focus fromoutcome to process was accomplished using in person grading where students were expected todescribe their code and any challenges they faced writing the code. Students were then askedquestions to help them reflect on their code and on their understanding of new concepts.Examination of midterm exam grades found a slight improve in scores with the implementation ofin person grading.KeywordsArtificial Intelligence, Assessment, ProgrammingIntroductionGenerative artificial intelligence (AI) has been the talk of the universities since the advent ofChatGPT in November 2022. The development of generative adversarial networks, transformers,and large language models in the last decade has allowed the creation of generative AI capable ofwriting

make a large map. The secondversion, Loopy v.2.0, was released in time for the third course offering. It allowed the students tobetter navigate the interface and included more controls, two aspects that addressed concernsfrom students in the first two cohort students.At meetings with faculty, a few students from the first two cohorts voiced concerns about howthe textbook, the Macroscope, from the 1970s, was outdated and the significant reading load.The mixed survey ratings from students about course readings, which comprised most readingsfor the course, reflects that a few students did not think the textbook was useful. The textbookwas kept because it is an open-source resource and still has relevant content that introduces sys-tems thinking

steadily rise, particularly among youngergenerations, questions from those who are concerned are posed as to how these issues will becombated [4-6]. This motivation has the potential to spark a keen interest in contributing toinnovative solutions such as utilizing waste materials and industrial byproducts for infrastructuredevelopment. As awareness of environmental issues deepens, students especially are coming torecognize the significance of reducing the ecological footprint of traditional constructionpractices. By repurposing residues and waste materials, such as recycled aggregates andindustrial byproducts, for applications like asphalt concrete, they can actively contribute toresource conservation, minimize landfill burdens, and mitigate the

issuccessful”“Have heard industry asking for graduates to have these competencies”Each of the departments (this term will be used to include programs and schools) in the COE, aswell as the COE itself, have Industry Advisory Committees (IACs) that advise the departmentson what they are looking for from the students and provide advice on what they think should bepart of the curriculum. One of their major complaints has been the lack of interpersonalskills.Employers are concerned with the students’ inability to think critically, solve problems,effectively negotiate, and take initiative [38]. They further agree this presents a problem in tryingto develop a global workforce [39] with a competitive edge.Some students and faculty agree that many of the

, the establishment of computational modelingcompetence opens the door to new design methodologies that can be used to iterate throughengineered 3D models. Field-driven design is one such methodology that would enormouslybenefit undergraduate students in their coursework. The intertwining of numerical simulationmodeling, field-driven design, and the presently-emphasized 3D modeling skills strengthensstudent understanding of product evaluation and iteration and improves the employability ofmechanical engineering graduates.KeywordsNumerical Simulation, Field-Driven Design, Computer-Aided Design, Additive Manufacturing,Undergraduate Student PaperIntroductionWith the widespread adoption of computer-aided design and finite element analysis

student feedback • Students appreciate feedback from the instructor on the group design project, particularly on the appropriateness of their design and cite the need for early and frequent feedbackIntroductionOnce engineering students complete an undergraduate engineering degree, they havetheoretically achieved the competencies necessary to obtain professional jobs inindustry. However, evidence from literature and professional engineers working in industry havenoted that while students possess the technical competencies to perform their jobs well, studentslack an understanding of real-world design factors that play a critical role in the design process[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Specifically, students who become new professionals often

2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conference1.2.4 Engineering Mechanics: Statics Studies have indicated that it is critical to ensure that the learning objectives of thespecific subject matter are noted, particularly when initiating active learning in engineeringeducation, it is essential to consider the specific subject matter and learning objectives [9]. As afundamental course in most engineering disciplines, Statics is an excellent common course toexperiment with the strategies of active learning. Statics is concerned with loads on bodies inequilibrium, either at rest or moving with constant velocity. Engineering students in Statics learnto solve increasingly more challenging problems with foundational principles. and the resultingimpact
