To evaluate this, a large sample of multiple-choice questions from undergraduateaerodynamics and aeronautics courses were input into ChatGPT-4 and Gemini and the accuracyevaluated. The cognitive level of each question was coded using Bloom’s taxonomy based onconsensus of the authors. It was found that that generative AI performs increasingly poorly as
) classes, they are taught from the perspective of developingand executing algorithms, and there are no classes to teach the actual building of a computingcluster. This is another prime example of our need to learn outside the classroom to accomplishour goals. As most students do, we turned to Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ChatGPT [6] for help – tobe used as an interpreter or editor rather than a coder.Following a tutorial from a website [10], I learned the basics of setting up a multiple-node clusteron Ubuntu. I checked that each PC had adequate RAM, a hard drive, and a simple graphics card.The cluster hardware consists of 20 desktops, each with an Intel i7-4790 quad-core 3.60 GHzprocessor and 16GB of RAM, running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS connected to a
