implications for integrating these tools into the classroom to betterprepare our students for their future careers.As with any new educational tool, GAI also poses new challenges to their implementations thatmay be deleterious to the overall learning experience. For example, new GAI tools may requiresignificant time and resources to develop and implement, constraining engineering educators withlimited resources. Moreover, there is a learning curve for both educators and students to learnhow to use GAI tools effectively in the classroom, which could initially impede the learningprocess. Furthermore, there are ethical issues, algorithmic bias, and data privacy that may need tobe resolved or addressed before using GAI in engineering policy, practice

workis important for engineering education.3 We were convinced, as were NSF panel reviewers, thatit was important to fill a visible gap in the research literature on the learning and work practicesof new engineers. And we found further motivation for the study from arguments in importantconsensus documents in engineering education. As stated in an authoritative consensus report onengineering education from the National Academy of Engineering, there is a clear “disconnectbetween engineers in practice and engineers in academe” and that “the great majority ofengineering faculty, for example, have no industry experience. Industry representatives point tothis disconnect as the reason that engineering students are not adequately prepared, in theirview

There have also been somechallenges associated with implementation and maintenance of current documentation, a newweb format, new training, and new background processes within ABET. To the credit of thestaff at ABET headquarters, they have maintained an open-door policy with regards to questionsand concerns coming from the institutions and their volunteers. Accreditation visits areconducted with the same openness.

The matter was also reported to theproject team, so they were aware of any immediate challenges.Implementation ChallengesBased on a review of mentor notes and documentation of the mentor process, several implementationchallenges were noted. For example, simple scheduling issues became a major concern almostimmediately. The project tried to create as many mentoring session time slots as possible so that menteeswould be able to find one that suits them. In some sessions there may only have been a single mentee oreven no mentees per time slot. A partial-explanation for this scheduling issue is the large proportion ofstudent that worked part-time and full-time. Table 2 illustrates the percentage of students in the

A very new technology isused so that significant potential societal impacts have not yet occurred. The technologyexists, and is available but has not yet diffused into society to the point where socialimpacts have become evident.Actual news articles written for a general audience are used in describing the newengineering solution for several reasons. First, a description for the general audience ismost appropriate for beginning engineering students that are not likely to have developedin-depth engineering knowledge yet. Second, it helps to avoid faculty bias by usingdescriptions of technological issues
