of these areas is use of ChatGPT for technical writing. It isgenerally believed that reviewing and editing articles to make sure that they are accurate and freefrom errors are among the laborious and time-consuming tasks in academia. However, this task,among many others, can be performed by using AI thanks to some promising features it offerssuch as error detection, improving text coherence, and trend identification [1]. It can also be usedfor summarization and data analysis as well, which are amazing tools for conducting academicresearch. Although using ChatGPT can facilitate the essay writing process, there is an increasingconcern about the ethical considerations and the significance of balancing AI assistance withstudents’ involvement

evaluation methodologies identified from the literature. These methodologies focus ontools for assessing the effectiveness of AI-generated educational content. Drawing upon insightsfrom an investigation into the application of AI in educational settings, a framework for evaluatingthe quality and pedagogical value of AI-generated assessments, like MCQs and case studies, isproposed [2]. These tools are crucial for refining AI-generated content to meet the curriculum'sspecific needs and the diverse learning profiles of students in material science education, validatingthe utility and enhancing the effectiveness of AI-generated materials.The unveiling of AI-powered tools like ChatGPT has sparked considerable debate regarding theirimpact on the

LLMsuse a transformer model architecture instead of a CNN and the transformer architectures arecurrently being explored for use in computer vision applications. Models such as chatGPT (andothers) have also proven useful for programming code generation and productivity enhancement.These LLMs are of growing importance but are outside the scope of this project and paper.2. Deep Learning Curriculum and ProjectsThe specific goal of this project is to design and implement an instructional 7-week coursemodule to introduce deep learning and computer vision with a project-based orientation. Asmentioned, the target course is a senior-level engineering design course in

weighing its repercussions on human-machine dynamics. It sets the stage forfuture AEI research, emphasizing the significance of interdisciplinary studies to bring in a trulyhuman-centric and accountable AI paradigm. The research question at hand is: Can GenerativeAI, enriched by cross-disciplinary insights, take an intuitive leap to discern human emotions,driving us towards a more empathetic and ethical AI future?IntroductionThe evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent decades has been nothing short ofremarkable, marking a paradigm shift in how machines emulate tasks traditionally performed byhumans. Take, for example, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which has become a paradigm of AI’scapabilities in mimicking human-like conversational skills

more learner-centered and focusedon formative feedback rather than summative evaluation [1].As the world of technology continues to advance, a shift and embracement of new assessmentmethods is appropriate and necessary. For example, as of early 2022, the New York Timesreported that universities are now having to change the way they are teaching and assessingstudents because of the widespread availability of A.I. Chatbots such as ChatGPT [12]. WithinIE at Minnesota State University, Mankato, differential methods of assessment have beenemployed for over a decade and we want to share our experiences with oral exams to supportothers in embracing the changing world, better preparing engineering students for their futurepositions.Overview of
