-course design hasbeen applied to course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), to our knowledge,these principles have not explicitly been applied to a traditional apprenticeship model.IntroductionUndergraduate research experiences (UREs) have become a popular program at manyinstitutions to bridge the gap between theory and practice (Ahmad, 2022), engage students in adiscipline (Drake, 2024), encourage students to pursue advanced degrees (Ahmad, 2022; Drake,2024), and inform students about research career pathways (Ahmad, 2022; Drake, 2024; Siby2024). UREs come in different formats such as course-based undergraduate researchexperiences (CUREs), a traditional research apprenticeship, or some unique hybridization of aCURE and an

We are also analyzing student responses on non-technical, professionalskill developments such as teamwork, problem solving, communication, etc., and theresults will be shared in a full paper. Furthermore, SolidWorks and 3D printing quiz will bedelivered pre-lab as well as post-lab to gauge students’ true knowledge gain from the lab.Finally, long-term follow-up will be essential to evaluate whether this lab not only enhancedstudents' sense of identity as engineers and influenced their post-graduation career choicesbut also determine the benefits of continued instruction in SolidWorks and 3D printingduring junior year compared to intermittent delivery in the sophomore and senior years.References:1.

Criterion 4, which callsfor continuous improvement in engineering programs.Each workshop topic is led by an engineer, who oversees a collection of workshops related totheir area of expertise. They manage the content, pedagogy, and training of student instructors.The engineers on our instructional team range from early career professionals with bachelor’sdegrees in biomedical and mechanical engineering to senior engineers with decades ofexperience in academia, some holding advanced and doctoral degrees – all sharing a commonpassion for engineering education. Workshops taught in class are led by a staff engineer, whileevening and weekend workshops are taught by student staff. Table I offers an example of thevarious workshops managed by an engineer. A

,specifically generative AI based solutions, as an exploratory exercise for students. These toolsserve as both a benchmark and a critical evaluation exercise for students. By comparing their ownsolutions with AI-generated ones, students gain insights into the strengths and limitations ofgenerative AI while enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This also servesas an informative study on student perceptions on integrating generative AI into their own works.The reflective nature of this exercise can give student’s insight into their own usage of generativeAI in other courses and as they evolve into an engineering career. Broadly speaking, thisintegration explores a modernized approach to engineering education, aligning with
