A bus and lunch were offered as an inducement for students to take the 1.5-hour ride to the sisterinstitutions.Offered in spring 2005, the seminar course examines the issues associated with high rate template-basednanomanufacturing, including: technologies for nanoscale templates, high rate assembly of nanoelementsand polymer systems, registration at the nanoscale, interfacing with biological systems, measurement ofnanoelements, and molecular modeling. Environmental, regulatory, and ethical issues associated withnew technologies are also addressed. The course presents not only the detailed information required forthis subject, but also the basics needed for the cross-disciplinary student

University. Our studyaddresses a fundamental question: How do current AI tools perform on typical courseassessments, and what implications does this have for curriculum design?We introduce a systematic methodology for benchmarking LLM performance on our courseassessments, including exams, assignments, and projects. Utilizing state-of-the-art LLMs, weevaluate their capabilities across core courses in our EE and CpE programs. This includesCircuits I (ECE 205), Digital Design (ECE 287), Energy Systems (ECE 291), and Signals andSystems (ECE 306). Our benchmarking results reveal the strengths and limitations of these AItools in engineering education tasks, providing insights for curriculum adaptation.

It is only used as an example ofdemonstrating the proposed PBL method.3-D Printing or additive manufacturing (AM) started in the early 1980’s in rapid prototypingthen progressed to tooling [20]. Over time, several AM technologies emerged to processdifferent types of materials including polymers, ceramics, metals and composites [21].

Following the introduction ofChatGPT in 2022, GenAI has gained considerable prominence across various sectors, includingeducation, healthcare, and technology [2]. In higher education, opinions regarding the integrationof GenAI remain divided. Whereas some faculty members endorse its incorporation withininstructional frameworks, others contend that it diminishes students' critical thinking and cognitivedevelopment [3,4]. Furthermore, additional challenges encompass algorithmic bias, data privacyissues, and the spread of misinformation [5].The fields of robotics and artificial intelligence have

Developed by Oreg11, the construct can bedescribed as an “individual’s tendency to resist or avoid making changes, to devalue changegenerally, and to find change aversive across diverse contexts and types of change” (p.680). Theparticular construct and its instrument focus particularly on resistance to change as a“multidimensional disposition that comprises behavioral, cognitive, and affective components”(p.680).
