entails, arguably one reason that first-year college engineeringstudents commonly cite math as a key area of struggle. Much like Wendy’s classic “Where’s thebeef?” catchphrase in 1984 (which implored potential customers to reconsider the quantity ofbeef in other restaurants’ burgers), educators might ask a similar question today about thequantity of math in K-12 engineering activities.Initial discussions for this study began when faculty and undergraduates from Ohio NorthernUniversity’s Math Education and Engineering Education programs collaborated on classroomactivities intended to embed math content within hands-on engineering. Upon reflection of theirown experiences, the research team (one math ed. faculty, one math ed. undergraduate

Institutions utilized various technological resources, mentoring, training, and supportfor both engineering students and faculty to ensure continuity and improve the effectiveness ofteaching and learning [2],[13]. Engineering education plays a critical role in preparing students forthe challenges of the modern world. However, the traditional approach to engineering

attention, there is limited peer-reviewed literature related toChatGPT and its impact on engineering education. Searching the Journal of EngineeringEducation archives and ASEE Conference Proceedings through PEER for the term “ChatGPT”or “generative AI” yielded no results. We describe a few notable exceptions below that arerelated to our work. Reference [5] provides examples of how ChatGPT can be used in bothtechnical and creative writing courses and highlights the importance of being able to ask goodquestions (prompts) of large language models. Reference [6] conducted a hypothetical designproject using ChatGPT and discusses the benefits and limitations of using this tool in the designprocess. This article makes an important methodological
