course for upperclassmen in undergraduate MechanicalEngineering. Topics covered include power generation (fossil fuels, nuclear, solar, hydro, andwind), as well as emerging technologies, local and global trends, sustainability, and policyrelated to the energy sector. The course materials require significant updates with each offeringto stay current with the swiftly changing energy landscape. To update the course materials andassignments for the latest offering of this course, the instructor utilized AI (Microsoft CoPilot) tohelp generate new case studies that included the traditional, technical engineering analysis foundin many textbooks, as well as considerations for sustainability, policy/regulations, and the impacton the local community

humans and robots due to the application ofsoft materials in the robot’s structure, the next generation of robotics will yield more softrobotics. Engineering programs should introduce this cutting-edge technology in their curriculumthat is designed to satisfy societal challenges, provide a template for the advances in softrobotics, and support students to learn and explore these revolutionary changes to prepare theU.S. workforce for advanced robotics careers. However, despite the rapid growth of softrobotics, the resources available to the engineering faculty and students are very limited.
