Our results, though preliminary and covering only a subset of our courses, providevaluable insights into the current capabilities of AI in tackling engineering education tasks. Thesefindings suggest areas where our curriculum may need to evolve to both leverage AI capabilitiesand teach skills that remain uniquely human.The contributions of this work are: 1. An applied methodology for benchmarking LLM performance against engineering course assessments. 2. Initial performance data of an advanced LLM on EE and CpE course materials. 3.

Carroll presents a learning theory that undergirds mastery learning, especially flexibilityconcerning the time available for learning. Under Carroll’s theory, learning is based on the ratioof time needed to time spent on learning, with high-aptitude students needing less time. This de-emphasizes the role of innate ability, promotes hard work, and provides guidance for retainingless prepared students in engineering without lowering standards.In the author's approach to mastery learning, no partial credit is given on 75% of test problems,however, students are able to repeat those problems, possibly with some penalty.

As opposed to a flippedmodel of active learning where students are expected to watch lecture recordings or read material on theirown before coming to class and then do in-class problem solving, the instructor also goes over the materialin detail in-class in the gradual release model. This provides a good support mechanism for students.While it might be of interest, we can’t say whether the non-native English speakers or disadvantagedstudents will benefit more or less from this intervention. Even though this approach reinforces the conceptsand provides opportunities to learn from peers yet we don’t expect to see much of a difference. This isbecause

The traditional approach has been especially difficult to sustain in engineeringeducation, as students frequently struggle with complex concepts that require deepcomprehension [5]. Furthermore, conventional lectures may not sufficiently prepare students toeffectively utilize their knowledge and skills in practical situations [5].

Studentslearn about four types of WEC technologies: point absorbers, attenuators, overtopping devicesand oscillatory water column terminators. Point absorbers extract energy from the rise and fallof waves with a floating buoy. The flexing of attenuators by waves yields mechanical powerfrom a hydraulic motor which is converted to electric power by a generator. In overtoppingdevices, ocean water fills a reservoir which is drained through a hydroelectric turbine similar to ahydroelectric dam. Finally, an oscillatory water column terminator acts as a piston forcing air inand out of a chamber
