standardintroductory materials curriculum (diffusion, strengthening mechanisms, eutectic phasediagrams, etc.). Rather, its goal is to teach engineering applications of fundamental chemistryconcepts. This course consists of four basic units: atomic, molecular and supermolecularstructures; synthesis and processing; stability of materials; and biological materials. Each ofthese units consists of topics designed to show how fundamental concepts in chemistry can beapplied to engineering problems. For example, liquid crystal display technology is used to teachthe concept of molecular shape. The course also contains a laboratory section. This paper willdescribe the detailed contents of the course and its relation to the engineering curriculum.1. IntroductionThere is

Chowdhury Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI 499311 Motivation For some areas of science and engineering education it is increasingly important tomove beyond traditional departmental boundaries. Neural networks is one such field,because even though it was developed largely by electrical and computer engineers,its applications are now very widespread. It has become a truly interdisciplinaryarea of study, research, and applications. Neural networks have found applicationsin fields ranging from

find the information in this paper of interest.In order to meet accreditation requirements and the needs and expectations of futureemployers, Engineering and Engineering Technology programs nationwide have addedprojects to a large number of their courses. These projects range in size from weekly labactivities to term projects. The use of projects enables students to learn to work togetherin teams. The nature of a project also allows them to combine their skills and knowledgefrom a variety of areas in order to apply creativity in the design of systems, componentsand processes. Unfortunately, the use of projects also brings with it complexities relatedto the management of these projects.In the work world, cross-functional teams strive to

Changes in the externalenvironment (e.g. reduced funding, increased costs, demands by industry for well-seasonedgraduates, and rapid advances in technology) coupled with the quest for educational relevance inundergraduate engineering, are forcing colleges of engineering in the Region (the Arab GulfStates) to “rethink” engineering education and to undertake constructive steps towards reformingthe
had not heard the class presentations and for some students who had questions afterthe class presentation. One surprising result was that at least two students who had been acceptedinto a Technology school thought that they had been accepted into engineering because the majorwas listed as Mechanical Engineering Technology. Since some of the lower level mathematicsclasses are populated by high school students, it is best to not assume anything about theaudience, even to the point of explaining the difference between an Associate degree and aBachelor’s degree. We were once asked if it was better to get an Associate Degree or aBachelor’s degree.V. Summary and ConclusionsSurveys will be given at the other partner non-metropolitan schools to learn

To ensure they acquire therequisite skills in these six domains, every cadet takes a number of prescribed courses thatconstitute the core curriculum.

When asked “For what purposes do you typically employ ChatGPT most often?”,students expressed a keen interest in using ChatGPT for concept development and writing tasksrather than complex calculations. This suggests a recognition of the tool’s potential usefulness inareas beyond problem-solving, highlighting a future role for ChatGPT in supporting students inwritten aspects of their professional endeavors after completing their engineering studies as shownin Figure 4. Here are the specific remarks provided by students to bolster this concept: Figure 3: Assessment of students' perceptions toward AI-powered technology.“It is not very good at solving most mathematical equations I have seen in my classes, but it is alot better at coming up
