IntroductionGenerative AI (GenAI) has fundamentally altered the educational landscape, bringing bothadvantages and challenges. In engineering education, the rapid adoption of GenAI tools hasfacilitated learning but has also spurred a notable increase in academic dishonesty. In the wake ofthis shift researchers have been quick to examine effects. Chan [1] explored this phenomena andintroduced the concept of “AI-giarism”, describing the misuse of AI tools to bypass traditionalplagiarism detection systems through a qualitative study of over 500 students. Li [2] emphasizesin their work the growing ethical dilemmas stemming from hard to monitor usage of GenAI inassessments, ultimately calling for adaptive educational policies to address this issue. It is clearthat

ABM also allows for a larger scale of students to be studied in a shorter amount oftime as well as preventing any negative ethical ramifications on human subjects. In this paper, we use two different programming languages to apply ABM to qualitative-focused research data to demonstrate the efficacy of ABM in qualitative research.
