Additionally, remote learning has highlighted the usage of ChatGPT amongstudents. There are also concerns about the use of ChatGPT, encompassing issues such as the potentialencouragement of plagiarism and cheating, the risk of fostering user laziness, especially amongstudents, and the susceptibility to errors, including the dissemination of biased or false information.There are also instances of random inaccuracies and vagueness in ChatGPT's responses onpertinent

A post-course assessment iscurrently being developed to ascertain the effectiveness of the course in meeting its educational goals. Faculty response has been generally positive. Most faculty (particularly those who are actively involved indesign or who have had industrial experience)agree that a course of this nature is needed in the curriculum to allowstudents to gain practical skills. However, there is wide divergence on how to fit this experience into an already fullcurriculum. Other contentious issues include; theproper balance between practical and theoretical content,teaching methodology and level, and the cost-to-benefit

This paper presents a revisedprocedure that serves to address previously expressed concerns related to mathematical processeswithin the assessment technique.The assessment technique is constructed within a spreadsheet and is easy to modify for use inany course. Inherent to this assessment technique is a mapping of specific student activities,whether as part of a project or other graded assignment, to specific program outcomes.

As technology changes, manypapers have focused on the opportunities to incorporate new sensor technologies, dataacquisition, or real-time control. The incorporation of new technologies does not always result inlabs that are more sophisticated. Counter-intuitively, the availability of new measurement toolsand software can sometimes make difficult concepts more accessible to students.As new opportunities emerge, the bigger question concerns how labs should be structured toelicit deeper levels of learning.

What challenges remain? ● A junior year pre-senior design semester did not help: it caused premature initial enthusiasm that disappeared in the summer and did not re-emerge in the fall. Students complained that they rarely pursued the projects they began in the design semester, and they could not see its benefits. ● Balancing the desire to give students independent ownership of their own project versus the benefits of working in a team remains a challenge. As class sizes grow, we anticipate a greater shift towards teams, but remain concerned about the loss
