Interactive tutoring powered by LLMsprovides real-time feedback and support, extending beyond traditional classroomhours. LLMs also serve as content creation tools, assisting both educators and studentsin generating study materials, explanations, summaries, and study guides. Thepotential applications span diverse disciplines, making LLMs an indispensable asset infostering a culture of lifelong learning.Sample Prompts and Use Cases.

Buildings could be partially transformed into greenhouses by making entireor partial roofs and walls out of materials optimal for light and heat absorption so that aspecial arrangement of plant species may contribute to oxygenated indoor air and evenremove harmful particulates of pollution linked to allergies. With these buildings, if thesummertime heat became too great, either outdoor deciduous trees could shade thebuilding (allowing for wintertime heat instead) or the heat could be redirected into a formof energy conversion.

the most common goals of including engineering in the K-12 classroom are: ● Increase the diversity of students who consider engineering as a viable pathway ● Teach critical thinking ● Bring authenticity and relevance to science and math content (Of course, engineering is not the ONLY platform that will provide this.)Although there has been a concerted effort to emphasize the importance of engineering as itapplies to K-12 education [9], once programs are implemented, the original objectives may belost. The intensity of organizing materials, the use of available resources that emphasize differentgoals, or simply the effort of finding time to include authentic engineering-related activities candilute attention to the learning
Session 3565 Calculus Reform, Differential Equations and Engineering Michael Ruane Electrical & Computer Engineering, Boston UniversityAbstractThrough much of the 1990’s, the National Science Foundation supported the development ofnew pedagogical methods, textbooks, and teaching materials, including software, for calculus.This was done in response to concerns from mathematicians, and from scientists and engineersin client disciplines who believed students were not being well prepared for further study withcalculus applications. The ’calculus reform’ movement has
whichincorporates all three major heat transfer mechanisms of conduction, convection, and radiation.Project details, selected results, recommended modifications, and options for alternativeimplementations are provided.IntroductionAt its core, engineering is often described as problem solving (Sheppard et al. 2009). Jonassen etal. (2006) wrote, Practicing engineers are hired, retained, and rewarded for solving problems, so engineering students should learn how to solve workplace problems. Workplace engineering problems are substantively different from the kinds of problems that engineering students most often solve in the classroom; therefore, learning to solve classroom problems does not necessarily prepare engineering students to solve workplace

Kit for a Foundational Circuits CourseAbstractIncreasing online and distance education has become a significant interest in engineeringeducation today. As these venues for learning have become increasingly feasible and popular,one aspect of engineering education resists the transition online: the laboratory experience. Atraditional engineering teaching laboratory (lab) requires a significant amount of equipment,materials, and personnel in order to operate, and so the experience is therefore restricted to aspecific time and space. To address this, labs have been developed to allow remote access tolocal equipment so that students can conduct experiments through an interface over the internet.While this is a

These types oftools serve four pedagogical affordances: promoting or integrating innovative learningapproaches, motivating student participation, presenting multimedia materials, and enablingstudents’ reflections. The Web 2.0 tools also serve two social affordances: support interaction indifferent scopes and communication in different formats, and two technological affordances: anopen and customizable environment and fast internet access. Two key benefits to theseaffordances are bringing the students to the center of the learning activities and learning process,and exciting and motivating the students to participate and grow.

read real-time data toillustrate or explain concepts (or principles) during classroom session.2.2 Systems modeling and designFrom the perspective of engineering education, the current paper is related to systemsengineering as it creates enabling framework for integrating the different entities (or subsystems)involved in teaching and learning. Such integration will produce better learning experience forthe students (Fig. 1). It is expected that the integration framework presented in this paper willfurther narrow the gap between practical and theoretical knowledge acquisition by engineeringstudents.
