relationships are better understood [2]. Increasingly, there is emphasis onteaching systems thinking to engineers, so that they may better understand the broader impacts ofthe technologies they develop, and better share this understanding within multidisciplinary teamsand with stakeholders [3].Bioengineering is a discipline in chemical engineering that focuses on using microbial orenzymatic processes to transform biological material into industrial products [4]. Thesebio-based products are positioned as renewable alternatives to traditional petrochemical products[4]. Adoption of new biotechnologies and products may help us reduce greenhouse gasemissions, in line with the goals set out in global agreements on climate change management [5,6, 7]. However

ArtificialIntelligence (AI) tools to answer a wide array of questions with reasonable accuracy by an AItool. Furthermore, the rapid inclusion of this technology into Computer Science practice requiresinvestigating how it can affect our pedagogical strategies. With the rise of Large Language Model(LLM) based Generative AI tools (Gen-AI), they have shown tremendous efficiency in solvingComputer Science-related questions found in common course curricula. Thus, this paper presentsa novel investigation into the performance of these Gen-AI tools within the context of two coursesin the Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE) undergraduate curricula at MiamiUniversity.We introduce a systematic benchmarking methodology to measure LLM performance againstcourse
