First year constructionprojects should be incorporated into the curriculum either as requirements of first-year courses,or on a voluntary basis for the enjoyment of students, or both.

in the classroom. It is, therefore, important to evaluate students’ perception ofLLMs and possible ways of adapting the computing curriculum to these shifting paradigms.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore computing students’ experiences andapproaches to using LLMs during a semester-long software engineering project. We investigatedthe impacts of a low-cost intervention. While there have been studies on the use of LLMs in theclassroom, there have been limited works on the use within a project-based course in thecomputing classroom. Our study helps fill this knowledge gap.Design/Method: We collected data from a senior-level software engineering course at PurdueUniversity, a large public R1 university in the Midwest. This course

Currently, much of the curriculum isgeared towards robotics, programming, and physics in the context of mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering. As part of this research, new projects are being developed that intersectwith a diverse range of fields of engineering, such as bioengineering, chemical engineering,biomedical engineering, environmental and ecological engineering, and industrial engineering.The expectation is that these projects will allow students to experience a more diverse look at theengineering profession in their first year and incorporate a deeper sense of belonging.
