energy projects should be developed with the involvement of local communities and stakeholders.It is common to observe that the sentences generated by ChatPGT are often longer than those writtenby students. 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 student’s writing style and word choices are reflective of their verballexicon. If they do not use words and phrases

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.

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

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

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

Students identify partner communities in conjunction withVIP, evaluate contractors and negotiate drilling prices, draft construction plans and choose welllocations, and monitor wells post-construction. Through this process, students’ confidence intheir ability to make project decisions increases [1].
