings suggest thatentrepreneurship education can indeed nurture students' ability to think creatively, identifyopportunities, and develop innovative solutions.Furthermore, entrepreneurship education has been linked to the development of 21st centuryskills such as critical thinking

In later work, Francis et al. ((2022), p.81)emphasized the inter-professional aspect of judgment processes in teams and extended their work todefine engineering judgment as a holistic participatory capacity integrating the technical and socialcontext of engineering work, the cultural and discursive production of professional identities, andnaturalistic decision-making processes. Moreover, the ambiguity and uncertainty that is often present indesign or analytical situations requires
