research-based assignments has been exploredless. This study investigates the efficiency and fairness of using AI, specifically ChatGPT, tograde theoretical understanding and research paper assignments in undergraduate and graduatecourses. The research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, we assessed ChatGPT'sperformance in grading assignments, focusing on time efficiency, consistency, and gradingpatterns. We compared AI-assisted grading with traditional human grading methods in thesecond phase. We then analyzed variations in scores, potential biases, and feedback'sperceived usefulness. We conducted surveys to gather perceptions from both students andeducators regarding AI-based grading.The results indicated that AI-assisted grading

itwithin five days, and within two months, it had 100 million active, daily users. Since that time,many generative AI tools have been developed and have been applied to fields ranging from artto medicine, and poetry to finance [1]. Religious groups have even developed AI tools to providechurch-related information and advice, such as Cathy, the Episcopal Church’s “virtual guide.”Cathy (Churchy Answers That Help You) was trained on the Episcopal Church’s website, theBook of Common Prayer and Forward Movement publications, and the ChatGPT knowledgebase. Suggestions for how this bot is to be used include inquiries on official positions of theEpiscopal church, suggestions for liturgy, and general questions about the church and itspractices [4].With

Teaching and Educational Research in EngineeringAbstractThe use of generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) in teaching and education has receivedattention and rapid growth in university engineering programs since OpenAI released ChatGPT inNovember 2022. In this paper, the authors explore the use of genAI in teaching and educationalresearch in engineering disciplines and examine potential benefits and challenges whiletransitioning to genAI implemented in engineering education. This study A) Analyzes howeducators and learners understand and identify the usage of genAI and ChatGPT in engineeringeducation; B) Explores the potential benefits, challenges, and limitations of using thesetechnologies; and C) Identifies educators' perceptions of using

aimed tointegrate artificial intelligence (AI) into the K-12 curriculum by exploring computer vision andAI tools to augment science and technology education. ImageSTEAM specifically introducedvisual media as a critical technology to engage middle school students, particularly in 7th-gradescience, through AI-related topics, digital 3D modeling, and coding.As a result of the workshop, the “Create your 3D Eye” lesson module was developed using AItools such as Pixlr X, TinkerCAD, and ChatGPT prompts. This module helps studentsunderstand the structure and function of the eye and apply their knowledge through interactivedigital tools. The summative assessment for the students is to design and build their 3D model ofan eye from scratch using

learning in higher education.The rapid advancement of these technologies presents both opportunities and challenges foreducators, raising critical questions about the integration of AI into undergraduate classrooms.When systems such as ChatGPT were first introduced, many scholars, such as Noam Chomsky,demonstrated a visceral negative reaction to AI generated text. [1] Generative AI tools were, andlargely still are, seen as a threat to the creative process—ultimately something that academicsshould reject. While these sentiments are perfectly valid, there is a growing body of researchevaluating AI’s benefits. What if there was a way to harness this technology to improve studentengagement and outcomes? Can generative AI personalize learning, automate

our teaching.IntroductionOn Monday, November 4, 2024, during a closed-book test for Statics given on computers, onestudent saw another copy a question, paste it into ChatGPT, and enter the answer just before timeran out on the test.The student cheated, of course, but the argument was made that the test question which askedanything that easily answered by a computer isn’t a good question to ask anymore. For some portionof our teaching careers, it was still good practice to make sure that the students knew the basicsbecause they might not always have a search engine handy. At this time and in the future, it is timeto assume that the students will always be able to look things up easily and quickly.At its heart, education is about preparing our

writing In-class activity2.1 Week 1: First In-person Meeting Activity: Setting Up Your Goal2.1.1 Use of MentimeterIn the first in-person class, the course expectations are introduced. A Mentimeter is used to makethe session interactive and engaging. The following questions are asked during the first meeting,allowing students to see their responses in real-time: How are you today? Use one word todescribe how you feel now. How do you rate your current writing skill? (0-100 points). Howmany journal articles (not including conference presentations) have you published so far? Whatare your expectations for this course? Have you used AI (e.g. ChatGPT) in your academic work?Which area(s) do you find challenging when starting to write? How are
