While students aretasked with designing the load balancer to meet specified requirements, they are also given thefreedom to use LLMs for small routine or function generation, aiding in code completion andefficiency. Additionally, LLMs are employed to assist in debugging procedures, such as identifyingand resolving issues like infinite loops.However, the integration of LLMs in CSCE 412 poses

The importance of learning the material first was emphasizedto preemptively discourage attempts at using AI to cheat.To navigate the evolving landscape of AI in education, an open discussion with studentsaddressed its potential applications in generating and troubleshooting code. Again, it wasemphasized that AI would be ineffective if users lacked a fundamental understanding ofprogramming. In a semester project, students were allowed to use AI under specific rules,including proper citation and adherence to the syntax and logic covered in the class. These rulesallow students to freely use AI for the project, but still require them to

12-hour clock is a standard commercial product. It performs a useful function, yet it issimple enough that it can be used as either an example in lecture, or can be designed by thestudents as a series of homework problems or in project. In the author's course, part of the clockis presented as an example in lecture, and the students design the rest of the clock in a groupproject and homework problems.Digital clocks are usually set up to start at 12:00, and they count 12:01, 12:02, 12:03, 12:04,12:05, 12:06, 12:07, 12:08, 12:09, 12:10, and eventually the clock gets to 12:58, 12:59, 1:00, andso on.

respect to thesystem’s remaining development, its service in deployment, and its maintenance life”.In terms of the importance of a coherent architecture, Maier properly asserts that “if a system hasnot achieved a system architecture, including its rationale, the project should not proceed to full-scale development”. Further, Maier basically does not support the notion that systems andsoftware architecting should be based upon the same or similar methods. His reasons aretraceable to his observations as to the differences between system and software developmentsand especially their structures.As part of his case, Maier also points to a comment by one of our most capable softwareengineers, Frederick Brooks.
