. In this two-round negotiation exercise, students assume theroles of job candidates, negotiating terms with an AI-bot recruiter. The AI then providesstudents immediate, objective feedback after the first round. Students reflect on theirperformance, and identify improvements and strategies before the second round.A distinctive feature of AdVentures is the ability to treat each negotiation round as a “fresh start.”Unlike human negotiators who often carry past memories and experiences into subsequentnegotiations, the AI resets for each round. This unique feature enables students to leverageinsights and learnings from Round 1 to their negotiations in Round 2, enhancing students' abilityto adapt and apply their negotiation skills effectively.This

presence of undetected AI-generatedcontent poses a direct challenge to maintaining academic standards, necessitating heightenedvigilance from educators. To mitigate the risk of false negatives, detection tools must evolve withAI content generation technologies, ensuring that new methods of AI-assisted content creation arequickly identified and appropriately addressed [17], [18].3.2.3 AI Detection Tool Comparative Analysis ReviewsThe AI detection tool comparison considers twelve "best AI-detection tools" published rankingsappearing from October 2023 to February 2024. These published rankings range from a minimumranking set of nine to a maximum ranking set of twenty-two software applications. These rankingsappear in chronological order, reflecting

This is because assertiveindividuals are known for their propensity to foster constructive dialogue and win-winresolutions.Figure 4: Team Personality Traits Indicating Assertion and TurbulenceThirdly, our finding indicates that team effectiveness and success were assessed based on fivekey constructs of team success, the findings of which are outlined in Figure 5. The results showa strong consensus among team members, with over 95.0% agreeing that the team maintains anappropriate culture. Furthermore, 92.0% of respondents acknowledge the team’s activeinvolvement in setting task objectives, reflecting a proactive approach to goal setting that alignswith the principles of strengths-based leadership theory [17].

proactively recruited new instructors tomatch those demographics. Our instructors and visiting executives now reflect those changingdynamics too, at 66.7% and 62.5%, respectively, representing commercial and industrialexperience. Exhibit 9. Responding to Changing DemographicsWe also saw a shift in geographic location. In Fall 2015, the majority of our MEM studentscame from the local Baltimore/Washington region (62.5%). Not surprising since this course, andmany of our other MEM courses, were offered on campus and in person. Johns HopkinsEngineering for Professionals was already proactively moving to more online offerings that alignwith working professional education preferences. And further encouraged by even broaderacceptance of

, and Recognition (R3).The Center’s mission is to recruit diverse and talented students, provide evidence-basedprogramming for retention, and celebrate students’ success by recognizing their hard work andaccomplishments. This mission is tied to the state’s mandate to increase enrollment in highereducation [7] and to boost STEM education to meet the growing STEM workforce needs [8].Tennessee Tech University’s strategic plan to increase freshmen-to-sophomore retention rates to82% and to reach a 50% 4-year graduation rate by 2025 [9] is also reflected in the Center’smission.The CoE SSC activities and outcomes have been through substantial growth in the past threeyears, the staff have been intensifying recruitment efforts, developing and

education institutions, and the potentialimpacts of considering OR theories for engineering education.Introduction Resilience is a complex concept analyzed by the literature and can be defined as the“ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change”2. Since the COVID-19pandemic shocked the world, various research has been developed to understand and reflect onthis phenomenon. One scope of this research analyzes the educational context, and how highereducation institutions responded in their practices while learning about external shocks. Whilesome universities suffered from this unexpected disastrous scenario, some were sufficientlyprepared to smoothly pivot to the obligated online modality to learn and teach. This

organizations like ABET. Asthe landscape of engineering education continues to evolve, these insights will be instrumental inshaping effective strategies for delivering and assessing engineering management programs inthe digital age.Implications for Engineering Management EducationThe evolution of assessment methods aligns with the dynamic demands of the engineeringmanagement field and the rigorous expectations set forth by ABET. Traditionally rooted inevaluating fundamental engineering skills and knowledge, the assessment process has becomemore comprehensive. The emphasis on broader competencies such as leadership,communication, and teamwork reflect a keen response to the interdisciplinary demands inherentin modern engineering management and by

influenceparticipants' responses. Third, the study included a mix of closed-ended and open-endedquestions, allowing participants to express their thoughts and experiences in their own words.However, despite these efforts, the possibility of response bias cannot be entirely eliminated,and the results should be interpreted with this limitation in mind.Finally, the rapidly evolving nature of AI technology presents another challenge. The study'sfindings are reflective of the current state of AI and may not remain relevant as newadvancements and shifts in the industry emerge.6.2 Future WorkTo build upon the findings of this study and address its limitations, future research couldexpand the scope to include a more diverse range of participants from various

havegraduated and pursued distinct paths. Student A is now pursuing a Ph.D. in robotics, and StudentB is now the CEO of a tech startup in AI. The interviews aimed to explore the lasting impact ofthe Inno Wing on their development. When reflecting on the impact of the center during theirstudies, both students emphasized its role as a unique infrastructure supporting students'innovations and prototyping. Student A articulated, “It supports students' engineeringexplorations and crazy ideas. We put our theoretical innovations of robotic fish design intoimplementations here…,”.Regarding the perceived value of the Inno Wing, both students referred to it as a hub whereengineering enthusiasts, great ideas, and achievements converge, creating a stimulating
