The system is modelled in VHDL and simulated using Xilinxdesign tools to demonstrate operation of the processor. A basic microcontroller is created byadding memory-mapped input/output (I/O). The system is implemented in hardware on a fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA). The processor can then be interfaced with peripheral devicesto demonstrate functional applications.A key component of the Computer Architecture course is a student

Qualitativedata on the students’ experiences with the use of ChatGPT as a tool in studying were collectedand analyzed. The results revealed that while students found the capabilities of ChatGPTintriguing, they remained skeptical in the output and reasoning given in regard to their MATLABassignment.1 IntroductionIn November of 2022, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, a natural language processing model, to theworld. Two months later, it gained 100 million users, making it the fastest growing consumer appin history [1]. The name stems from the model’s dependence on the Generative Pre-trainedTransformer (GPT

In this paper, the impact of an internally developed smartphone application called KarmaCollab is evaluated alongside the incorporation of socialized teaching and course gamification. We will look at UC Davis Electrical and Computer Engineering laboratory courses and the impact KarmaCollab had on the online course format. The relationships between course grades, KarmaCollab app engagement, student self-reported sentiment via an end-of-quarter survey, and teaching staff interviews are presented to showcase interesting remote learning insights.

BackgroundIn the latter part of 1995, Old Dominion University's Department of Physics started adopting amore uniform method for teaching undergraduate laboratory courses. Following this change, in1996, the department released the first edition of a comprehensive laboratory manual forundergraduates. This marked a significant shift in the instructional methodology forundergraduate physics at ODU. The development of virtual laboratories is set to enhance thisteaching approach further. With the integration of pre-arranged educational materials, includingvirtual labs, educators will be able to adhere to uniform teaching standards. This uniformity willensure that students receive a consistent and coherent

For example, if a student is learning about loops in lecture, theycould be asked to write a program using loops to generate a multiplication table during the labperiod. Hazzan et al assert this allows students to be engaged in their learning rather than abystander similar to what you might see in laboratories for the natural sciences [2].Prior engineering education research has clearly shown that inductive teaching styles in lecturesand lab sessions show the students the importance and application of the subject matter byshowing the students particular examples while challenging them to keep building concept byconcept to solve complex challenges [3] [4]. These inductive teaching methods typically use ascaffolded

adaptability [1]. In these settings, students frequentlyturn to teaching assistants (TAs) for assistance with lab procedures, equipment setup, andtroubleshooting. This dynamic creates a dependency that, while helpful in the moment, can leadto challenges for both students and TAs. The repetitive nature of these inquiries significantlyburdens TAs, who usually cannot answer everyone’s questions throughout the laboratory classtimes. Furthermore, certain student questions need consistent answers that the lead instructorproves correct. Another challenge is establishing a structured support diagnostic meant to answerstudent problems in a way that guides students to their answers rather than revealing themimmediately. This allows students to engage in
work.Previous Work Practical laboratory experiences including engineering labs and projects represent essentialelements of learning [1], [2]. As part of intensive laboratory experiences, robots have had alongstanding positive impact on education of students at all levels. Small, wheeled, programablemobile robots like LEGO Mindstorm series have been used as motivational tools to attract studentsto STEM fields in general [3], as well as to help students (and teachers) learn how to program [4]- [6]. However, at the practical level of industrial robot programming, the use of industrialmanipulators for teaching programming robotic tasks was often the only option.

a growth in academic integrityfilings since the advent of ChatGPT. In fact, [2] points to a Stanford University survey where1/6th of students said they had used ChatGPT on assignments or exams. This article [2] alsopoints towards the issues of hallucinations, where AI focuses on generating text that sounds goodbut may not be scientifically accurate. However, [1] also points to potential efficiencies andutility of AI in higher education, such as teaching ethical use of AI, growth of tutoring/teachingassistants and for operational efficiencies. Auon [3] discussed the impact of AI on the humanexperience in physical (personalized medicine/drug delivery and disease identification),cognitive (increased workplace productivity, focused effort on
], which introducessome active programming teaching methods. Portela employed four approaches to develop theinstructional plan, namely: BYOD, flipped classroom, gamification, and using the skills ofindividual students to solve posed problems. Tewolde presented a method for improving studentmotivation in a microcontroller-based embedded systems course to enhance students’ role inactive learning [10]. The method consists of three tools, namely: laboratory assignments forpractical hands-on activities, “peer teaching” techniques, and self-proposal, which enablesindividual creativity. For some complex and difficult to understand courses such as programmingalgorithms-related subjects, Garcia et al. [11] proposed a method in the form of
sequential coursework, especially until the senior year. The use of AI to help solve engineering problems as a collaboration tool is being used inengineering classrooms at increased frequency, hence the motivation of this paper to look at theuse of AI in developing professional skills in engineering undergraduate education. Using AI asprompts to help students draft papers or laboratory reports is starting to emerge in undergraduateengineering programs, although using AI to teach or enhance professional skills seems to be anew area of research [5]. One paper found that the typical use and extent of using generative AIin engineering classes based on student surveys [6] and the general impact of AI incommunication skills training has been
thecapability for explaining complex concepts or subjects, creation of code, fixing errors in existingcode, mathematical problem solving, the ideation and planning of laboratory experiences, amongothers [6]. On the other hand, the importance in engineering of creativity, critical thinking, andthe ability to solve complex problems, presents an opportunity to maximize the potential of thistool and explore new ways to use it.Impact on Assignments The emergence of ChatGPT introduces several profound implications for engineeringeducation, reshaping traditional teaching methods and prompting a reevaluation of assessmentstrategies.
