Recruitment took place via an email listserv for allgraduate students and an email from the university’s disability services office. The focus groupparticipants a) self-identified as neurodiverse and b) indicated that they were completing agraduate degree in a STEM field

ChatGPT in its current state is particularlygood at providing context-based answers to questions, writing, editing, and coding [4], [5].However, some of its limitations include potential bias in its training data, a lack of up-to-dateknowledge, and generating made-up or “hallucinated” information including source citations [6].Due to the accessibility and usefulness of GenAI products, engineering students need to acquireliteracy in AI technology, which includes (a) understanding basic functions of AI, (b) using andapplying AI in a variety of contexts, (c) evaluating and creating AI

educational institutions began offering AM courses in their curriculum[5]. For example,a study published in 2021 presented how a new AM was offered at University B. The coursereviewed various AM processes. It explained how AM facilitates the creation of complexgeometries, often without many constraints present in traditional manufacturing methods. Givenall these advantages, AM still contains many challenges. This is because the 3D-printed parts areoften treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts. An alternative solution to this challenge is building a digital twin of 3D printing equipment andprinted parts

The department provides funds for the purchase of LASSI licenses each year. B. Process and participants: LASSI breaks down learning into ten scales (see section I.C.2. above). Once students are aware of these ten scales, this conscious awareness can act as an intervention in itself, leading them to improve their weak areas. For this reason, the Assessment Committee decided to offer LASSI to every student rather than using a limited sample. Students take LASSI twice during the curriculum. First as freshmen in the
