However, if we are to train the nextgeneration of engineers, providing a background in NLP could help students better understandthe potential and limitations of these powerful tools [3] . Since many first-year engineeringprograms teach MATLAB, python, or similar programming languages, it is a natural home forexploring the topic of NLP with students to lift the veil of mystery around the technology andprovide practical applications of their coding knowledge.This lesson can be used to guide students through implementing Natural Language Processing inMATLAB. At the end of the lesson, students should be able to (a) articulate the major stepsneeded to create a simple NLP program and the associated terminology as well as (b

In the Spring 24 semester, 70% of the students received an A grade of some kindand all the students got a grade of at least a B-. In the Summer 24 semester, 65% of the studentsgot an A while the rest got a B. None got C, D or F grades.

Afterwards, students were randomly split into two groups, groups A and B. Group Atook their first exam in the classroom, while group B took their first exam in the CBTC.Thereafter, the modalities were alternated for each group for each exam. The course had sixexams, meaning that students took three exams in the CBTC and the other three exams under aBYOD setup. The exams were 50 minutes long and consisted mainly of numeric fill-in-the-blankquestions.After each exam, students were sent a survey to collect information regarding

increased concern around disclosing raceamong applicants after the ban of affirmative action.2 Race notations: A – Asian, B – Black, C – Caucasian, H – Hispanic, I – American Indian, P – Pacific Islander orAlaskan NativeWe also examined the race composition of the two graduate computer science degrees offered bythe university. Among the underrepresented minority groups (URMs), we observe a decline inthe percentage of applicants who reported race as Black by 12.8% and Hispanic by 17.9% for theMS degree. However, for the PhD degree, the increasing trend of students reporting race asBlack continues, with the percentage increase changing from 11.3% to 13% in the 2022-23 and2023-24 application cycles, whereas there is a decline in Hispanic.

growing department has made it impossible forany individual instructor to teach all the students we have. As more instructors were added to theteaching rota, we had the unique opportunity to examine how different teaching styles impactedstudent outcomes.During Fall 2024, three people taught Statics: instructor A (Anna Howard) who had been teachingall the sections fall-and-spring during 2008 - 2022, instructor B (Greg Watkins) who was new to NCState University but with 29 years of prior teaching experience, and instructor C (Nicholas Garcia)who was a graduate student and a teaching mentee for instructor A with significant familiarity withthe flipped class and materials.All instructors agreed to use the same weekly quizzes and exams.

, incorrectly identifying thecircuit as a series RLC circuit. (ChatGPT-4o had similar errors of treating parallel circuits asseries circuits for multiple times in this study.) All the rest of calculations were followed withthe incorrect circuit analysis. 6 Figure 5: ChatGPT interpreted the circuit as LRC in series, and calculated the equivalent impedance in series by substituting numerical values with appropriate unit conversions (See A and B). The error in circuit analysis was propagated down throughout the calculations.Category 5. Accuracy in the use of equations and numerical calculations.Table 1 shows the performance of ChatGPT-40 measured by the
