education.IntroductionThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into modernengineering practices has created an urgent need for engineers with AI/ML skills to tacklechallenges in automation, robotics, preventive maintenance, defect detection, system optimization,and beyond. This integration underscores the transformative potential of AI/ML in engineeringeducation, necessitating curriculum advancements to prepare students for the evolvingtechnological landscape [1]. This need is driven not only by industry demands but also by students,who increasingly see AI/ML expertise as vital for their future careers and expect opportunities toapply these skills in real-world engineering projects.

every spring semester since.One research-cited reason that collegiate students leave engineering is a lack of engineering-related experiences during the first year of the program. Conventional first-year engineeringcurricula require students to complete multiple gateway courses prior to beginning disciplinarycoursework. These courses oftentimes deal with abstract material with little perceivedengineering context. As a result, students end up believing that all engineering courses will besimilar, and some ultimately leave for other professional arenas where applications can beunderstood much earlier in academic career(s). A key motivating factor in developing ENGR 111was to augment student desire to persist in engineering degree pursuit, by

Sorby expresses thisgoal of engineering education as follows: “It is time that we as educators take a long, critical look at ourvalues and curricula to ensure that we are preparing students for careers that exist today and for futurecareers” [2]. Sorby is aligned with many who believe that less emphasis on theory and more emphasis onspecific tools and problem-solving strategies would be more beneficial for career readiness.The Grinter Report should be commended for its willingness to ask difficult questions of itsrecommendations including the question of career readiness.

By presenting engineering-focused challenges, students were able tobridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This approach not onlyfostered deeper comprehension but also significantly increased engagement, helping students toconnect computing principles to their future careers. As a result, we observed improvements inboth retention and academic performance.The second approach involved the
