Next,feedback was separated by years (2017-2019, 2020-2023, and 2024) based on the different EarlyDiscovery program formats and input into Open AI software (ChatGPT), with the command ofidentifying the most frequently used words. These frequently used words were inserted into aword cloud generator website (https://www.freewordcloudgenerator.com/) to visually representthese terms. The final word cloud result provides a visual of the student feedback and keytakeaways from their experiences.Results and DiscussionThe three different Early Discovery program formats have their own goals, frameworks,benefits, and limitations (RQ1)To determine which Early Discovery

Inaddition, using technology and artificial intelligence AI tools (ChatGPT, Grammarly, and so on)helps overcome these writing challenges.The absence or lack of a proper understanding of academic writing may cause respondents to applytheir preexisting assumptions, opinions, and methods that have provided them with confidence andreliability when faced with academic challenges like writing a research paper [49].

. Students generated a wall ofideas, with over three hundred ideas written on brightly colored sticky notes. For the initialideation round, students were asked to think of societal problems without the assistance of theirphones or computers. After they seemed exhausted thinking on their own, with 5-10 ideas each,they were next directed to use available resources to gather ideas. Facilitators suggested thatstudents review UN Sustainable Development Goals and explore global grand challenge lists.In the third ideation phase, students were guided to use generative AI applications and to recordand share their iteration process in prompting. The decision to support the exploration of productideas with ChatGPT was not made lightly. Aligned with

time.Holly mentions “doing research” a few times throughout her interview but is vague aboutwhat this entails. When pushed for details, she describes relying primarily on Google andGoogle Scholar. She sees Google as most helpful for finding what she terms as “hard facts,”such as how an air-based cooling system works. She uses Google Scholar to find morescholarly sources to supplement her work, but finds that the language is often “veryscientific” and difficult to understand. She also mentions using ChatGPT to help explainthings in simpler terms if her tutor is not available to answer questions. She seems generallyhappy to ask questions of her lecturers and her classmates, but is reluctant to admit shedoesn’t know something in front of people she

. Inparticular, natural language processing (NLP) a subset of gen-AI, enables computers to quicklyparse and understand text by identifying the meaningful parts of sentences [34]. Since the releaseof ChatGPT and similar chatbots, engineering education researchers have explored diverse usecases of NLP, including for analyzing student writing and assignments, examining curriculums,research data processing, student support, and assessment [35], [36], [37]. Recent work by ourresearch group [38] has also demonstrated the potential for NLP to aid qualitative thematicanalysis by expediting the codebook generation process. Importantly, these efforts takeadvantage of how NLP handles semantically and syntactically different text by identifyingpatterns between word

However, e-learning must be supplemented byopen discussions [13], and project-based/textbook-based learning, especially for foundational subjects. Withinchemical engineering, core subjects and topics like calculus, transport phenomena, chemical thermodynamics,separation processes, and plant/process design (undergraduate capstone) must be taught through a mix of pedagogicalstrategies.

According to ChatGPT 4.0(September 2, 2024) and edited to be represented in a figure format (Figure 1), we highlight justsome of the challenges that hinder organizations from building diverse teams. Some of thesechallenges that hinder higher education and hinder engineering education too include: • Biases in Recruitment Processes • Biased Institutional Barriers and Practices • Misalignment of Goals and Practices • Resistance to Change • Company Culture and Lack of Inclusivity • Resource Constraints to Implement Effective Strategies • Lack of Diversity
