The students changed their usage of genAI indifferent ways and fell into two categories: 1) those who adopted it willingly and used it morefrequently, and 2) those who decided to abstain from using it at all. The latter group of studentsreported strong feelings for self-efficacy and to be independently proficient at technical writing.By examining the ways in which students adopt genAI for technical writing and the underlyingintentions, we hope to identify areas in curricula that may require greater emphasis.

It is therefore a learning goal in high-level engineering courses as a preparatory skill for thework force. Accordingly, instructors use a myriad of communication tools such as final projects,lab reports, and poster pitches as deliverables in their courses [1]. These approaches not only testrecall, understanding, and application of course material, but also help students analyze andevaluate data and/or primary literature [2].
