,understanding and use of nuclear data is extremely important. Nuclear data “impacts design,efficiency and operation of advanced reactors and security applications” [4]. Data analytics playsa crucial role in increasing safety, reliability, and economic viability [4][5].However, the current K-12 and higher education curricula are lacking in data analytics especiallyfor nuclear energy and security. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore innovative approachesin order to integrate data analytics skills into pipeline building to strengthen the future workforcein those areas.In this paper, a pilot study that includes the strategies and practice to integrate data analytics intosummer enrichment programs in nuclear energy and security hosted at Alabama A&

AI technologies reshape knowledge acquisitionand application, demanding an evaluation of AI-generated content and its implications. As AIbecomes more prevalent in engineering management education, it is crucial to assess how thesetechnological advancements intersect with traditional teaching methods, affecting the delivery andthe substance of
tools like Gen AI may be useful. Recent research investigated the effectiveness of using Gen AIin learning [60], [61], [62]. An extension to the TDCR module is proposed in the following section to provide details on theintegration of a Gen AI tool to assist students with their project work. The goal of the Gen AI tools is toprovide guidance on project planning, task assignment, team dynamics and aid with conflict resolution. Itis important to note that the TDCR module that is described in the previous section is a stand-alonemodule that is effective in achieving its purpose. The Gen AI tool aims to provide additional support toboth the instructor and student as will be discussed in the following section.4. Integrating Gen AI in Curriculum

missions are much more focused on providing educational opportunities tolocal students who wish to pursue an education beyond high school. With a few exceptions,community college faculty seek external funding to develop new academic programs, improvecurricula and teaching, or implement student-centered professional development programs, oftenin partnerships with four-year institutions. Community college faculty's two main responsibilitiesare teaching and advising students. In this context, mentoring takes shape (Hensel, 2021). Forinstance, mentoring may occur in the classroom, the laboratory, and the office. In theirclassrooms, faculty uncover the hidden curriculum, introduce academic language, and promotethe notion of students becoming scholars
