The first time themodified exam format was utilized was in Applied Thermodynamics on the final exam. Thisinformation is included in Table 1 to illustrate the timeline of implementation of the examformat, but data from the spring 2019 offering of the course is not included in the analysis sincethere was a mix of testing formats utilized.

1 Story-driven Learning in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review Abstract Stories have been a pervasive, ubiquitous feature of our lives throughout humanhistory—indeed, storytelling itself is robustly associated with a host of positive benefits,including better mental health (Robertson et al., 2019), increased empathy (Cummings et al.,2022), and a greater sense of belonging (Ritter et al., 2019). As such, storytelling has thepotential to be a powerful tool in a range of settings, including higher education (i.e., story-driven learning). To uncover how story-driven learning has been used in higher education sofar—as well as to discover patterns in pedagogical methods and

), though Ariyo, Bai, and Xiao (2023) warn higher ed faculty to be waryof the “hype cycle” that often accompanies new educational technologies (p. 286). Still, muchattention has been paid on faculty-centered issues like assignment prompts (Sayers, 2023),assessment (Carroll, 2023; Nikolic et al., 2023; Rudolph, et al. 2023), and pedagogy (Straumeand Anson, 2022; Leander and Burriss, 2022). The following paper encourages a considerationof students outside the lenses of these faculty-centered concerns in order to examine how writingwith GenAI chatbots might impact students’ emergent identities as engineers.Some recent work has focused on students and the impact of GenAI on their work.
