The nature of designing activities requires an environment that is not of a traditional classroom nature. Deep Orange requires students to collaborate and interact with each other and with faculty on a regular basis in a permanent collaborative space (resembling a studio). The students work on workstations grouped by their team membership as well as team white boards in the Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL), which is divided into two sections; one is an office like area, and the second is a workshop to build and assemble the concept vehicle. The SIL is equipped with
assignments 7. In their implementation, students were assigned into teams with aspecific problem in according to their answers to the background part assignment. In theteamwork, students took different roles in different tasks. Students’ grades were determined byboth their individual and group work. Bohorquez and Toft-Nielsen employed collaborativelearning in a problem-oriented medical electronics laboratory to develop biomedical engineeringstudents' expertise and self-efficacy 8. In their collaborative learning, students were assigned withspecific course-related projects and required to work collaboratively with their team members.They were also required to co-tutoring each other and switch role assignments in differentprojects.

latest technology with new knowledge and design.7 Technology is chosenand mediated by those in social power and domination, which has traditionally been anexclusively male domain.8 This domination has led to a monopoly of male engineers in controlof the technological knowledge and its power upon society. Male dominance in technology andengineering has rendered gender invisible in the science of design and technology. There is adanger in this rendering as it assumes gender as being non-relevant within the social creation oftechnology. Yet, “universities still tend to reproduce this professional engineering culture and thecorresponding social habit in favor of men” 9 resulting in research and design laboratories asprimarily male dominated spaces

first place. For example, in environmentalengineering laboratory courses where students collect their own data, how do they use GenAI tohelp them decide what to use the data for, what approaches to use to process the data, and thenexecute their plan (e.g., Excel workflow or Python code)? The present study aims to address thesegaps by examining what motivates students to choose to use GenAI tools or not and how studentschoose to integrate GenAI tools into their project workflow working with unstructured data andprogramming tasks. For those who do choose to use GenAI, we explore how it affects theirlearning, problem solving approach, and overall performance on these assignments?
