The program was designed withprogressive thinking about high impact practices to support student experiences. In particular, theprogram faculty pushed hard to create meaningful undergraduate research experiences for students in theprogram.Many prior studies have demonstrated the power of course-based undergraduate research experiences(CUREs) as a way to support students in retention [1–3]. CUREs are considered a high impact practice, asthey create a direct mentoring relationship between a student and a faculty member. One challenge ofundergraduate research is the time required to

They are true“digital natives.” Unlike their Millennial or Generation Z parents and teachers who adapted totechnology as it emerged, Gen Alpha seamlessly incorporates digital tools into their everydayroutines. This generational shift has created a pressing challenge: how to support children inengaging responsibly and creatively with technology while ensuring their developmental needsare met [1].

Our study results showed that BME students adjustedtheir usage of GAI for technical writing after receiving a lecture on genAI prompting techniquesfor writing, editing, and assessing its efficacy. 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.

Mastering threshold concepts, particularly in CPS design, leads to a transformedunderstanding of the subject and shifts students' identity within the context of the field. Given thecruciality of these concepts to a field, not just CPS, threshold concepts have been used to unpackstudent misconceptions and design the formative learning experiences necessary to master asubject's core ideas.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence ofmanufacturing activity in the Midwest [1, 2].

This mixed methodsapproach may better prepare engineering professionals for interdisciplinary work.
