artificial intelligence tools?A survey was given to first-year mechanical engineering students at the California PolytechnicState University, San Luis Obispo. The response rate to the anonymous survey was 69%. Theresults reveal that 42% of first-year mechanical engineering students are already using generativeAI tools, with 75% planning to use generative AI tools in the future. The primary usesby students include idea generation, educational support, and writing assistance. While 61%acknowledge AI's potential for facilitating cheating, 70% believe these tools can enhancelearning when used appropriately. The prevailing view among first-year mechanical engineeringstudents is that generative AI, when employed responsibly, can enhance the learning

courses in most engineering programs.Similarly, but not as specifically, technical electives allow students to tailor their technicaleducation to specialize in a subdiscipline of their broader major. An advantage of specializing ina subdiscipline is the opportunity for the students to build a depth of knowledge in an area thatstudents taking a more general approach to an engineering discipline may not gain. Additionally,students can take courses that might not be directly related, but that would provide them with aset of skills that they feel will give them an edge in their planned career. This approach mightnot lead to a recognized concentration, but the student could describe their work in electivecourses to potential employers as they seek a

professional scrutiny and critiqueThe overlap between these two lists is considerable. A couple of important features on the NRClist are 1) the importance and role of theory and 2) the line of reasoning. Together, they provideexcellent guidance for planning, conducting, and reporting engineering education research.The overriding question facing the AREE developers and researchers (Norman Fortenberry, KarlSmith, Alisha Waller, Ann McKenna, Susan Donohue, Beth Cady, and Wendy Knapp) was,what can be done to help build the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to conduct high-qualityengineering education research?AREE’s mission was to provide access to resources and to engage the engineering educationresearch community in a consensus-seeking conversation

aspects of development planning of oil and gas fields. Both onshore andoffshore fields are considered, focusing on regional carbonate fields that are known to be themost challenging ones in the industry. As a result, students get the chance to practice all theyhave learned during their studies in the PETE program to complete a one-year-long and detailedenough field development project. Teams of three-to-four students work together in eachcapstone design project. In this project, multiple instructors and industry professionals areinvolved, but they only work as mentors, and the students are the ones who lead all the projectwork. The development plan includes reservoir modeling, performance analysis, simulation,production, drilling, economic

It employed Kitchenham and Charters guiding principles to plan, conduct, andreport on the status of high school AI literacy research. Following an extensive search acrossleading academic databases simply using the terms “high school” AND “artificial intelligence,”1,943 articles were initially found. Strong inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed toensure the selection of articles that only related to research primarily focused on high school AIliteracy. After rigorous screening for relevance and availability, we selected 16 articles related tohigh school AI literacy.We

issues about the underlying philosophy of engineering and engineering education [1].Coming to the fore, from all the division’s activities, these three factors combine to form theultimate drivers to technological and engineering literacy / philosophy of engineering. Thus,with a division and membership already knowledgeable of these three factors, the ultimatemeasure of the success of all that which the division has accomplished will be the ability of thedivision to move into a more public focus.Normally, these discussion points would lead to the development of an organizational structure,attendant positions, and an operating plan aimed at their achievement.

This includes our plans to integrate the enhanced framework into a larger digitalliteracy pilot program that is optionally offered to all first-year engineering students at theSchulich School of Engineering. This strategic integration seeks to create a holistic educationalapproach to technology usage that addresses not only technical skills but also cultivates anuanced understanding of technology-life balance among first year engineering students.

processes visually benefit learners with visual proficiency abilities. Becauseof this, teaching students’ visual literacy, which means the capacity to decode, understand andcreate graphic images or messages, is of utmost importance, especially for those who plan theinformation, like instructors.Visual literacy has been defined in several ways in the literature. These definitions originated fromseveral fields, and those fields helped provide the groundwork for visual literacy. Hortin [8]defined visual literacy in 1980 as the capacity to use and comprehend visuals and to study andthink conceptually. In 1973, Case Gant coined the term “visual literacy” to describe a collectionof skills that enable individuals to understand, produce, and read graphical

programs were required to demonstrate they met. The key difference with the prior detailedaccreditation process was to increase flexibility – programs had considerable latitude in defining how theymet the eight criteria and how they planned to improve upon their self-imposed metrics. Subsequentevaluation in the years immediately following the roll-out of EC-2000 indicated that changingaccreditation processes had in fact enacted changes in how degree programs operated and what they did,even down to the level of the classroom [2], [11].Broadly speaking, engineering programs are evaluated on eight separate criteria. Some criteria are relatedto the effectiveness of processes, some to having access to sufficient resources, and others to defining

When added to a social foundations of engineeringcourse, it supports the elaboration of goals and processes that are transparent and sustainable,granting that each of these terms also have varying degrees of interpretation. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 14
