graduate special topics course on generative AI (Artificial Intelligence).MotivationThe dynamic nature of the computation and technology landscape necessitates a shift in teachingstrategies. Traditional methods of having students master specific tools are rapidly becomingobsolete, prompting the need to refocus learning goals on teaching students how to adapt andlearn new tools. The “protégé effect,” emphasizing that students learn best by teaching, forms thebasis of the approach outlined in this paper. This student-centric strategy aims to address thechallenge of keeping up with evolving tools by having students collaboratively identify and writetutorials for useful of-the-moment tools.The key learning objective of this approach is to help

It was functional but required inefficient effort to log in at bootand had limited functionality into what it could exactly log. To solve this issue and further oursoftware capabilities, we opted to construct a library which uses MODBUS to directlycommunicate with the solar controller over a serial connection. MODBUS is a communicationprotocol which works by having a master-slave relationship, in which the master requestssomething from the slave with packets corresponding to the desired action.

As new faculty members were hired, there was a period of time during which very littleresearch was conducted at Fears Structural Engineering Laboratory. Between 2001 and 2003,only two students completed thesis-based Masters of Science degrees with a structuralengineering focus.

This allows the students to concentrate,and master, a single aspect of design before attempting the more complex hoistinator project.The design projects in SEC II are, in turn, more complex than the hoistinator. The result is athree project sequence of projects that increase in both duration and complexity. The secondchange was to explicitly discuss the concepts of divergent and convergent thinking with thestudents, and require them to document evidence of both. By understanding the different types ofthinking that goes on in the design process, students are better able to navigate the complexthinking that is needed for design.Language should play a role in design education beyond representing final

Thesemethods are instrumental in modeling mechanical systems, optimizing algorithms, and addressingcomputational challenges such as solving complex differential equations, which govern our day to daylife. Engineers encounter numerical methods first as students and continue to use these methodsthroughout their school and careers. 1It’s common for students to find mastering numerical methods difficult. This may be due in part to theabstract nature of the subject, complexity of the steps involved, and knowledge of when to apply specifictechniques.

Within the two principal areas there are four distinct steps, as laid out by Dominicket al., which should be realized and mastered. The first three deal with the problem definitionissue; forming the problem statement, identifying functional requirements, and recognizingconstraints and limitations.

It is essential tounderstand that scrum values are not restricted to IT or software development classrooms; instead,they can be implemented in any higher education context that promotes project-based learning.Navas and Luna [8] conducted a study at a Spanish University in an English classroom.

These include degree programs and non-degree programs.4.1 Degree programsTo address the issues of social equity and inclusion while keeping the goals of “CS for all” in mind,academic institutions have created and launched Master of Science programs in Computer Science(MS in CS) for non-CS majors. Those programs often take 2-3 years to complete and typicallyconsist of a bridge (also called conversion) curriculum. The curriculum is intended to preparenon-CS majors with the core learning outcomes of an undergraduate CS degree before they begintheir core MS in CS courses [31]. Although the motivations and structures are similar, detailsvary among those programs, especially for the bridging curriculum. According to Herbert
