In writing their individual abstracts, studentswere required to conduct background literature reviews on how these problems have beenpreviously addressed. For the “Test Your Mettle” phase, students provided a written abstract oftheir findings and proposed future experiments that might better test their proposed solutions.The “Go Public” phase involved presenting the team presentation of their work via oral andposter presentations at the end of the semester.

This is especially true when it comes to the understanding andanalysis of analog circuits. As result, young engineers find themselves uncomfortable in tacklingneeded analog designs. Even experienced engineers realize that there are probably moreefficient ways of solving design problems, but often feel they lack the time to pursue them.

becauseit is fundamentally different. In a recent article on the topic of undergraduate engineer writing,Schnieter commented on these differences, stating: “English composition allows readers toprovide their own interpretations of what the reader intended. Technical writing, on the otherhand, demands that the reader come only the conclusion intended by the writer”3.

the AI was able to spit out in terms of checking the boxes of the assignment. But that is just it. It just checked boxes. A primary issue with AI-generated content, particularly in first-person writing, is that it fundamentally lacks the human touch. It cannot go deeper than surface-level reflections because it does not know anything more profound. Out of curiosity, I inputted the ChatGPT rendered version into Grammarly’s plagiarism detector, and it said the text was one hundred percent original. This is very concerning, as the text is one hundred percent unoriginal.
