This kind of AI system produces text responses thatresemble those of a human being in response to a variety of prompts and inquiries. A few benefitsof ChatGPT are its round-the-clock assistance, prompt question answering, ability to locateresearch-related material, ability to write code, etc. Despite these benefits, ChatGPT may provideinaccurate or irrelevant results due to its limited contextual understanding of a given topic.Feedback that is unfair or erroneous may result from bias in the data that was used to train theprogram.

Most programs are partially funded bylocal foundations and federal grants; institutional support is also provided in the form of campusclassrooms, laboratories, and voluntary faculty efforts. The goals of the program, which includeincreasing the diversity of participating students, have not changed over the course ofimplementation. However, the recruitment strategies and program activities have evolved duringthe course of this project. Our best practices for inspiring minority students in STEM werebelieved to be:  Hands-on experiences completing real science and engineering projects;  Working in peer based teams for the solution of projects;  On-going support and encouragement from the instructor;  Real world examples

, there are a number of studies that have adopted goal orientation as aframework to investigate engineering students’ motivation [21]. Most of these studies, however,targeted graduate, undergraduate, or high school students, and little research has focusedspecifically on younger children. Meanwhile, research on children’s engineering design anddesign thinking (e.g., [22]) and related motivation constructs, such as identity or attitude (e.g.,[23]), has increased in the past few years. Often featuring hands-on, project-based tasks andlearning experiences, engineering design activities provide opportunities for children to work onreal-world challenges using engineering tools and materials within contexts that focus onproblem-solving and systems

Page 26.1184.10I’m a different person because of the experience. At first I was nervous because I onlythought I could help with structural engineering—but I ended up doing lots of process and mechanical engineering. I worked with pumps and piping and even some electrical work. I learned so many new things. I went in thinking that my math and science in college were the most important but I realized when I worked that the interaction with my coworkers was even more important. I learned what it meant to be a working person. Now I really like encouraging people towards doing a work experience—I even gave a talk one time at a co-op meeting and lots of the students asked me questions afterwards. I would
