ChatGPT isconsidered by many to be a revolutionary educational tool, while others would argue ChatGPT isa plague upon education, responsible for rampant student plagiarism and loss of critical andoriginal thinking skills. As of this writing, two versions of ChatGPT are available to the public.The original ChatGPT 3.5 version is the most popular and well-known version.

While the updated projects involving industry collaborationwere helpful in terms of preparedness for the field, they did not challenge students to researchproblems that many others perform in capstone projects. This led to the idea of using researchthroughout senior survey to come up with a new application of existing technology that industrypartners have. This would benefit both the student and industry.
