The author has found that it is important to give students as much creative license aspossible while challenging them with design projects. The more pride that students can take intheir own unique solutions, the more invested and dedicated they tend to become to completingthe project. The motivation that most students find in trying to show off in front of their peers farexceeds the motivation derived from simply threatening to give them a poor grade on theassignment if they do

These skills were originally introduced in capstone design courses.Some skills are now introduced in a sophomore level engineering design course and a freshmancourse. This paper introduces the issues and our approaches.1.

However, AI may be most effective in fields where students arerequired to complete more ill-defined tasks such as writing lab reports or creative writing [1],[8]. Similarly, AI has been used in marketing and other business fields for content creation, salesoptimization, and for customer service chatbots [12-13]. In science education, the use of AI hasbeen shown to can boost students’ motivation and participation in learning exercises, but it haslimitations regarding complex subjects, and can

The goal of E-SPIN is to surface students’ navigational tendencies to help them learnabout themselves and provide a basis for practitioners to offer personalized support.E-SPIN scenarios span six domains: academic performance, faculty staff interactions,professional development, extracurricular involvement, peer group interactions, and specialcircumstances.

According to the model, there are several interacting systems within mentoring in STEM[13]. Microsystems provide the most direct person-to-person encounters and for graduate students,these interpersonal or intragroup interactions can include peers, faculty, staff, and family.Mesosystems include the intergroup interactions between microsystems such as departments,colleges, or schools that serve to support or create conflict with each entity.

More maturity, a greater independence of thought and action, and awell-developed sense of responsibility have all been noted in professional practice studentsrelative to their non-participating peers [32].
