to computational speeds have made it more powerful [1, 2].Machine learning (ML) generally refers to algorithms (e.g., linear regression, non-linearregression, random forest) that turn input data into output data, and in doing so, achieve AIgoals. ML algorithms typically require tens to hundreds of data points. Deep learning can beconsidered a part of ML, and both fit in the broader term of AI. Deep learning algorithms(e.g., neural networks) typically work on thousands of data points and are, as such, used in‘big data’ engineering applications.AI-powered technologies are becoming more prevalent in daily life and the workforce,making it crucial to understand and adapt to using new large language model (LLM) tools,such as Chat Generative Pre

IntroductionMaterials play a pivotal role in advancing the technologies that shape modern society, both fromunderstanding the connection between a material’s structure, properties, processing, andperformance in the field of materials science and selecting the correct materials for a particulardesign. Despite their significance, materials science as a field is often introduced later inengineering education – generally in the second year of university studies, following first-yeargeneral engineering courses. At that point, students have already established their academic focusand are less likely to appreciate how the study of materials science can play a role in their

Requiring students to engage in productively challengingassignments will optimize their learning and growth.4. Writing is vulnerable. Some have characterized writing as a technology of the self [6]. It is away of sharing you with the world, and that if valuable but can also can feel intimidating orscary.5. Writing is ambiguous. There is no one correct way to write a document. This fact mirrors real-life problems, and is particularly relevant in professional engineering where the path forward isoften murky and does not lead to unique correct solutions. In sum, the value of writing
