, SDT is a theory that was created to examine whyhumans are consistently motivated to grow and how this is impacted by their personality, makingthe theory well-suited to apply to the context of student motivation to learning. Specifically, SDTposits that an individual’s task performance and well-being change based on the motivation theyhave for that task.Through rigorous empirical testing, three innate and fundamental psychological needs have beenidentified for all human beings. Needs are “the nutriments that are essential for optimal humandevelopment and integrity” [30, p. 337], [31], including competence, autonomy, and relatedness[30] - [32]. Competence is the feeling of acting or performing effectively within an environmentor task [32]. In

Boundaries of Engineering Education.AbstractGenerative artificial intelligence (GAI) has long been used across various fields; however, itsusage in engineering education has been limited. Some areas where GAI tools have beenimplemented in education include intelligent tutoring, assessment, predicting, curriculum design,and personalized student learning. The recent proliferation of CHATGPT and other GAI toolspresents limitless possibilities for transforming engineering pedagogy and assessment. At thesame time, there are challenges associated with implementation. Consequently, there is a need toconduct an empirical study to evaluate these tools' strengths, limitations, and challenges tohighlight potential opportunities for their application in

called dataset augmentation. This method introduces variations into the dataset throughthe application of either geometric transformations or kernel filtering operations [11]. Commongeometric transformations encompass resizing, flipping, and stretching images, among others,whereas kernel filtering operations involve actions such as blurring and altering the overall reso-lution of the image. In our specific approach, we opted for kernel filtering over geometric trans-formations to preserve the integrity of the hand landmarks.For the data annotation process, we leveraged MMPose to generate annotations in the specifiedformat.

This includes understanding AI algorithms, data analysis, machine learning, and automation.While AI offers significant benefits, concerns regarding job displacement due to automationremain.

To avoid ambiguities in thisregard, it is vital that each educational institution and faculty establish clear guidelinesdistinguishing acceptable and unacceptable use of ChatGPT in courses. This information shouldbe included in the curriculum of all courses, not only with the goal of preventing ethical conflictsbut also to reduce students' uncertainty on the matter. These guidelines ensure that thetechnology is used as an educational tool that supports learning rather than circumventing it.
