five years for General Motors, Delco Marine Division. Throughout my educational journey, I have always sought to combine my technical expertise with a desire to give back to the community. My professional experience began at General Motors, where I worked throughout high school and college. This experience fueled my passion for engineering, but my subsequent transition to teaching truly ignited my spirit. I began teaching at the University of Dayton, moved to Shawnee University, and ultimately found my home at Marshall University. I work in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Marshall. My mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of innovators. Education is about imparting knowledge

ascending survey during an NSF training session. Thepossible responses to survey questions were listed worst-to-best. Both the questions and possibleresponses were detailed focusing on the goal, experience and performance associated with eachlevel. I do not remember if the performance level was mentioned. If so, it was not necessary. Ithought I could use this experience to better determine the effectiveness of pedagogicaltechniques based on student feedback.I had five pedagogical goals for the Engineering Materials course I was teaching. They were: 1: Students will successfully perform at the analysis and synthesis levels of Blooms Taxonomy throughout the course. 2: Students will value the integrated laboratory experience. 3

to the integration of AI in learning and teachingin the Global South will also call Governments to train local researchers and developers, to forgepartnerships with external entities and to integrate digital skills training into primary andsecondary school curricula (Chinasa T. Okolo, 2021).Menekse, despite raising some risks that students who rely too much on AI might lose interestand curiosity, also shows some confidence in AI. In the guest Editorial of the JEE (June 2023),he explains how AI-powered virtual laboratories, seen as able to simulate physical experimentsand visualize fundamental engineering concepts, could be effective for teaching and learningpurposes. Also, Large Language Models (LLMs) are presented as able to provide
