The corequisite course has been approved by the university curriculumcommittee and is a regular offering at the institution.The initial offering of the corequisite course occurred during the COVID pandemic necessitatingthe use of additional instructional technology. There was also an increase in low stakesassessments to encourage students to engage in the material. The added credits also increased theregularity of student interacting with calculus. Since the implementation of this pilot course,there have been several similar changes in

We used Arxiv, apopular preprint repository, to retrieve papers because, at the time, it was anticipated that manypapers about LLMs in education would not have passed peer review or been published yet.Moreover, the "correctness" of the results was not of concern at this stage; we were interested inwhich applications were garnering interest to explore through a research lens.To determine which papers were relevant, we evaluated them against the following two criteria:(1) the paper included reference to an LLM like ChatGPT in an educational setting, and (2) theeducational setting was science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).

The choice between online, face-to-face, and hybrid models should consider factors such as course content, student preferences,and learning outcomes. Overall, the literature suggests that blended/hybrid learning andinteractive approaches within a blended framework can enhance learning outcomes inengineering education, while careful consideration of technology and student expectations iscrucial for the effectiveness of online and hybrid modalities.Designing a well-structured course is essential for facilitating student learning and engagementin both synchronous and asynchronous formats.
