Mission for a Holistic Education: Pilot ImplementationAbstractThe evolution of engineering education over the past few decades reflects the growingcomplexity of the challenges engineers encounter in today’s world. Where once technicalproficiency was the primary emphasis of engineering education, there is now a growingrecognition of the distinct but complementary role that professional formation plays in shapingwell-rounded engineers [1] [2] [3]. A holistic approach to engineering education will help usshape future engineers who possess the foundational knowledge and applied skills in theirdiscipline, as well as across disciplinary boundaries, along with global and cultural awareness,social responsibility, ethical leadership, and sustainability

Asstudents are already using these tools in their academic work at a higher rate than we expect [1],taking a proactive and forward-thinking approach to integrating GenAI into engineeringeducation is becoming increasingly important. Such an approach will not only equip studentswith the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs but also encourage them to explore itslimitations and ethical and professional implications.In this case study, the authors explore the integration of two GenAI-based writing assignmentsinto a senior-level design course.
