Furthermore, providing professional developmentopportunities for STEM educators will equip them with the necessary skills and resources toimplement the BSEE curriculum effectively and consistently.Lastly, the evaluation of the BSEE curriculum was limited to self and peer assessments becauseno data were collected directly from the students. Such a decision was intentional, given that thiswas the first exposure of these students to an integrated STEM curriculum. Our team also soughtto avoid adding additional workload, such as completing surveys or participating in

We instead suggest allowing students to upload a link to their revisedfile via a regrade request for only the problems they got wrong as a solution. This would ensure wedon’t regrade the entire assignment if they only missed one problem and also eliminate the need tomanually consolidate grades via an external spreadsheet, which is prone to human error. Not onlywill this simplify the process and reduce administrative burden, it will also ease the integration ofGradescope with our Learning Management System (LMS).

. Asdiscussed (Section 4.2), this may be more reflective of differences in how departments andprograms are structured however, rather than actual differences in the amount of sustainabilitycontent students receive.The degree to which sustainability was integrated throughout the curriculum also had an effect onwhich EOP sustainability competencies were covered, with less integration of sustainabilitycontent across technical electives leading to less coverage of more concrete sustainabledevelopment skills like materials selection or environmental impact assessment. For example,typically (in 8/10 of the programs we analyzed) Electrical Engineering programs required forstudents to take a course that introduced at a high level, the impact of technology on

By systematicallybenchmarking our curriculums against LLM capabilities, we can better understand the evolvingrelationship between AI and education. This understanding will allow us to refine our teachingmethods, emphasize uniquely human skills, and prepare our students for a future wherecollaboration with AI is expected. As we move forward, it is crucial that we, as educators, takecharge of shaping how these powerful tools are integrated into our classrooms and beyond.
