attention, there is limited peer-reviewed literature related toChatGPT and its impact on engineering education. Searching the Journal of EngineeringEducation archives and ASEE Conference Proceedings through PEER for the term “ChatGPT”or “generative AI” yielded no results. We describe a few notable exceptions below that arerelated to our work. Reference [5] provides examples of how ChatGPT can be used in bothtechnical and creative writing courses and highlights the importance of being able to ask goodquestions (prompts) of large language models.

Instructors haveinvolved students in 1) individual and collaborative activities with hands-on, experiential,problem-based or inquiry-based components and 2) feedback strategies using peer feedback andinstructor feedback [2],[3]. These active learning and collaborative pedagogies enhanceinteraction and increase student engagement with content and peers and better learning andachievement in in-person, blended, and online STEM courses [4], [5], [3].Even with such innovative pedagogies and resulting higher grades, STEM students may feelunsatisfied with the course experience citing lack of interaction as the main reason [6

Osborn and Nag claim that this approach aligns better with both Maslow's Hierarchy ofNeeds as well as Bloom's Taxonomy of Thinking, and though limited in their exploration ofthese approaches, they have seen promising preliminary successes.When specifically discussing first-year engineering courses, it is important to consider factorsbeyond teaching and learning styles, such as the ability of students to build relationships withtheir peers.

Prior to beginning work on thisproject, students are given opportunities to work with a variety of peers during class activitiesand then given structured time during class to form a team of two or three total members. Thisproject provides students a framework for exploring problem spaces of which they share mutualcuriosity, developing multiple ideas to address this problem, discuss their ideas with experts,develop and deliver an inspiring pitch, and write a brief implementation plan and complete abusiness model outline.The second assessment is an active learning, peer teaching activity [7].

However, all the information related to engineering experiences are only disseminatedtraditionally in the form of peer-reviewed scholarly manuscripts, which has limited impact to those whochoose to read such literature. Given the current socio-political climate in the aftermath of two pandemics(i.e., racism-20 and COVID -19), greater awareness of the ways students from traditionally marginalizedgroups in higher education interact and make sense of their environments is of paramountimportance.

We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) empowered engineering student organizations, which will make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) actionable organizational policies and effective practices
