Judges were instructed to spendapproximately 10 minutes with each poster; during that time, they listened to the presentationand asked leading questions to encourage the presenters to justify and expand on their proposals.It is important to note that teams prepared their posters and presentation very early in the term;accordingly, the designs presented at the poster competition were very much in the preliminarystages. The competition therefore provided a very important service for the teams as a formativeassessment tool with near instantaneous feedback. As a consequence of the “idea

Recognizing the imperative for adapting tothe evolving landscape, educators must embrace change to ensure students are equipped with theskills and knowledge anticipated by the industry [14]. Rather than dismissing tools like ChatGPTor imposing unenforceable bans on the technology, instructors should encourage students to usethe tool to achieve a deeper understanding of the course material. There is a large potential forusing ChatGPT to supplement the current computer science education [3, 5, 6, 9, 13, and 15]. Atool like ChatGPT can help bridge the gap between students who lack the prerequisite experienceand knowledge, and the tool can become the study partner for the students that lack a peer groupto

engineering schools, only less than half of the students entering colleges as engineeringmajors actually graduate with an engineering degree (Astin & Astin, 1992; Besterfielf-Scare, et. al., 1997;French, et. al., 2005). As the number of engineering graduates declines, recruiting and retaining employees withthe necessary engineering skills has become one of the most pressing challenges to many mechanical andelectrical engineering companies in America (KPMG Report, 2006). In order to attract, retain and train morequalified engineering graduates for the industry, there emerges an urgent call for the reform of engineeringeducation.As proposed by the National Academic Press report (NAP, 1995), the reform of engineering education demandsactions in

PLTW students say that PLTW Engineering influenced their post-secondary decisions and helped shape their future. PLTW students are shown to study engineering and other STEM disciplines at a rate significantly higher than their non-PLTW peers. Even for students who do not plan to pursue engineering after high school, the PLTW Engineering program provides opportunities to develop highly transferable skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving, which are relevant for any

As a result, it opens a unique window of time for learning about the difficulties andopportunities that university students and instructors faced because of virtual lab experiences. Ithas therefore aided educators in having hybrid courses and teaching pedagogies to protectstudent and staff safety while preserving learning standards. Therefore, closing this gap isnecessary to avoid further setbacks [7], [8].Industries have recently had a significant demand for technical expertise workers.
