Using Generative AI for Reducing Faculty Workload in Online Engineering CoursesAbstractWIP. The demand for high-quality online engineering courses and credentials is surging, drivenby the upskilling and reskilling needs of industry partners and engineers with 8-10 years ofexperience. Creating accessible, top-tier online courses requires producing exceptional videos,transcripts, and content segmented appropriately for optimal student learning [1]. Beyond lecturepreparation, faculty are often tasked with creating well-designed slides and assessments toengage students and measure learning. Despite the support of instructional designers in manyinstitutions, this multifaceted process presents a significant challenge for
]Cornerstone/capstone courses in a project-based curriculum offer a more typical way to infuseentrepreneurship into engineering coursework. In general, teams that include creativity exercisesexhibit greater innovation in their design process, both in first year design [11, 12] and finalcapstone experiences [13]. Interestingly, studies have measured no correlation between creativityand GPA using validated creativity indices [14], showing that technical academic achievement isnot a pre-requisite for producing innovative engineers. Furthermore, student outcomes arepositively affected by incorporating entrepreneurial activities into engineering curricula. Studieshave shown marked increases in student retention and GPA [15] illustrating the positive role

Our study explores the challenges Generation Z students faced during theCOVID-19 pandemic, with a specific focus on understanding how their backgrounds influencedtheir interactions with e-learning platforms, including their learning styles, personalities, GPA,housing, voluntariness of use, and quality of internet access.

However, Oregon State has provided more than enough support for me to excel in this major. Not only is there a community that exists specifically for women engineers, but I also live in a dorm surrounded by other women in STEM. Although there is still some bias that exists, especially among male students/teachers, I still feel support. In general, this term has opened my eyes to many job opportunities as well as the struggles of teamwork. – Engineering student 1 I have started

CoE also believes that thecombination of embedded EML ( [1], [2], [3], [4]) activities and the system engineering processprovide a rewarding learning experience for students. CoE also believes that the system thinkingfound in the entrepreneurial concept aligns well with the system engineering approach for thelast several years in making project ideas become reality ( [5], [6] [7], [8], [9]).Accreditation Board for Engineering

The statistics show that only 39% of diploma graduates and 43%of undergraduates are getting placed after graduation (AICTE 2022).
