A recent study alsofound that ICPs improved students self-awareness and open mindedness [2]. However, despitetheir potential benefits, ICPs are often accompanied by significant barriers that may hinder thebroad participation of all student groups, especially underrepresented students in STEM.Addressing these barriers is crucial for creating inclusive and effective learning environmentsthat address the

It is important to carefully consider the ethical implications of using AI-generated content, particularly in academic and professional settings, where the boundarybetween AI assistance and plagiarism could become less clear. Additionally, the potential misuseof personal information and data security concerns related to AI writing tools should bethoroughly examined. It's worth noting that AI tools may encounter challenges in understandingcomplex contexts, cultural references, and emotional subtleties, potentially leading tomisinterpretations in the generated content.The ”AI Writing Tools” used for the analysis are listed in Table 1

Mechanical anisotropy of 3D-printed structuresAdditive manufacturing allows for the fabrication of complex shapes by depositing materiallayer by layer, a method fundamentally different from subtractive or formative manufacturing.This layered construction introduces unique challenges for mainstream applications. One of themost critical challenges is the presence of anisotropic material properties in 3D printed parts [1].Unlike conventionally manufactured homogeneous materials where the structure and propertiesare generally isotropic, 3D printed objects are known to be mechanically weak at the

Students can use MasterCAM to compute these values. Thisassessment method quantifies the accuracy of student drawings and ensures they understandthe importance of the origin in their CAD models. This method is very accurate and is also utilizedin CAD certification programs such as SOLIDWORKS CAD Design Associate (CSWA) [7

This transition to online course development andteaching without adequate training brought challenges to instructors as well as students (1 – 5).Much of the focus during Covid-19 was to convert in-person lectures to online zoom format(synchronous), since it was much faster to adopt. However, there were many instances, such asfor laboratory classes, zoom format was inadequate. In such situations, the courses were offeredin a hybrid format with limited in-person laboratory sessions.
