Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering program atMichigan State University offered a graduate-level Special Topics course on using Generative AIin scientific discovery. This course was open to graduate students from across the university andenrolled 12 students from 6 majors. Four faculty volunteered as the instructional team and thecourse was modeled after two previous “emerging technologies” classes taught in the samedepartment. The idea behind all of these “emerging technologies” special topics courses is thatthey specifically introduce something that is not only new to the students, but may also be new tothe instructors. For example, previous “emerging technologies” courses covered NextGen GPUprogramming, FPGA programming for scientific

The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).
