Only ABET SO 1 and one part of ABETSO 6 (related to conducting lab experiments) showed no significant difference.These results contrast with previous studies [2] [4] [6] that typically found a positive correlationbetween student performance and surveys used to gauge self-efficacy.

Despite the advantages, AI may provide students with some misleading information andoutdated data. AI tools are also highly dependent on the phrasing of the prompts, potentiallyleading to suggestions that stifle creativity or misinterpret students' intentions. AI-generated textis unable to capture the nuance, context, and subjective nature of writing, making the AI responseshave a voice distinctive from the voice of the individual.

The project must be based on the knowledge and skills related to the design process acquired in earlier course work. This explains the lengthy prerequisite list. 2. The project must incorporate engineering standards and be responsive to local codes and regulations. This explains why proposals are presented by practicing engineers. 3.

The rubricidentifies LOA5 - Synthesis as incorporating “realistic constraints such as economic,environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.”Some of the surveyed programs may not expect graduates to consider more than one constraintin their designs.
