This points to a group of students gaining AI literacythrough the class and then deciding to no longer use it. An example of a student who was part ofthis group and reflected this sentiment: “I don't like it in general. It may have its uses, but overallI don't like the growing trend of relying on AI for skills that we should be developing ourselvesduring college. I also have my doubts about any ethically sound way to use it.”Our survey answers reflect a high degree of skepticism and belief that the generated text is notreliable in contextual and scientific content.

complex task of identifying keywords. However, LLMs such as ChatGPT can also produceerroneous output [5]. A common problem with LLMs is their tendency to hallucinate, a problemthat may be inherent to their architecture [6]. Borji defines eleven types of LLM errors, includingproblems with reasoning, logic, humor, ethics, and bias [7]. The evidence of LLM bias, includingracial bias, is particularly troubling. For example, LLMs show prejudice related to dialect markersassociated with Black English [8] and stereotypes associated with student names [9]. Thisevidence of bias suggests that caution is warranted when LLMs are used in any task wherejudgement is required.1.3 AI in Education ResearchTo date, there has been limited research on the potential

One challenge is that manyengineering faculty do not have a strong background in ST / SE fundamentals. These instructorsmay feel uncomfortable developing, delivering, and assessing ST / SE content in their courses. Asecond difficulty is that, similar to design and ethics education, multiple coordinated interventionsacross the curriculum provide better learning than a single standalone experience.
