higher-level problems [14]. Havingknowledge about AI systems will be vital for the evolving employment market of computerscience graduates [1, 14]. Creating correct prompts to ChatGPT is a crucial factor in receivingquality results, this is an area where instructors can assist the students if they take the time tolearn how to use the tool properly [6]. There is a consensus that ChatGPT will be integrated withcourses in the future; however, instructors must reassess their approaches to student assessments[16, 17].Ethics and AI Platforms:According to Pazzanese's 2020 analysis, the rapid integration of AI into numerous industries hasintroduced new ethical issues, such as workforce displacement, data privacy, and humanautonomy [18]. Furthermore, the

institutions. The results can inform strategiccurriculum development, the design of more effective student support systems, and betterresource allocation to address the specific needs of students in these fields. Beyond the academicliterature on student success in engineering, this research also provides a practical framework foreducational institutions to make informed decisions in curriculum design and planning in theevolving field of engineering education.1 IntroductionEngineering curricula are intentionally designed to ensure contingency, consistency, and integrity,recognizing that later courses build progressively on the knowledge acquired in earlier ones. Thisis especially evident with mathematics-related courses, including but not limited to

. Therefore, some care must be taken when designing parts for any future adaptedcurriculum to ensure that all features are appropriately sized.ConclusionsThis initiative successfully developed an innovative, adapted curriculum to introduce a visuallyimpaired student to the fundamentals of CAD software, with a focus on Siemens NX. The goalof the course was to familiarize the student with the capabilities of this software and thefundamental design workflow involved in modelling parts, executing simulations, or creatingdrawings. To achieve this goal, the student received one-on-one instruction from a TA, whoexplained core concepts verbally while using waxed twine, modelling clay, and/or a SensationalBlackBoard as tactile aids. Practical, instructive

-level writing instruction.We acknowledge the existing body of research focusing on courses that underscore theimportance of writing skills in specific engineering majors. For instance, Bodnar and Clarkaimed to enhance written and oral communication skills by targeting sophomore chemicalengineers enrolled in an Introduction to Chemical Product Design class.³ This course requiredstudents to produce design reports and deliver elevator pitches, emphasizing practicalcommunication skills in their field. Additionally, Harishchandra et al. integrated technicalcommunication assignments across seven engineering and computer science undergraduateprograms.⁴ The engineering faculty underwent training in technical communication andsubsequently incorporated
