students whobegin an engineering program actually graduate with an engineering degree four to six years later [1].Research indicates that the traditional first-year courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics often failto inspire students to continue in the program, especially as they limit opportunities for students todevelop their engineering identity [2]. Despite efforts to incorporate engineering experiences into the firstyear of a program, many students who leave after their first or second year report that they grew to dislikeengineering or lost interest in the field entirely as a result of their experiences in these math and sciencecourses [3]. These findings suggest a disconnect between incoming students' expectations of engineeringand

At this workshop students engagein an active reflection process over which PBL competences they have developed and wish tocommunicate while searching for employment and/or internships [1]. These competences arecaptured in a PBL competency profile, which the students submit for feedback.To assist students in their reflective process they are provided with a PBL competencyframework [2].

? AbstractDual-submission homework approaches were developed as a way to foster reflectiveness andmetacognition in students while discouraging academic dishonesty. However, the rise of largelanguage models (LLMs) challenges this approach. This paper examines whether LLMs canreplicate credible reflections and, consequently, compromise the integrity of the dual-submission approach. Experiments were conducted using reflections generated by students andLLMs, analyzed by instructors and teaching assistants, with mixed results. We discussimplications, limitations of current strategies, and potential modifications to maintain academicintegrity in an era of LLMs. 1.
