In the realm of engineering, artificialintelligence (AI) has emerged as a crucial tool, demanding integration into educational settings.While challenges exist, the benefits of incorporating AI into the classroom far outweigh the risks.In engineering education, AI offers significant advantages when introduced thoughtfully. In anintroduction to computer programming class, three primary benefits of AI were highlighted.Firstly, AI can generate code based on simple prompts, introducing students to promptengineering—an essential skill in modern programming.

Theyhave usually spent the first two years of college rushing through all the humanities, socialstudies, and composition classes that they can to remove those from their radar. Now they havearrived at the time when many colleges accept them into the brother/sister hood of theprofession. They come with a wide perspective on engineering, a number of mathematicscourses, and in many cases nothing more.

When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real
