equations and conceptual definitions while providing handwritten step-by-stepguidance for practice problems. I adapted by shifting from writing on an iPad to using slides thatincluded pre-built equations and solutions for examples. However, I noticed that students found iteasier to follow when I wrote out solutions during demonstrations. This led me to adopt a hybridformat—using slides for presentations and final solutions but handwriting for demonstrations. Theeffectiveness of these pace adjustments was evident in the absence of pace-related concerns incourse evaluations. Students also reported that the integration of real-life examples significantlyenhanced their learning experience and conceptual understanding. In this quarter, the

content–learning how to be an engineer, todevelop an understanding of engineering content.Taken together, the dual trends of valuing accuracy, factual correctness, and integrity while alsovaluing GenAI’s ability to serve as a learning tool to check, practice, and understand engineeringcontent reveals a relatively balanced tension between students’ beliefs about the limitations andopportunities for GenAI to enhance their learning and growth as engineers. On the one hand,students are concerned about the accuracy of information developed through GenAItechnologies, and they emphasize the need to use GenAI in a way that doesn’t disrupt authentic,deep learning in their discipline. On the other hand, students value the potential for GenAItechnologies to

Summative assessments may place the focus incourses on grades over growth and reinforce a static mindset of who can become an engineer [7].Additionally, content rooted in conventional engineering applications can cause students to feelless motivated or disconnected from the major due to a difference in interests within the field.Alternatively, many general first-year courses have integrated active learning or design-basedpedagogies [8]. However, these courses are typically focused on general engineering and oftenhave large enrollments. Additionally, design projects in these courses are often mechanical orelectrical engineering focused as those
