This paper presents the results of a survey on students’ perceptions ofand experience with Generative AI/ChatGPT. Identical surveys were administered to students intwo different sections of the same junior-level writing course for engineering majors. In onesection, students were given prior instruction in the focused, ethical use of ChatGPT with aspecial emphasis on Generative AI’s professional impact. These students were then asked topractice prompt engineering using the CLEAR framework described by Lo [1]: Concise, Logical,Explicit, Adaptive, Reflective

Exploring these vast, multi–dimensional processing spaces by trial–and–errorexperimentation – even for well–studied materials – is not feasible on reasonable time scales.Thus, considerable interest exists in the development of machine learning–based approaches forthe rapid and accurate identification of optimal materials designs and synthesis conditions.

ability of engineering students. This paper is part of a larger, NSF-funded research study that examines the quality of students’ written and oral communicationskills and seeks to understand their relationship to the students’ spatial abilities.First-year engineering students in their second semester at a large R1 Midwestern universitywere examined. Students were tasked with creating a written report responding to a set ofquestions that asked about their team-based engineering design project completed in their firstsemester. As this occurred months prior, this non-graded report became a reflection on theirexperience and innate abilities. While low stakes, it mimicked a more authentic writingexperience students encounter in industry. Students

where environmental factorsoften lead. In these senior design projects, the Economic dimension dominates. A substantialnumber of projects have ‘Good’ incorporating economic sustainability, which could reflect acurriculum or project objectives that heavily emphasize cost-effectiveness, financial viability,and possibly the market impacts of the designs. While not as prominent as the economic,environmental sustainability still shows a significant presence, especially in the ‘Good’ and‘Fair’ categories. This indicates that environmental considerations are taken seriously, aligningwith global concerns about ecological impact, though they are seemingly secondary to economicfactors. Social sustainability is notably less represented, especially in

subjects were asked to reflect on the approaches to leadership used by others (such asdepartment head, dean, etc.) in their departments and university. The focus of the first set ofquestions was on the subject’s understanding of the concept of leadership both in theory and inpractice. In addition to questions about leadership, we asked a series of questions aboutchange-making processes, such as the process they used themselves, their assessment ofanother’s person’s skills as an agent of change, the process for change making in theirdepartment, and the relationship between formal authority and the process of change. This lastquestion was intended to understand the individual’s views of the importance of formalauthority in making change. The

Education Experiential learning, most simply defined as learning by doing, can occur in multiplecontexts at the university level. For example, many undergraduates have opportunities for hands-on laboratory time, internships, and service-learning programs. Through these experiences,ideally four stages should occur: participating in the experience, reflecting about the experience,conceptualizing (understanding) what they experienced, and applying what they learned in asimilar setting [6]. When bringing experiential learning into the classroom, particularly within acourse focused on engineering design, it can integrate authentic learning experiences intostudents’ plan of study and daily lives [1].

This reflects the literature's suggestion that solving complex problems requires abalance between systematic methods and flexible thinking [9].Decision TreesThe use of decision trees was mentioned as a specific diagnostic technique, providing astructured framework for decision-making.

Our goal is to reflect on our lived experiences and inspire future students andacademics to cultivate such communities to broaden participation and enhance researchcapability. We adopt the Community of Practice (CoP) as the theoretical framework and opt forcomparative ethnographic narrative analysis as the method in this paper. Specifically, we focusedon the following dimensions of two communities led by the two authors: (1) the origin andpurpose; (2) the characteristics; and (3) practices. Our findings suggest that

Yet, the opportunities to develop, sustain, and grow one’sengineering identity are not uniformly distributed across students enrolled in engineering programs, nor evenamong those select students offered the opportunities to participate in mentored engineering researchinterventions [4]. Indeed, engineering students from underrepresented and structurally marginalized groups may have feweraccess points to engage with engineering peers, mentors, and professionals prior to and during their collegiatestudies [5-7]. These challenges can compound for students who may be underrepresented on multipledimensions in this field, seeing their personal identities reflected less often in their intended engineering careers(e.g., gender, sexuality

Earlier studies amongst thisstudent population indicate that when they engage in project-based learning, their self-efficacyto design and to build increases significantly [4], and this effect is strong enough to manifesteven when the project-based approach is offered online [5]. However, it is worth expandingthe view of what constructs are most relevant to this set of students. The self-efficacy constructwas designed in the Western context, and some argue that it reflects motivation rather thanperceived capability [6], motivating a broadened scope of what constructs may be most apt.Drawing from the author’s observations

According to Gilbert [3], compassion is a sensitivity to suffering in oneselfand others and a steadfast commitment to alleviate and prevent that suffering. Drawing from the ethicalframework proposed by Campbell [5], which defines care as "active compassion, empathy, and concernfor the well-being of other living (and in some cases non-living) things" [p. 112], this paper explorescompassion as an essential component of ethical engineering practice.While engineering ethics has traditionally emphasized the importance of reflecting on the broaderconsequences of technological advancements, compassion extends beyond cognitive reflection.
