Ultimately, the decisionto make the switch was motivated primarily due to the open-source nature of Python that wouldmake it more accessible to students as they entered the engineering profession while havingsimilar advanced functionalities of MATLAB. Specifically, the Spyder integrated developmentenvironment (IDE) [1] was selected for instruction, since it has many color-coding,autocomplete, and

participate in such [7-9].In response to the above challenges, we have developed a novel virtual reality (VR) clinicalimmersion platform, enabling a large number of students to access healthcare spaces [10, 11].Designed for undergraduate biomedical engineering students, this innovative platform offers theopportunity to explore and address unmet clinical needs within a simulated virtual environment.To this end, the virtual reality platform allows students to visualize various medical proceduresin 360° and first-person view, enabling them to see both the full workflow of the environmentand the physician’s viewpoint. The VR platform has been integrated into a course on UnmetClinical Needs Finding, piloted during the Spring of 2022 and 2023 as an

and after SEI. Thetop three soft skills with the most improvements are engineering design process, documentation, andclient interaction. 68.8 % of the students chose level 1-2 for the engineering design process before SEI,while 93.7% chose level 3-5 after SEI. For documentation, 62.5% of the students chose level 1-2 beforeSEI while 81.2% chose level 3-5 after SEI. For client interaction, 81.3% of the students chose level 1-2before SEI while 93.7% chose level 3-5 after SEI. This correlates with the technical skills data.Students were asked if they felt more confident going to an interview for an industrial internship. Ten ofthe thirteen respondents answered yes.

In this cornerstone experience theengineering professor guides students in applying engineering processes to solve real-worldproblems, while the communication professor instructs students on writing engineering designreports, giving presentations, project management, and teamwork in the context of engineeringprojects.In a paper for the 2022 ASEE PSW conference two authors of this paper outlined the rational fordeveloping the cornerstone courses: it aims to better prepare students for the design project theyencounter in capstone.

The primary resultwas a naturally rigorous standard of communication and reporting between students.

The Chabot quickly gained popularity and had over a million usersafter less than five days [1]. What attracts folks to ChatGPT more than other chatbots is thehuman like quality of the chat, the ability to understand context and nuance, and the wealth ofinformation in the system. ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, has been undergoing improvementssince its first iteration in June 2018 [1]. Each updated version of GPT (Generative Pre-TrainedTransformer) has included increased improvements with the current iteration
