coursework. Thereare strong arguments on both sides of this debate. Some believe that the use of artificial intelligenceto complete coursework is an academic integrity violation and should not be used, while othersbelieve artificial intelligence can be used ethically and within academic integrity standards to be aresource for students. And of course, there are academics that stand somewhere in between. Thelack of clarity on the use of AI in the classroom and the disjointed opinions among professors, evenwithin the same college or university, has led to confusion among students on whether ChatGPT istaboo or a powerful tool. To try and understand whether students that are majoring in ArchitecturalEngineering should be introduced to AI Chatbots, a

Engineering and Physics DepartmentAbstractOur department, which offers an Engineering Physics program, with majors in ElectricalSystems, Mechanical Systems, and Physics, as well as a Biomedical Engineering program,requires all of its majors to enroll in a two-hour “Introduction to Engineering and Laboratory”course that integrates lecture, laboratory, and design components. The objective of thelaboratory and design experiences is to prepare freshmen and transfer students for upper-levelengineering laboratory courses, as well as senior design courses, required for our majors. Eachlaboratory module, presented during two-hour laboratory sessions, at a rate of one module perweek, provides either an introduction to concepts and tools required to complete

Every course is assigned a dedicated groupof peer mentors who assist instructors and students during lectures and hold separate mentoringsessions every week. The curriculum for the Computing Applications minor (aka PINC minor) consists of thefollowing five courses, and the recommended course sequence is as follows: Fall (Year 1, Semester 1) ● CSc 306: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Computer Programming Spring (Year 1, Semester 2) ● CSc 219: Data Structures and Algorithms Fall (Year 2, Semester 3) ● CSc 308: An Interdisciplinary

course in question, Structure of Materials, is an entry point intothe undergraduate curriculum in materials science and engineering (MSE) taken by mostprospective major students in the autumn of their second year of study. Being a gateway sciencecourse, it is important for students to develop a deep conceptual understanding of foundationaltopics before they embark on more advanced coursework. Structure of Materials is also taken bystudents from other departments, most notably from biomedical engineering, who can take it asan elective as part of a focused group of courses on biomaterials. These students are typically at amore advanced level of study (third or fourth year) than the MSE majors.The primary instructor has taught Structure of
