NLP already facilitates the interactions between our students and all sortsof artificial intelligence like chatbots (ChatGPT), smart assistants (Siri), and more. Calls formore integration of artificial intelligence into education grow louder by the day. For instance, aspecial committee was established in the US to make recommendations, including around AI ineducation [1]. Outside of academia, regular interaction with AI tools is becoming commonplacein industry. Scholars have already outlined a plethora of opportunities and concerns aroundapplying this technology in the
, images, and music [7],using deep learning models like GANs and transformers to generate original data by learningpatterns from training datasets. Unlike traditional machine learning, which primarily analyzes orclassifies existing data [8], GenAI models, such as OpenAI’s GPT, leverage large languagemodels (LLMs) trained on vast text datasets [9, 10]. Beyond LLMs, models like GANs, VAEs,and diffusion models further expand GenAI’s capabilities, with applications spanning NLP [11],art creation [12], and game design [13]. The release of ChatGPT quickly raised concerns aboutacademic integrity and student overreliance, potentially hindering learning due to its accessibility[14, 15]. However, these concerns have also driven interest in leveraging GenAI

When ChatGPT was firstintroduced in 2023, it affected a fundamental shift in the role of the educator. These tools providestudents with powerful capabilities, including generating content, simplifying complex concepts, andautomating problem-solving processes. While GenAI tools have immense potential to enhance learningand teaching experiences, they also pose significant challenges, particularly in the context ofassessments (Swiecki,et al

The feedback was then collected and provided to thecorresponding group of students so that they could incorporate the feedback and improve thequality of their submissions.However, using Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT is changing how students writeassignments [17]. Using AI tools has its benefits as well as problems [18]. While the AI toolmay help students streamline their writing, a major issue can be that the AI tool makes thereport look very generic and provides incorrect technical information [19], which isdetrimental to the quality of the written work [20], [21]. To deal with the issue of the use ofAI tools, a special lecture is given to the

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or GoogleGemini have brought machine learning to the creation of text. Similarly, GAI tools for imagecreation, such as DALL-E or Adobe Firefly, allow for the creation of images based on text-basedqueries. In education, this has sparked a great deal of interest among students and faculty in theethical application of this technology in the classroom. In “AI in Higher Ed: Hype, Harm, orHelp,” Anthology, an educational technology company, surveyed university student leadersabout student use and perception of AI [4].

Wolfram Alpha made a large step forward in the ability to solve a varietyof problems and explain the steps to learners everywhere. 2 Now, AI, and specificallylarge-language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT provide the next evolution in solving complexproblems while showing detailed commentary on every step and calculation made. But AI’sability to aid an engineers in their endeavor to solve the world’s technical challenges is muchmore broad. A brief review of AI’s definition, emergence, and varied types is appropriate.2.1 Artificial Intelligence DefinitionA term as broad as ‘artificial intelligence’ is bound to have many definitions, most with significantoverlap
limitations. First, AI tools, such as ChatGPT andCopilot are relatively new, and constantly evolving in their abilities. Secondly, the sampledstudent work represented a small portion of available data and thus is not representative of thewhole set. Finally, while every effort was made to ensure that the evaluators were consistent withthe application of the rubric, it is simply not realistic to expect people with varying expertise tobe completely consistent. While these limitations were important to acknowledge, they do notlimit the importance of this work. We see potential not only for optimizing writing support butalso for fostering student-involved negotiations on how AI can aid the writing process.MethodsContextThis study occurred at a small

We evaluate the effectiveness of this methodthrough a series of case studies and provide guidelines for instructors to leverage these technologiesin their courses.1 IntroductionLarge Language Models (LLMs) and their emerging skills provide educators with new capabilitiesto improve our teaching and save time. LLMs like ChatGPT have emerged as powerful tools thatcan assist in creating educational content and interactive learning experiences [1].For digital system design and computer architecture, traditional education often relies on expen-sive hardware, specialized software, and physical laboratory spaces. These requirements can limitaccess to hands-on learning experiences, particularly for students in

These features are particularlyvaluable in addressing the challenges of large class sizes and diverse student needs, making AI apromising tool for scaling high-quality education.In chemical engineering education, where problem-solving and quantitative reasoning are integral,AI tools like ChatGPT and discipline-specific software have shown promise in assisting withcomplex calculations, modeling, and conceptual understanding. For instance, AI-driven platformscan simulate chemical processes and provide students with interactive learning opportunities,enhancing their
purposes have been steadily developed in the decades since, with the majority of AIEdresearch focusing on instructor-side AI tools used for administrative tasks such as automatedgrading, feedback, and content creation [16–20]. There are some cases of AI tools developed forlearner use, but they are more application-specific and are very different from the modern, morerobust generative AI tools of the present study [21, 22]. Recent years have seen the emergence ofpowerful generative AI tools, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini (formerly Bard)released in late 2022 and early 2023, respectively. These tools are examples of powerful largelanguage models (LLMs) capable of interpreting human language inputs and generating outputsresembling

Datasets weremanually formatted to ensure consistent wrangling by the AI, using standardized key phrases andstructured formatting to enhance the AI's ability to parse and interpret the information accurately.

This process was systematically repeated and refined by utilizingsubsets of the data with established qualities until preprocessing consistently achieved accurate parsingfollowing emerging best practices [23].Throughout the analysis, refinements were made to prompts and categorizations, ensuring alignmentwith the nuances of each reflection.

In addition, AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can be used as an educationalresource to support learning and research, but educators need to be proficient in their use tointegrate them effectively 6,3 . However, AI cannot replace key higher order skills, as was shownwhen analyzing AI-generated laboratory reports in chemistry, which highlighted severaldeficiencies, such as inability to maintain consistency, generate references, and suggestexperimental errors 3 .In the realm of computational thinking, algorithmic explanations can serve as a powerful meansof instruction

While these tools offer considerable benefits, AI can performtasks such as generating essays, writing code, or solving problems, allowing students to bypassactive learning and rely on the tool to complete their work for them. Previous research hasexplored how instructors and students feel about integrating AI into the classroom as anotherresource. Moving forward, the goal of this study is to build on existing findings and offer newinsights into the perceived benefits and limitations of integrating AI into education by focusing onstudent perceptions of its impact on
ChatGPT [1], Google’s Gemini [2],and Microsoft’s Copilot [3] have gained widespread student adoption due to their free access andease of use. This expansion has occurred amid varying acceptance [4–6] and trust [7] in digitallearning technologies across student populations through the COVID-19 pandemic and into thepresent day. Approximately one-third (35.4%) of students reported regular usage of ChatGPT,while 47% expressed concern about AI’s impact in education [8]. Additionally, 60% reported thattheir instructors or schools had not yet provided guidelines for ethical or responsible AI tool use [8].As students increasingly use available online AI assistants, researchers have concurrently devel-oped specialized educational AI tools designed
