"Engineering")This search string yielded 717 papers, which were collected in September 2023. We used Arxiv, apopular preprint repository, to retrieve papers because, at the time, it was anticipated that manypapers about LLMs in education would not have passed peer review or been published yet.Moreover, the "correctness" of the results was not of concern at this stage; we were interested inwhich applications were garnering interest to explore through a research lens.To determine which papers were relevant, we evaluated them against the following two criteria:(1) the paper included reference to an LLM like ChatGPT in an educational setting, and (2) theeducational setting was science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). Following thefirst

reliance on cloud computing and big data will continuously increase, andnew data-centric technologies and engineering approaches will be developed. Due to this rapidlydeveloping field, there is a need to track these trends and incorporate the corresponding developments intoour current science and engineering curriculum. Besides data science skills already taught in traditionalengineering curricula, such as mathematical, computational, and statistical foundations, the NationalAcademies guide discusses that key concepts in developing data acumen include domain-specificconsiderations and ethical problem-solving.

Healthcare and medicalscientists warn that LLM-driven AI is an “experimental technology that is not ready for primetime,” [11-12] in the sense that it can only augment human decision making if it iterates within“an ethical, technical, and cultural framework for responsible design, development, anddeployment.”LLMs and Engineering EducationSelected educators are advocating for the use of transparent LLM-assisted report writing, findingmixed results and some benefits for
