"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).
