students so that they could provide constructive feedback on the writingaspects of the submission. The feedback was then collected and provided to thecorresponding group of students so that they could incorporate the feedback and improve thequality of their submissions.However, using Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT is changing how students writeassignments [17]. Using AI tools has its benefits as well as problems [18]. While the AI toolmay help students streamline their writing, a major issue can be that the AI tool makes thereport look very generic and provides incorrect technical information [19], which isdetrimental to the quality of the written work [20], [21]. To deal with the issue of the use ofAI tools, a special lecture is given to the

-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in the classroom. Evidencesuggests student use of ChatGPT can enhance academic performance, boost affective-motivational states, improve higher-order thinking propensities and reduce mental effort [3].This evolving AI landscape encourages those in higher education to reassess goals, teachingmethods, and assessment strategies. The impact of AI tools is far-reaching and has alreadycaused educators to rethink Bloom’s taxonomy (Table 1) to distinguish between distinctivehuman skills in the learning process and the role of generative AI (Gen AI) tools such asChatGPT in the learning process. Table 1: Bloom’s Taxonomy comparison of human skills in learning and generative AI skills in learning. Adapted from [4

additional question was added related to ChatGPT,which had risen to prevalence in that time. 5. I think I will need to use ChatGPT at some point in my career.In addition to the MATE 245 class, in the summer of 2023, two undergraduate research studentswere employed to aid in the development of the plastic 3D printing dataset and case study. Thesestudents spent 8 weeks working on developing the 3D printing case study in the Citrine Platform.During this time the students gained more in-depth knowledge of AI and ML through guided andindependent research. The students were invited to provide prompt-based written reflections ontheir understanding and perceptions of ML and how it might be applied to their future careers.Preliminary Findings and
