While the authors reviewed all submissions for abroader context, quotes and excerpts were taken only from students who provided consent.Twenty-six students submitted Assignment 1. Of these, 65% had a steel structure in mind andused GenAI for the write-up, while the remaining students relied on GenAI to select a structurefor them. As a result, 19% of the submissions focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which mayreflect a bias in the AI’s suggestions. Authors also noticed that 42% of students engineered theirprompts while the rest copied the assignment to a single prompt.

teaching will only become respectable in higher education when teachers treat their schoolrooms as laboratories for research*). Even if it did not have this in mind the Mann Report contains a powerful case for research and development in engineering education especially in assessment and test construction, curriculum and pedagogy, and training for teaching. To achieving these goals schools of engineering might “consider seriously cooperation with departments of education in the professional training of teachers of applied science and in the scientific study of their teaching problems”.Exhibit 1.

manuscript is a work-in-progress paper. The semiconductor industry is makinggroundbreaking advancements, and hardware engineers play a pivotal role in driving thesetechnological innovations and industrial progress. Despite this, engineering educationprograms often struggle to attract and retain enough students to sustain a robust cadre of next-generation hardware engineers. A significant number of first-year computer science andengineering students gravitate toward software-focused academic and career trajectories,frequently due to their limited exposure to hardware-specific issues and trends. With thiscontext in mind, our research began with the question of how we can support first-yearengineering students in broadening their perspectives and
