Below is an examplequote that follows this theme: “I think that the academic use of ChatGPT is a slippery slope because the fact that the work of countless other individuals (within ChatGPT’s dataset) is then used to ‘bake’ a new piece of information/media.

Our choice of studying the period 1995-2020 forthis research article stems from two important points. First, our research showed that criticaldevelopments between the early 1970s to late 1980s (Table 1), both in North American and inEurope, facilitated a great spread of engineering education research across higher educationinstitutions (HEIs) in this time-period. This spread would have impacted

To expand the literaturereturned and understanding of the theory being utilized, an additional search was conductedusing only the search term “transfer student capital.” Results were analyzed first inductively, allowing the data collected to suggest codes andthemes of importance. Multiple rounds of inductive analysis were done to reduce data andidentify significant codes and themes are discussed further in the results below.

Engineering EducationBackground/MotivationThe research on self-concept has been occupying a significant portion of the studies contributingto the advancement of educational psychology. As much as the topic has gained popularity in thepast decades, it suffered due to the lack of a concrete definition in its early years of advent [1].As interest in it grew, self-concept also gained strength, clarity, and structure. It grew strong as itgained a definition explaining how it might play an important role for a student and for aneducator [1]. Clarity was provided when it was differentiated from some parallel concepts inself-theory and affixing a space for self-concept in an individual’s perceptions, and not a justplaceholder [2].

This common lecturestyle is referred to as a “transmission approach,” one which most educators are familiar withbecause it is the general norm among academics according to Osborn and Nag [2]. However,they believe that a constructivist approach is more conducive to learning, because it removes thefocus from the instructor and
