numericalcomputational methods in designing solutions to structural, vibrational, electromagnetic,biomedical electromagnetics, computational fluid dynamics, and heat transfer is a noted problemfor some engineering graduates16-17. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology,Inc. (ABET, Inc.) expects engineering graduates to have “an ability to use the techniques, skills,and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice” such as FE analysis18. Hence, Page 26.145.4engineering schools have, or are planning to add FE analysis to their curricula, but these plansare not occurring fast enough to meet the demand of firms competing in the global

There was significant, real time trial and errorduring the first implementation. Now that we have taught the sequence once, we can improve thesequencing and alignment of the different assignments.In addition, students reported feeling burnt out at the end of the sequence. Part of the cause canbe addressed by the sequencing of content and assignments during the term. In the firstimplementation, the latter part of the quarter had too many simultaneous assignments. A moredifficult challenge is programmatic. Taking four core engineering courses at one time is a veryheavy load. Most of our students were taking a

To provide students with the skills directly relevant to theevolving needs of the biomedical industry, this project will develop and integrate applied bio-medical course content and experiments throughout the Rowan University Engineering curricu-lum.A plan is presented to introduce hands-on, biomedically-related experiments and course materi-als into the engineering curriculum, with a focus on artificial organs. These biomedical moduleswill be integrated throughout Rowan University’s engineering curriculum, into the multidiscipli-nary freshman engineering course, core engineering courses

. During this process, faculty are challenged to beginforming their CoPs before funding for faculty-led efforts is granted. Faculty must identify theshortcomings of the course and propose potential innovations that they will pursue. Theleadership and evaluation teams help the CoPs identify potential RBIS that may addressidentified shortcomings, but let faculty decide which RBIS (if any) to pursue. The evaluationteam concurrently helps faculty develop evaluation instruments to measure progress towardstated goals.At a minimum, CoPs are expected to meet on a regular basis (i.e., weekly) and commit to anevaluation plan. The goal of these commitments is for the faculty to create jointly-owned coursesthat will be delivered by various members of the CoP

Substantial progress was made in each of thethree groups resulting in specific recommendations and action items. One overarching recommendationwas again that there should be a third such workshop to address some of these specifics, and todisseminate progress that has been made in

However, inhomework, the students obtain a wider experience of testing other devices through the use ofdatasheets.A datasheet is a published test plan for a given device. Therefore, it is a perfect resource for thestudents to experience a multitude of testing methods. However, datasheets are terse and there isnot a standard for them. As a result, students are required to look at multiple specifications acrossthe datasheet to understand the testing conditions of a different specification.

These methods typically leverage numeric features ofstudents’ academic trajectories to train AI models. The advent of Transformer-based [7] largelanguage models (LLMs) [8, 9, 10, 11] has significantly expanded the potential for cross-domainapplications due to their extensive knowledge bases [12, 13] and complex task-solvingcapabilities through basic reasoning [9, 14, 15] and planning [16].
