The use of AI to help solve engineering problems as a collaboration tool is being used inengineering classrooms at increased frequency, hence the motivation of this paper to look at theuse of AI in developing professional skills in engineering undergraduate education. Using AI asprompts to help students draft papers or laboratory reports is starting to emerge in undergraduateengineering programs, although using AI to teach or enhance professional skills seems to be anew area of research [5]. One paper found that the typical use and extent of using generative AIin engineering classes based on student surveys [6] and the general impact of AI incommunication skills training has been

Students are better motivated by early exposure to engineering subjects. Theyappreciated mathematics more, realizing its applications to physical problems.

This course has a laboratory that requiresvarying preparation time depending on the experiment being conducted, the condition of theequipment and the difficulty of the theories and procedures involved. Another course tends tohave topics or themes that continue over several weeks requiring preparation for several classperiods at one time.

In the long term, it will be addressed with the hiring of a newundergraduate design faculty, who will be able to fully dedicate the necessary time to thesecourses.SummaryWe have implemented a sequence of courses so that students can develop skills in modern designand manufacturing. Students learn these skills through traditional lecturing, and moreimportantly, through hands on projects and challenges in the design lab.

The result was thriving university research at facilities that were well connected.The first academic computer activity consisted of course offerings to graduate studentsfollowing the war.

Students exploreanalog signal processing in the form of filtering and amplification. They construct asimple RC circuit to filter the pulse waveform and investigate the effects of a varyingtime constant on the information content (and noise) in the signal. An operationalamplifier is also used and students demonstrate the gain adjustment that is possible byselecting different resistor values.
