’s with Alan Turing and the “Turing Test”,officially coined as “Artificial Intelligence” by John McCarthy in 1956 (19). AI is a generalterm for technology that “enables computers and machines to stimulate human learning,comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy” (19). Under theumbrella of AI are multiple AI-based tools (AI-T) that can assist in the engineering designprocess.The first of these is Machine Learning (ML). According to Radhika Jajkumar, “ML refers to theprocess of training a set of algorithms on large amounts of data to recognize patterns, whichhelps make predictions and decisions” (20). There are three categories that ML is divided into:supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforced
knowledge of use in engineering education.Finally, the presence or absence of explicit "designing for X" framing reveals its potential value forfocusing RtD work. While Shroyer's explicit use clarified her focus, its absence in Coppola's worksuggests opportunities for more intentional framing in future RtD efforts in engineering education.Even this limited sample reveals how the approach can generate structured insights about educationaldesign work while accommodating different scales of innovation. As we continue to examineadditional examples of RtD in engineering education, these initial insights provide a foundation forunderstanding the approach's potential contributions.ReferencesCoppola, S.

important to note that this research is still in progress, with plans for additional surveys tofurther explore students' preferences. Given ChatGPT 4.0's strong proofreading abilities, it wasemployed to correct grammatical and spelling errors and enhance the clarity of the text [10].ConclusionsThe findings from this study demonstrate that ChatGPT 4.0 has considerable promise as asupportive educational tool for enhancing MATLAB programming skills. A significant majorityof students (77.2%) indicated that ChatGPT effectively improved their coding comprehension andproblem-solving abilities through real-time feedback and the clarification of complex concepts.The use of ChatGPT also substantially reduced debugging time for most students (81.8%),although
’ responsesincreased from 2.84 to 2.89. Even though the increase for males is marginal, the analysisdemonstrates the differential impacts of this STEM-focused program on students’ likelihood ofstudying STEM in college by gender. Second, students whose parents/guardians or relatives do not work in the field of STEMwere separated from the rest (who have at least one parent/guardian or relative working in aSTEM field). The weighted average using the four-point scale dropped from 3.08 to 2.68 forstudents whose parents and relative(s) are not STEM workers; these students are generally notexposed to STEM career perspectives at home or family events. In contrast, the weightedaverage increased from 2.82 to 2.94 for students who have at least one parent

‘socially robust knowledge’, ‘societally relevant knowledge’, or ‘societal responsive knowledge’, is designed to describe how socially constructed knowledge in ‘the context of application’ involves the contingent features of contexts as defined by external stakeholders. Far less attention is paid to the internal configurations underpinning interdisciplinary knowledge. [16, p. 473]Against the rising interest in ‘the contextual’, we find Gajary et al.’s recent proposal helpful asthey offered a definition of convergence as a system of systems [5, p. 2, 9]. Their expandeddefinition considers convergence research as an adaptive, dynamic process [5, p. 9-10]. Whileconvergence research is always grounded in specific time and

Thesefindings support previous research on project-based learning, where students exhibited a greaterability to align engineering solutions with end-user priorities (Bosman et al., 2018).
