Learning that breaks machine learning conceptsinto data, tasks, algorithms, and assessment [8] and the Machine Learning Education Frameworkthat describes relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes that should be taught about ML/AI [7].One of the key skills identified in the Machine Learning Education Framework [7] is “MLProblem Scoping”, or determining if ML/AI is an appropriate tool for the problem – a skill thatmany students struggle with. Although ChatGPT and other GAI tools have many strengths, theyalso have (sometimes unexpected) weaknesses. A variety of publications document some ofthese weaknesses both generally (e.g. Borji’s “Categorical Archive of ChatGPT Failures” [1])and within the context of engineering education (e.g. Nikolic et al.’s

This paper reports a unique senior design project fullysponsored by Blattner/Quanta Wind Energy company to design, construct, and test atabletop demonstration of a microgrid 's power system. This model will showcasedistributed energy generation by integrating miniature wind and solar farms for a micro-community. Additionally, this project will include model transmission lines and a batterystorage unit. The integration of photovoltaic arrays and wind turbines is essential tophysically show the real-time use of a scaled microgrid. One remarkable advantage offeredby a microgrid is its capacity to both generate power and efficiently store clean energy. Ourmodel will include a scaled
