-stackdevelopment. The recommendations led to the development of a new course that providesstudents with a comprehensive full-stack training with an integrated understanding of thechallenges of software development lifecycles.The faculty-wide focus on data and machine learning aligned well with the addition of a requiredcourse on machine learning for software engineers. The new course introduces students toimportant topics in machine learning and data science, therefore leaving room for more advancedtechnical electives that could introduce topics such as deep learning or reinforcement learning.Removal of existing content:The addition of curriculum content also meant that some existing content would need to beremoved to balance student workload while

demonstratehow ChatGPT could serve as a valuable guide for students [29]. Davis et al. performed a similarstudy with questions suited for introductory programming courses in C [30]. Other researchershave explored students’ use of LLMs and their varied perceptions. Liu et al. integrated AI toolsin an introductory course (Harvard CS50) to aid teaching and learning [31]. A user study byVaithilingam et al. explored how students and programmers utilize and perceive Co-pilot [32].Considering that students use Copilot to learn code, Puryear and Sprint investigated its impact onstudents’ code learning process within introductory computer science and data science courses[11]. In another online introductory programming course, Hellas et al. assessed the
