AI in Higher Education The unstoppable use of AI tools by students has prompted institutions of higher educationto assess the impact of this emerging technology within their academic settings. Whileuniversities have begun to address this trend through their academic integrity and ethics policies,students will continue to utilize AI regardless of rules and regulations that support or forbid useof AI. Educators must equip themselves and their students with information literacy and criticalthinking skills, which will help ensure that students utilize AI ethically and responsibly.Focusing on effective use, rather than forbidding use entirely, will better prepare students forsuccess academically and professionally. As educators, the

Each 4-week unit consisted offour key topics: needs identification, design requirements, regulatory, and ethics. The coursefocused on understanding these existing devices and their limitations, not on designing a newdevice. To scale up the needs-finding benefits of traditional clinical immersion courses whileavoiding some of the restrictions [5]-[7], students accessed the voice of the customer (VoC)through pre-recorded video interviews conducted by the instructor. Each unit included 4-5 VoCinterviews with medical device users and clinicians, which
