The EGCI aims to measureunderstanding in engineering graphics concepts; thus, unrelated constructs that should not beassociated with an EGCI construct should not have a significant correlation with performance onthe instrument. For examples, high performance on the EGCI should correlate with performancein solid modeling courses or other courses requiring an understanding of engineering graphicsconcepts such as machine design or production design, that require the creation or reading oftechnical drawings, but perhaps not with performance in history or philosophy classes for thesame participants.

With thesecore principles remaining the same across the workshops, we can then compare how theinstructors’ attitudes and beliefs changed throughout this timeframe.Theoretical FramingFor this research, the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) has been utilized to compareand contrast how the instructors’ beliefs and attitudes towards the innovation changed over time2.CBAM is a well-researched educational model created in the 1970’s ad 1980’s that helps depictthe change process in an educational setting.

Moments (of a force)have also been identified as a particular area of confusion for students both because ofconflicting terminologies [3] and their role as “intermediate quantifier[s] of the rotational effectof interactions [between bodies]” [7]. That is, while the net force is the quantity proportional to amass’s translational acceleration, the moment is proportional to the mass’s angular acceleration.That moments build on the already difficult concept of force likely only complicates learning.This work in progress paper describes an early pilot of a study to investigate the process ofconceptual change related to moments in an engineering statics course.

I guess my view on that would be that maybe assessments can start looking at students' ability to critically analyze these summaries that GenAI tools provide, to reason about what is accurate, what is not accurate.’ (George)Our findings also aligned with Nikolic et al.'s (2023) suggestion for a shift in assessment fromonline to oral or in-person exams. A similar conclusion was reached by Qadir (2023), whobelieved a shift in assessment methods towards oral exams or individual projects could reducethe risks posed by GenAI, while the traditional way of assessment can be used as daily exercisewith less focus on the students’ final grades.Hillary proposed
