To enhance participation, efforts should be madeto make office hours more accessible and less intimidating and clearly communicate that help isavailable for all students [1].Another study [2] investigated student barriers to attending office hours in STEM classes. Themost common reason cited was students not having questions or feeling a full understanding ofthe course content, possibly reflecting overestimation of their own abilities. Many notedstructural barriers, such as conflicting schedules with other classes or activities. This emphasizesthe importance of flexible scheduling to accommodate diverse student timetables.

The overall flow of the sentences and paragraph are more coherent than normal, and keywords are used throughout the writing. Overall the AI-assisted writing is considered to be excellent.A negative observation is that writing is non-natural for the student. An example of non-natural wordchoice is the underlined “disproportionately borne” which is a phrase not expected in the student’sverbal communication.

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.

These capabilities can help researchers save time and effort, allowing them to focuson the more creative and analytical aspects of their work (Lund et al., 2023).There are several ethical and privacy implications to consider when using ChatGPT or otherlarge language models in academic settings. One concern is the potential for bias in the model'sresponses, as it may reflect the biases present in the training data. Additionally, there areconcerns about the privacy of individuals whose data was used to train the model, as well as thepotential for the model to be used for nefarious purposes

Interrogate and disrupt the sociocultural basis of their discipline, drawing upon knowledge and perspectives, discourses and methodologies from diverse cultures. This outcome will be accomplished through discussion and feedback in a community of learning with colleagues, the use of gamified activities, the revision of teaching artifacts as well as through opportunities for self-reflection on the pedagogies that are traditionally assumed to be the standard for that discipline. This learning outcome encourages participants to look for perspectives that are traditionally excluded and not centered in

The normaland shear displacement of the fasteners were recorded along with the corresponding force appliedto the test fixture. The data collected from these experiments showed that the fasteners in tensiondominated loads failed at significantly higher loads as compared to fasteners in shear dominatedloading. IntroductionThe importance of fasteners in mechanical assemblies cannot be understated [5]. However, thissignificance is not reflected in the reasonably limited published works and technical papers onquasi-statically
