graded exam, the students were given a laboratory assignment inwhich they interacted with ChatGPT-3.5 to obtain feedback on their MATLAB exam. Qualitativedata on the students’ experiences with the use of ChatGPT as a tool in studying were collectedand analyzed. The results revealed that while students found the capabilities of ChatGPTintriguing, they remained skeptical in the output and reasoning given in regard to their MATLABassignment.1 IntroductionIn November of 2022, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, a natural language processing model, to theworld. Two months later, it gained 100 million users, making it the fastest growing consumer appin history [1]. The name stems from the model’s dependence on the Generative Pre-trainedTransformer (GPT
. The time spent comparing numerical methodsalways seemed less valuable than giving students time to use the methods, particularly whencomparing to a measured structural response. Thus, the inquiry-based approach to teaching blastloads was developed and is described here.Assessment of the impact of this innovation was performed by scrutinizing performance on anexam question involving blast load response of a hypothetical steel frame structure during thisyear, when the blast loading lab was performed, and a prior year when a different lab wasincluded. Student laboratory reports for this year, when the lab was conducted, were examinedqualitatively for the intervention group, but no control group was available since a blast loadinglaboratory had

PBL is of significant impact practices in teaching and learning [13]. Such alearning experience can be of benefit to students by consisting of these components relevant toengineering education: 1. making clear the PBL goals for knowledge, understanding, and skills, 2. providing engaging problems at a suitable level of challenge and open-endedness to motivate students, 3. allowing for sufficient time to for students to explore and learn new topics in terms of breadth and depth, 4. motivating students by relating to real-world problems to allow for authentic

The capstone final reports, presentations, and producthad the largest role in the student work evaluation, but the process and design reviews were alsoimportant. Recently Mintz [5] recognized that the students’ needs and goals are changing and calledon faculty to transform teaching and assessment approaches to the new reality. There has been ashift from relatively homogeneous to highly diverse classrooms and recognize that a one-size-fits-all teaching pedagogy won’t work. Therefore, it is essential for faculty to continuously monitorstudent learning and diagnosing

Leveraging existing research and the current LearningAssistants and Graders program at the institution, the study focuses on efficiently andincrementally implementing UTAs in our school's first three programming courses (CS1, CS2,and CS3).

The most common approach has been to incorporatelearning modules on ethics in the context of process safety [5]. The way in which process safetyis taught to students depends on the department (and university), with some schools having adedicated process safety course while others teach it as part of the senior design course. Teachingstudents about the concepts of ethical decision making in the context of process safety makes sensefrom an educational perspective, in part, due to the ongoing efforts to instill a culture of safety inall young chemical engineers [5].
