alternatives (including their economic impact, social impact, etc.).Engineers need to be skilled decision-makers and evaluators, emphasizing the evaluation ofeconomic impact of those recommendations and decisions as taught in engineering economics.Course DevelopmentDeveloping a new course for undergraduate engineering students from many different programscan be burdensome with the amount of coordination required across different academic units.Some of the departments wanted their students to take a course like this early in the curriculum,so the course was developed with first- or second-year engineering students in mind with limitedexposure in any specific degree plan. This removed any minimum math requirement and allowedthe course to be developed to

coherence. Future work will include gathering andanalysing student feedback, refining materials based on recommendations, planning a morerigorous study comparing OER-using sections with textbook using sections, and expanding thepilot to additional departments to expand on annual student savings.6. EthicsAs confirmed by the UBC Behavioural Research Ethics Board (BREB) office, the work isconsidered “Quality Improvement and Assurance and Program Evaluation”, which under Article2.5 of the Tri Council Policy Statement is exempt from institutional ethics review requirements.This work therefore does not require ethics review for its performance or dissemination.7.

and applicability for the students. Whether the game activities improved studentperformance on other course deliverables is more difficult to assess. In general, students whowon in the investment game received high grades in the course relative to the mean, but causalitycannot be established from the data collected, partially because there is an element of luckinvolved in the game. A continued effort to improve the implementation these game-basedactivities is ongoing. In the future, the instructor-of-record plans to make the game component asmandatory for students and collect more data at the end of the semester to further correlate withthe measurable course outcomes. Logistically, the activities were implemented within the Canvaslearning

provided more accurate and detailed explanations than ChatGPT in some cases.This has prompted us to consider integrating these tools into future iterations of the study.Moving forward, we plan to develop more structured and clearly defined activities for students,with the aim of repeating the study in the following year. By then, we anticipate that universitieswill have clearer instructions and policies regarding the use of AI in classroom settings, whichwill help us refine the design and execution of the study.References[1] R.
