, research focusing on the student experience is critical. As universities grapple with AIpolicies and practices, this study emphasizes the need to include student voices. Findings providekey insights that can inform faculty pedagogy, course design, campus policies, and strategicintegration of AI. Centering student perspectives allows for human-AI collaboration in educationthat maintains academic integrity while supporting creativity and learning.IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT can produce remarkably human-like text. Astechnological barriers to developing advanced conversational AI rapidly diminish, thesetechnologies have disseminated across society with explosive growth anticipated in the comingyears. However, concerns

and educational researchers todesign venues that empower students to have ownership in constructing their views of generativeAI as engineers-to-be.Introduction “I didn’t realize how helpful AI could be and how it could be used in an education setting without it seeming like a way to cheat. At the beginning of the semester, the fact that we were told to use AI was crazy to me, but now I can’t see how the class would’ve run without it.”This excerpt from an exit survey was written by a first-year undergraduate student whoparticipated in an introductory engineering course re-designed to support students' tinkering withgenerative Artificial Intelligence (AI).As the use of AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DALL-E grows more

assistants who attend class tohelp with student questions during project work time, and they support the grading ofassignments.For the first two years (2020 and 2021) that we offered the class, the semester was significantlyimpacted by COVID and it was taught as a hybrid class. As a result, the class has changedsignificantly each semester as it shifted from hybrid to in-person and we continued to add andmodify the class activities.This year, we made adjustments to address the availability of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots,such as ChatGPT [20] and Matlab AI Chat Playground [21]. The biggest impact is on thesimulation module because students can easily generate their code with these AI chatbots. As aresult, we have put less emphasis on
