Additionally, in the laboratory sciences,students often collaborate in narrow subject areas, and a peer may tacitly and even unknowinglysupplement his or her lab mate’s writing with insider knowledge unavailable to others.Therefore, each student had the ‘fresh eyes’ of peers outside their laboratories and subdisciplines to review their work.

To demonstrate theaccessibility of some technologies, students are encouraged to collaborate with generative AI tobuild and understand technological products, enabling faster progress and a deeper understandingof key concepts. Together, the case studies and hands-on assignments emphasize several recurringthemes, including the advantage of exploring emerging technologies early and finding novel waysto employ them.
