GPT-4.0 has improved its ability to solve this type of problem through amethod of double-checking results however it is still not foolproof. GPT-4’s improvements areshown through simulated test scores of the AP Calculus BC test where GPT-4 scored 43-59thpercentile instead of the 0-7th percentile that GPT-3.5 showed. This is likely to continue toimprove in future iterations of the software and will likely become less of a problem for users.Future ConsiderationsThere are two types of knowledge groups that need to be addressed for further understanding ofthe usefulness of LLM’s.

Wednesday would still be accepted by the system until 11:59 pm on the Friday ofthat week. After this time, sample solutions for the problems were made available to all studentsthrough the LMS, and the LMS would not permit new submissions past this time.The source of problem sets varied through the courses – some problems were designed “fromscratch” by the instructor(s), some were assigned directly from the required textbook for thecourse, and some were recycled from previous implementations of the course. On average,roughly one third to one half of each course’s problem sets were brand new the year they wereassigned.The three years’ worth of the Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Chemical EngineeringStatistics courses were structured the same

. Toooften, educational institutions uphold hegemonic norms and the status quo. Howard et al.describe that “education has reinforced structures of disadvantage rather than challenging suchstructures,” adding that “education appears to maintain rather than change broad social andeconomic structures” [1, p. 2]. Carpini and Keeter describe service learning as “a collaborativeeffort to address a community problem” [2, p. 635]. Building off of Gervasoni et al.’s [1] andCarpini and Keeter’s [2] social justice lens—though they use the language of service learning—we have chosen the term community engagement rather than service learning to emphasize themutual benefit of the community and the students and to avoid the more deficit-basedperspective that
fusion (not yet viable but showing promise for widespread use in the future) continue to develop, communities will have many options and choices. Practicing engineers are looking for strategies to engage community members in equitable and just ways. The model for community engagement that we are developing in this course has the potential for widespread adoption in professional contexts; this is a way to reshape energy technologies and engineering design more broadly. eferencesR[1] T.

We developed ourscheme to define a higher-quality question to be one that requires or demonstrates higher-levelthinking to answer – such as a question about understanding how or why something happens, ora question probing extension of knowledge to a new application – as opposed to a question thatcould be answered by a simple definition, or a procedural explanation of how to complete a task.Our taxonomy was approximately hierarchical, in which
