Such a controlled GUI is also beneficial from an experimental contextwhere consistency in implementation is of critical importance. Finally, it should be noted thatsuch an environment allows for strict control over the types of information students can sharewith an LLM, thus maintaining student privacy.Integration of Personalized Learning in Engineering Education through LLMsThe integration of PL into engineering education through advanced AI and LLMs represents atransformative yet nascent field.

This leads to the discussion of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT [8], emphasizing their engineering applications. Students learn to use ChatGPT’s API to integrate NLP into workflows, with a Python example showing how to send prompts, receive responses, and maintain conversational context by including prior interactions. These hands-on examples help MET students understand the practical applications of NLP tools like LLMs in solving engineering problems. • Topic 8: Reinforcement Learning (RL) – The last topic

The game serves as an interactive and enjoyablesupplement to aid the learning process of different languages for elementary-aged children. At its core,the application uses a translation Application Programming Interface (API) to process text and outputtranslations in the target language chosen by the learner. Additionally, it is AI-enabled, allowing theutilization of APIs such as OpenAIs’s ChatGPT to enhance the translation capabilities.

However, the growing influence of generative AI tools like ChatGPT has also raised concernsregarding academic integrity and appropriate use, particularly among younger learners [16].Rather than viewing AI solely as a threat to traditional education models, recent efforts advocate for itsresponsible integration to enrich learning environments [11]. Strategies such as developing custom AIchatbots aligned with educational objectives offer pathways to maintain academic rigor while leveragingthe strengths of AI technologies [17]. At the forefront of this movement, work presented at the AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) has demonstrated the effective use of custom generative AIchatbots as course resources [18], [19

Intelligence (AI) is no longer a subject of science fiction or a niche for specializedindustries. AI permeates everyday life, impacting how people work, communicate, and solveproblems locally and globally [1]. AI applications in higher education have grown significantlyin recent years, as evidenced by the adoption of AI-driven instructional design tools andapplications (e.g., Khan Academy's Khanmigo, ChatGPT for Education, MagicSchool), AI-enabled scientific literature search engines (e.g., Semantic Scholar, Consensus), collaborativeapplications (e.g., MS Teams), smart AI features in learning management systems (e.g., Canvas),and AI-based assistants (e.g., Grammarly, Canva).The widespread infusion of generative AI (GenAI) specifically marked a new

Generative AI involvestraining a machine learning model on large amounts of data to learn the underlying patterns andthen using that learning to generate new content that has not been seen before.One example of generative AI is the ChatGPT language model developed by OpenAI, which hasbeen recognized for its ability to produce text that appears to be written by humans [15]. Recentadvancements in generative AI have shown significant potential in several fields, includinghealthcare, where generative models have been used to generate synthetic medical images [16],and robotics, where

Additionally, as Large Language Models (LLMs) increase and rapidly develop, manyorganizations and researchers compete to create more powerful and advanced GAI models.These new models aim to outperform older versions [22]. GAI models come as applications ortools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Bard to name a few. One key example is the GPTmodel, which has gone through versions 3, 3.5, and now 4, each with different capabilities [22].When new GPT versions are released, they often gain new features, capabilities, and parameterscompared to previous versions [22].
