Following the survey's completion, participantsengaged in a selection process for manufacturing problem topics, where they chose and solvedthree out of four provided problems (e.g., Bending, Extrusion, Forging, Machining). Continuingwith the experiment procedure, participants solved the three selected problems through the pen-and-paper format. Participants were not informed about the origins (e.g., Textbook, AI,Textbook+AI) of the problem generation during the problem selection and solving period; suchdetails were revealed at the end of the experiment.

This paper proposes a Deep Learning NeuralNetworks approach that helps students select their best-fit specialization in a specific category.Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, but it can determine whether a prediction isaccurate through its own neural network- no human help is required [1]. The proposed systemwill use a dataset that contains student data that is related to the general education coursesrequired for their program, such as grades, the number of hours spent on each course's materials,the opinion of the student about the content of each course, and the course(s) that the studentenjoyed the most.

The outcome could be grade distribution in your introductory courses, enrollment vs graduation, retention rate, and even first employment after obtaining a degree from your program. You should not find disparate outcomes across social groups. • If you determine that there are differences in the outcomes across the social groups of interest, then
