, educators can ensure continuous improvement andalignment with desired learning outcomes.Another opportunity lies in collaborative grading frameworks. GenAI tools can work in tandemwith educators to co-create and refine grading rubrics. This approach combines the efficiencyand consistency of AI with the nuanced expertise of human educators, resulting in more effectiveand balanced assessment tools [4], [15].GenAI is also well-suited for real-world applications in education. These tools are particularlyeffective for authentic assessments, which challenge students to apply theoretical knowledge topractical problems [1], [11]. By leveraging GenAI in such contexts, educators can createmeaningful evaluation methods that mirror professional engineering

The “Provide” factor is the initial factor that should change as a result ofprofessional development because these statements relate to teacher-centric behaviors. The“Guide” factor typically develops more slowly because it is related to intentionally changingone’s practices to more student-centered instructional approaches. The final factor, “Connect,”has the teachers incorporating information specifically related to the real world applications andcareers into their units. This last factor does not include EDP and will not be included in thispaper.

It is interesting to note that the percentchange in the interest in a career in math is much higher than that of science. From the data itcan be seen that the students had a much lower interest in math at the start of the program. Bycareful selection of activities, students were able to establish the real-world application of math,resulting in increased interest. In addition, increases in both the consideration of a career inengineering as well as the confidence of a successful career in engineering were statisticallysignificant as well. What is most thought-provoking is that the largest changes were not specificto choice of career, but unveiled
