-quality massproduction system, optimizes for efficiency by standardizing processes. In undergraduateengineering degree programs, this is apparent from the relatively inflexible standard curricularpaths within any given major and the use of midterm and final exams as “go or no-go”measurement gauges to determine which “products” (students) are of sufficient quality to moveonto the next step (or class) in the assembly line of curricular requirements. An important aspectof this factory model is that colleges are systematically indifferent as to which students graduateand which go elsewhere since standardization of the process and objective assessments arepresumed to ensure fair treatment for all students.This paper integrates findings across student

literature review embarks on an exploratory journey into the realm of employing Chat GPTto augment critical thinking skills within the context of programming classes. As moderneducation continues its digital transformation, integrating AI-driven conversational agents, suchas Chat GPT, stands out as a promising pedagogical avenue.The review begins by dissecting the learning experience phases where Chat GPT exhibits itsutility. Within the preliminary programming coursework phases, Chat GPT is invaluable as aknowledge repository and interactive tool for novice learners. It helps clarify programmingconcepts, troubleshoot code, and encourage a nuanced understanding of algorithms. In advancedphases, when students confront complex coding challenges, Chat

STUDENT RETENTION AND SATISFACTION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE SERVICE COURSES WHEN USING COMPETENCY-BASED GRADING AND ASSIGNMENT CHOICEAbstractEnrollment in introductory engineering courses, for non-Computer Science majors, often evokesapprehension, particularly when faced with the prospect of learning programming. The presenceof peers with prior coding experience can further compound these concerns. This study,applicable to a broad spectrum of engineering service courses, centers on student assignmentchoice within an undergraduate CS-1 curriculum.

in writing scientific manuscripts are being developed [1-2], but its use as an instructional aid for teaching scientific writing is less understood [3]. Forbiomedical engineering (BME), technical writing is particularly important: they need to masterboth engineering and scientific approaches to written communication across multiple formats tovarious audiences. We have previously developed evidence-based technical writing modules,tailored to BME students, and vertically integrated them throughout our core curriculum [4].These modules were developed before widespread AI availability. To develop guidelines oninstructional AI use, we first need to understand students’ 1) perception on its utility and ethicaluse and 2) prior and current use of AI

. [9] had similar findings inaddition to finding that many instructors stated if the instructors thought the extra-creditassignments were useful for students then they should simply be required.With these perspectives considered, it is clear that many instructors have concerns regarding howextra credit assignments should be integrated into a curriculum, if at all. Zare [10] suggests thatsome of these concerns can be mitigated by making the work commensurate with the extra points,clearly communicating the special nature of those assignments, and setting clear limits on howmuch will be offered in the syllabus. Similarly, Burke [11] implemented a semester-longextra-credit assignment to mitigate his concerns that extra credit would be used as an

Furthermore,the study reveals that the STEM literacy of rural teachers serves as an intermediarybetween their teaching beliefs and evaluation approaches. In addition, the academiccourse subject instructed by these educators acts as a moderator in the relationship,underscoring the integration of humanities with STEM disciplines to achieve abalanced and comprehensive education.

The consensus is particularly difficult due to many underlying factors, such as thepurpose of teaching engineering students a programming language [9], future needs within thediscipline [10], and current trends in the industry [11], to list a few of the factors. Due to thesefactors, many universities across the globe, particularly in the United States, adopt one of the twooptions: 1) decide on a programming language for all engineering students enrolled in theengineering degree, or 2) offer multiple options to the students and let students choose thelanguage based on availability, and
