Studentsenrolled in the CAD courses at these universities will be asked to complete a questionnaire at thebeginning of the semester measuring their interest in learning CAD, anticipated motivation tolearn CAD, and prior exposure to CAD. A similar questionnaire will be administered at the endof the semester that will also ask them to reflect on how the course goals affected theirengagement with the course. It is anticipated that industry-based certification will lead

Third, they advocated for ensuring equity in high-stakesreviews, strengthening collaborations within the university, providing direct support forunderrepresented students, and committing to cultural humility and departmental reflection ondiversity, equity, and inclusion [4]. In contrast, the scoring process has relied heavily on GREscores to determine program fit [3]. However, research over the past 25 years has examined thehistoric use of the GRE and considered potential metrics to replace it, given its correlations withrace, gender, and socioeconomic status [3, 5]. Alternatives proposed include using a compositescore that combines the GRE with factors such as undergraduate GPA, research

The sample size was alsosmall, but reflective of the class size. Additional studies, with increased interviewdata is needed to expand upon these findings. However, as this is one of the firststudies investigating the information search process with GenAI at theundergraduate level, the findings are relevant and can be impactful and lead tofuture research.ConclusionThis initial study revealed early findings on several points of intersection betweenthe ISP and GenAI.

Sky Texture within in Blender. To explain, the computer graphics modelproposed by Wikkie and Hosek [48, 49] was adopted to simulate the sky background. To achievethe desired result, we first tuned the turbidity parameter, denoted as t, which influences theatmospheric conditions. According to [49], t = 2 yields a very clear, arctic-like sky; t = 6represents a sky on a warm moist day; and t = 10 leads to a slightly hazy day. The results of thesky background under different t values are shown in Figure 6a to c. Next, we tuned the groundalbedo parameter, denoted as g, which measures the reflective properties of the Earth's surface.Lower values of g produce a darker sky background; higher values create a brighter or whitetexture in the sky [49

Erdogan’s Learning Ecosystem Theory posits thatteachers act as mediators across formal and informal learning layers[10], a perspective echoed inparticipants’ narratives. For instance, Michael’s iterative guidance on project feasibility alignswith the observation of Han et al. that teachers in project-based learning environments shouldbalance student autonomy and technical scaffolding[11]. Similarly, Olivia’s adaptation of 3Dmodeling tasks reflects the pedagogical flexibility emphasized by Margot and Kettler (2019) ascritical for integrating emerging technologies[14
