critical thinking abilities they needto responsibly navigate and contribute to an AI-driven world.1. IntroductionArtificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force across industries, redefining theworkforce and global problem-solving approaches, from healthcare innovations to environmentalsustainability efforts [1], [2]. Just like integrating computer science understanding and skills intothe curriculum has gained momentum in recent years, so is true for AI. Students need to betterunderstand how the technology works and how to use it properly. Despite the need for studentsto understand how AI works, disparities in Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) AI educationpersist. This leaves many students unprepared to navigate an AI

Brightspace, and Moodle throughstandard Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocols.There are a number of advantages to integrating MOM into an LMS platform. At our institution,Canvas is used as the LMS. It is a relatively simple procedure to integrate MOM into a Canvascourse and it only has to be done once per semester per course. Once integrated, Canvas exportsthe student list to MOM and can be seen in the MOM gradebook. The integration can be set upso that homework deadlines are set up in Canvas and exported to MOM. One benefit of theintegration is that MOM exports the grades to the Canvas gradebook. Therefore, students andinstructors can see the grades in Canvas. While only the grades are exported to Canvas,instructors can see student answers

challenging for students, examining students is another challenge for both instructors as well asfor students2. Instructors are concerned with online testing due to the tendency that students cheat3or maybe tempted to cheat where possible, and when they are comfortable to do so4. Chegg5, AI6,Course Hero7 or any other sources could be hubs where students may refuge to during an onlineexamination, despite the remote proctoring software used. Apart from grade inflation, cheating canalso jeopardize the examination integrity, and the Engineering program of the educationinstitution8. Another challenge that instructors face is in preparing large pools of questions withthe right difficulty levels distributed equally for each student in each test8. The
systems thinking—core componentsof the entrepreneurial mindset. By focusing on these skills, the program aligns with broadereducational goals to prepare students for complex problem-solving in dynamic, real-worldcontexts.Since its inception, the KEEN Fellowship program has grown significantly, drawing participantsfrom various disciplines and institutions nationwide. Fellows undergo professional developmentthrough targeted workshops, such as Integrating Curriculum with Entrepreneurial Mindset (ICE)and Problem-Solving Studios (PSS), which equip them with pedagogical tools and frameworksthat foster active learning and cross-disciplinary applications. This growth reflects an increasingrecognition of the entrepreneurial mindset as essential for

The demanding curriculum requires mastery of core subjects, especiallymathematics, chemistry, and physics, within the first year, and early academic success in thesesubjects is strongly correlated with long-term retention and degree completion [1], [2].Misplacement into inappropriate courses can impede student progress, undermining bothacademic outcomes and persistence.Mechanical engineering programs typically rely on
