robotics in industry and society highlights the importance ofrobotics education as part of the STEM curriculum. The barriers presented by the costand complexity of physical robots have led to the exploration of alternative solutions, suchas simulation-based learning. The FORE platform represents a significant advancementin this area, providing an accessible, scalable, and comprehensive solution to teachingrobotics. By integrating coding, simulation, and interactive lessons, the platform em-powers students to develop the skills needed for success in the evolving field of robotics.2 Related WorkRobotics education has long been a challenging field due to the high costs associated withphysical robots, limited access to resources, and the

addresses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) topics intointroductory engineering courses. With the proliferation of AI in everyday life, it is important tointroduce the topic early in the engineering curriculum. This paper focuses on generative AI andmachine learning topics using two different educational strategies. The objective of this researchwas to explore students’ comprehension of AI and their motivation to engage in AI learning afterbeing introduced to AI tools.In a first-semester project engineering course, generative AI was introduced as a tool. Studentswere guided on the ethical and effective use of generative AI and were encouraged to discuss itslimitations. Students had the option to use generative AI for their writing

Similarly, another study [9] demonstrated its ability to evaluate students’ essays likehuman graders.As LLMs continue to transform various aspects of education, one critical area where theirpotential remains largely unexplored is their ability to help in curriculum design, particularly inevaluating learning objectives (LOs) [10]. Writing and implementing good LOs are essential foraligning the three aspects of curriculum design: course content, assessments, and instructionalstrategies [11]. The LOs provide a framework for students and instructors to ensure that learningoutcomes are clearly defined and achievable. These basic building blocks can guide towards thesequence that

With these in place, practitioners caneffectively develop and implement educational systems that leverage AI’s potential in areas suchas immediate feedback and personalized learning support. This approach can enhance the qualityof students’ educational experiences while preserving the integrity of the learning process with AI.1 Introduction and BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have emerged as a growing resource in educational settings.Advances in large language models (LLMs) have enhanced AI chatbots’ ability to understand andrespond to academic queries, driving their increased adoption in educational settings and sparkinggreater research interest.

A notable example is OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a large language model trained togenerate human-like text responses, assisting students and educators in various academic tasks,including writing, coding, and content summarization [4]. While several generative AI models,such as Google Bard and Anthropic's Claude, offer similar capabilities, ChatGPT is known for itswidespread adoption in educational contexts, its advanced natural language processingcapabilities, and its frequent integration into learning management systems and academicworkflows.

The value ofcollaborative research lies in its capacity to enhance students' social management skills.According to El Kouzi and McArthur, students develop a positive attitude towardslearning activities enhanced with augmented reality, exhibiting enthusiasm andliveliness [16]. Augmented reality's primary benefit lies in its capacity to merge digitalelements with the physical world, providing users with an immersive experience thatseamlessly integrates virtual sensations into their environment, as opposed to solelydisplaying information [17].
