Figure 4 shows the meanscores and variability (mean ± standard deviation) for Labs 2 and 5, with human scores serving asthe reference for comparison. In Lab 2, the human reference mean was 16.89, with Qwen scoring16.07 and GPT-4 scoring 15.72. Qwen's score was closer to the human reference, indicating betterperformance than GPT-4 in this laboratory. In Lab 5, the human reference mean was 20.44, andQwen achieved a mean score of 22.67, whereas GPT-4 scores were 21.17.

Asstudents participate in activities beyond the classroom, they have a stronger educationalexperience and higher institutional satisfaction [11]. Student success can be attributed to theconnection and access students have to faculty advisor(s) and other student members [12], [13].These students develop practical competencies (i.e. soft or power skills) and build leadership thatmay not be included in their academic curriculum [14]. These skills can be practiced throughstudent organizations. These organizations provide an opportunity to grow future leaders byoffering opportunities to balance
