Authors: John Carrell, Texas Tech University; Tirhas Hailu, Texas Tech University

University Tirhas A. Hailu Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering Texas Tech University AbstractEngineers are increasingly looking for inspiration in the design of structures and processes to solveproblems in engineering practice. Bioinspired design uses nature as the influence and inspiration forcreating and improving designs. Through its application, bioinspired design has a long and expandinginfluence on human technology. As a reflection of this impact, more and more engineering collegesare incorporating bioinspired design into their curricula. Starting in the fall of 2020 the Texas

Using Projects to Improve Student Engagement and Retention in a First-Year Engineering Course

Collection: 2024 ASEE-GSW
Authors: Matthew Kuester, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor; Paul R Griesemer, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor
Tagged Topics: Diversity

University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (UMHB) was redesignedfor the Fall 2022 semester to improve student engagement and retention in the engineering program.The course design centered around an individual design project, with supporting modules to preparestudents for the project. Student feedback (in the form of student reflections) provided insight intohow students interacted with the project. Despite being an individual project, many students describedcommunity building that occurred through collaboration. Students also described a sense ofaccomplishment from completing a difficult, open-ended design problem. The redesigned course hasbeen offered in two semesters (Fall 2022, Fall 2023), and the retention rates for students enrolled inthese courses

Enhancing Education Through Thoughtful Integration of Large Language Models in Assigned Work

Collection: 2024 ASEE-GSW
Authors: Tonia Haikal, Texas A&M University; Robert Harold Lightfoot Jr, Texas A&M University

LLM, like ChatGPT, into educational settings has the potential to enhancemotivation and self-efficacy among students1, but excess use of these resources can yield adverseeffects. Students' cognitive skills rely on their self-efficiency and self-motivation. Studies haveshown that the lower their motivation and self-efficacy to acquire cognitive skills, the higher theiravoidance of tasks. In contrast, those with higher motivation, self-efficacy, and self-motivation arelikely to engage with tasks using their knowledge and expand their borders7. LLMs could restrictstudents from reflecting on their learning process; instead, students might overlook their strengthsand areas for improvement. LLMs could suppress the development of a growth mindset8

Inclusive Assessment and SDGs

Collection: 2024 ASEE-GSW
Authors: Kendra L Wallis, The University of Texas at Arlington

,formative assessment approaches aim to develop talent, which is more likely to reduce barriers facedby female engineering students as well as those students in underrepresented groups in STEM fields.These methods encourage reflection, which enhances learning, and they increase the intrinsicmotivation to learn, which teaches skills and creates enthusiasm for life-long learning. This is thegoal of education. Engineering education reimagined to allow a cycle of try, fail, study, try again,and learn, based on a growth mindset, is progress toward providing true quality education. It alsolevels the playing field, increasing the possibility of success for women in engineering, and reducingbarriers often encountered by students of color, indigenous

Factor (EF) is primarily linked toCovid-19 (EF2) as the impact of other factors is more variable across participants. In addition tofurther illumination of the responses for the activity codes, examination of the subcode data revealedan interesting pattern where several individual overall program codes have negative response patterns– matriculation (bureaucratic & academic issues before first class) (OP2), fellowship requirements(OP3), and bureaucratic and administrative issues after first class (OP4) - even though the aggregatevalue of the response code for Overall Program (OP) is (slightly) positive as shown in Figure 2.

Uses and Misuses of AI-assisted writing in Engineering Reports

Authors: Randall D. Manteufel, The University of Texas at San Antonio; R. Lyle Hood, The University of Texas at San Antonio; Alifer D. Crom, The University of Texas at San Antonio; Amir Karimi, The University of Texas at San Antonio

energy projects should be developed with the involvement of local communities and stakeholders.It is common to observe that the sentences generated by ChatPGT are often longer than those writtenby students. The overall flow of the sentences and paragraph are more coherent than normal, and keywords are used throughout the writing. Overall the AI-assisted writing is considered to be excellent.A negative observation is that writing is non-natural for the student. An example of non-natural wordchoice is the underlined “disproportionately borne” which is a phrase not expected in the student’sverbal communication. A student’s writing style and word choices are reflective of their verballexicon. If they do not use words and phrases

Sincethese NSCs are dead before the buffer washing process, surface proteins and ion channels are similaracross these dead cells which is reflected by the smaller standard error bar. As for live progenitor cells,they exhibit a higher standard error due to the environmental stress they experience during bufferwashes with NaCl concentrations.Figure 5.

In such processes, we start with a testbed setup, including devices and processes reflecting the lower levels (Levels 0 - sensors/actuators, Level 1 - simple control/PLC) of the Purdue Model. We progress in later phases to higher levels of the Purdue model. To further make the domain expertise accessible to students, multiple resources were developed to walk students through building, configuring and operating the testbed with details including
