Session 3613 Laptop Computers and Curricula Integration Jerry A. Caskey Rose-Hulman Institute of TechnologyIntroductionFour years ago, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology required each entering freshman student topurchase a laptop computer. The class of 1999 was the first class to graduate under thisrequirement. Students now bring their laptops to class in much the same way as they broughtslide rules in former years and calculators in recent years. Each department has made use of thisnew technology in different ways. The chemical engineering department has made use
board member participation in courses and laboratories,capstone courses, accreditation, student organizations, student competitive teams, and facultydevelopment. Through this examination of the program’s efforts, other engineering educatorswill be able to build upon their successes and avoid some of their difficulties while involvingtheir industry advisory board members in other ways.IntroductionEngineering programs from all disciplines rely on their industry advisory board (IAB) membersto help ground curricula in the current and future needs of the profession. This “real world”advice can be invaluable to balancing theory versus application in the classroom, help programsstay abreast of technological and other trending factors in the workplace
; (3) boundaries around AI use, with some calling for aninternational regulation [7-9].Everybody’s Doing ItWhile scholars argue about what ‘authorship’ even means in the age of LLMS [10], what is clearis that STEM practitioners have been early adopters of this technology. Healthcare and medicalscientists warn that LLM-driven AI is an “experimental technology that is not ready for primetime,” [11-12] in the sense that it can only augment human decision making if it iterates within“an ethical, technical, and cultural framework for responsible design, development, anddeployment.”LLMs and Engineering EducationSelected educators are advocating for the use of transparent LLM-assisted report writing, findingmixed results and some benefits for

skills.The curriculum is modularly structured, which means that the program is delivered in a veryflexible manner. The flexibility is enhanced by the fact that the modules are smaller than threesemester-hour credit courses. As part of the integrated curriculum, the fluid power module isinterconnected with other modules. The relevance of the competencies developed in variousmodules is thus reinforced throughout the curriculum. As a result, the participant of the program(traditionally known as student) is expected to be able to relate each of the competencies to themanufacturing engineering.1.

Insights Learned from Conversion of Web-Based On-Line Courses Back to Traditional Classroom Presentations Harry C. Petersen, PhD Minnesota State University, MankatoABSTRACTManufacturing Engineering Technology classes at Minnesota State University in Mankato,Minnesota, including Industrial Safety, and Logistics, had been converted from traditionalclassroom presentations to web-based on-line classes. We discovered that there were someadvantages to on-line courses, such as enhancing presentations, grading homework, and assistingstudents who missed a class. But, due to time and budget problems and security concerns, theseclasses were later converted back to
