skepticism,particularly concerning academic integrity and the authenticity of student learning [1]. Withinengineering education, ChatGPT offers valuable support in areas such as language refinement,virtual tutoring, and problem-solving guidance [4]. However, a key challenge arises from theinherent limitations of AI systems, which generates errors that could lead to significantmisunderstandings. As a result, it is crucial to educate engineering students about the risksassociated with over-reliance on ChatGPT and emphasize the importance of critical evaluation.While it is not recommended to use ChatGPT as the sole resource for computational tasks, itsexplanations and methodological guidance generally provide valuable insights for problem-solving [5
engineeringcurricula.1 This is partially due to the duality of the engineering education system. Many of ourlargest, most prestigious engineering programs have used artificial measures to keep down theenrollment in their engineering programs, while many smaller schools (for a variety of reasons)have the opposite problem. The result of this has been a considerable amount of research analyzingthe performance of students in engineering programs. The principle objective of much of thisresearch has been to determine the factors that may influence a student’s decision to pursue furthereducation in engineering or work in a different field. By discovering these contributing factors,researchers hope to make the student’s experience of engineering more enjoyable and
