at a four-year university isapproximately $1240 [1]. At the University of British Columbia (UBC), the average cost oftextbooks for undergraduate students rose from $893 in 2021 to $1,253 in 2022. As a result, astaggering 70% of undergraduates reported not purchasing textbooks [2]. The high cost oftextbooks can negatively impact students’ access to learning materials, course selection, andacademic performance [3, 4]. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the situation,challenging institutions to continue working on innovative approaches to affordable andequitable higher education [5].Open education resources (OER) are learning resources that are openly licensed and freelyaccessible for users to adapt and share. The use of OER can help

. Originally a 4 SCHcourse, it was changed to 3 SCH due to hour restrictions in some curricula but did not receive aproportional reduction in content. This dense course contained the majority of college algebra,trigonometry, logic, and a few topics from linear algebra, resulting in an overload in content formost students. Students with strong fundamentals were already experienced with the majority ofthe content, making the course uninteresting, while those who could benefit most from thesetopics were often overwhelmed by the rapid pace of the course. These issues, combined withfaculty frustrations that Precalculus had become primarily review and remediation, led to acurriculum redesign to be piloted in fall 2022.

To gather data,surveys were conducted to assess students' perception, obtaining qualitative data that allowedevaluating students' response to the use of AI and critical thinking. The survey consisted of open-ended questions about two main topics: the first set of questions allowed reviewing students'comprehension of a new topic using AI, while the second part of the survey aimed to reportstudents' perception of AI and the development of critical thinking during the task.Characteristics of the activity To conduct the activity, the generative artificial intelligence

significant gender disparities in innovation (Koning et al., 2021; Stoet &Geary, 2018). These gaps are compounded by structural inequities in education and professionalenvironments, as well as gender-biased norms within intellectual property systems, whichprioritize traditionally masculine modes of invention (Lai, 2020; Revankar, 2022). Engineeringeducation plays a crucial role in shaping the innovation pipeline. Existing literature reveals howunderstanding how patents work should be an integral part of engineering education (Garris &Garris, 2017; Kaplan & Kaplan, 2003). Moreover, women’s inventions, which frequently addressunmet societal needs such as women's health and caregiving technologies, are systematicallyundervalued, resulting in

IntroductionStudents of mechanical, civil, environmental, aerospace, and industrial engineering disciplinesare mandated by the ABET standards to take many common courses laying down the sametheoretical foundation across all disciplines (ABET, 2022). This has been the standard for coursedesign for decades since the advent of pre-requisite courses that lay the foundation for latercourses in the curriculum (Skinner, 1954; Sato et al., 2017). One of those courses is theEngineering Statics course, which is also known by alternative names, such as Statics andDynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Structural Elements and

Evidence of the effectiveness of the DEI integration approaches is provided viacontent analysis of a homework assignment and the final reflective essay. In addition, there wasno evidence of student resistance to DEI topics in the course.

The format of thetraining consisted of lecture and lab components totaling 20 hours, run as two sessions (4) hoursper day for one week. The morning session was conducted from 8am-12, and the afternoonsession from 1-5pm. This design was selected so that employees from the larger employer wouldnot be all out on training at one time. Therefore, they split their employees so that half attendedthe morning session while the others attended the afternoon session.Later in the summer, a second training session was offered in an all-day 8-hour
