In our on-going work, we areimplementing a prototype of the system and intend to use it in a number of computer science andengineering (CSE) courses. We plan to use the results from these courses to iteratively fine-tunethe approach and the system; and then use PICOLA in a broader range of engineering courses.As we will see, PICOLA is consistent with the essential learning principles embodied in the HPLframework 1,7,8,9 .

Enrique M. Jackson, National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationAbstractOne of the most important aspects of STEM education is the engineering design process. When it comes to thedesign process, however, STEM education from kindergarten through 12th grade frequently overlooks thesignificance of modeling. The quick reproduction capability of 3D printers can be used to support modelingduring the engineering design phase. This research will investigate the usefulness of incorporating 3Dprinting technology into STEM project-based learning activities in terms of improving STEM learners graspof the engineering design process, particularly modeling. Six categories are defined and presented because ofresearch into the application of 3D printing in

engineering has become an essential skill foroptimizing the use of generative AI tools like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT. Arange of best practices for prompt engineering have been developed by both researchers andthe developers of LLMs.These LLMs have begun to be incorporated into CS education. ChatGPT, for example, hasprovided instructional support for beginning students, providing template code to get studentsstarted and facilitate the identification and correction of programming errors (Yilmaz andYilmaz 2023). Github’s Copilot has been used in similar ways to provide scaffolding fornovice programmers (Prather et al. 2023). The literature also demonstrates that CS educatorsrequire support and training to help scaffold novice programmers and

discusses the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in physics education as a teaching andlearning aid. A brief overview of the challenges and problems of computer algebra-based lecturing andlearning is given. From this point of view, the power and limitations of CAS as systems for doingmathematics and simulations, calculators with infinite precision, teaching-tools for non-trivial examples,and learning-tools for experimental examples are shown. New skills are necessary in order for studentsto manipulate symbolic computation programming languages and to judge the results; the new skills arediscussed and it is argued that the fear that students will forget their basic mathematical knowledge isunjustified.
