to computational speeds have made it more powerful [1, 2].Machine learning (ML) generally refers to algorithms (e.g., linear regression, non-linearregression, random forest) that turn input data into output data, and in doing so, achieve AIgoals. ML algorithms typically require tens to hundreds of data points. Deep learning can beconsidered a part of ML, and both fit in the broader term of AI. Deep learning algorithms(e.g., neural networks) typically work on thousands of data points and are, as such, used in‘big data’ engineering applications.AI-powered technologies are becoming more prevalent in daily life and the workforce,making it crucial to understand and adapt to using new large language model (LLM) tools,such as Chat Generative Pre

Electromagnetic experiments are usually reserved for graduate courses,specialized in high-frequency circuit analysis and/or wireless technologies. Some schools offeradvanced-EM courses as electives; there, circuit design software can be used to draw andsimulate EM structures (e.g. microstrip circuits). Schools equipped with a milling machine canexport those drawings and etch radio-frequency (RF) and millimeter-wave designs (e.g.amplifiers, couplers) [2]. In a dedicated lab course, students
