I. INTRODUCTION Abstract— Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) usesalgorithms to create new content including images, computer In academia and beyond, AI-generated material is highlycode, audio, presentations, simulations, animations, and more. In accessible with a relatively low-sloped learning curve, makinga Human-Machine Systems Engineering (HMS) course, the use it readily available to those with electronic devices and internetof Gen AI was discussed, addressed, and integrated with connections. Many students in higher education are now usingintentionality. The full infusion process in the course was gradual Gen AI extensively to construct written reports, summaries,and measured
