The evolution from GPT from version 3.0, to3.5, to 4.0, which involves a significant improvement in language processing capabilities andscope of knowledge resulting in more nuanced context-awareness, including text and imageprompts, will also be considered in this study. By drawing from student assignment samples,class discussions, and user feedback, a comprehensive overview of the challenges, benefits, andthe pedagogical implications of ChatGPT in this first-year course will also be discussed.

While theliterature suggests that better classroom organization is effective in reaching students, educatorsmust also realize that many different learning styles and preferences are represented by thestudents in our classes. Centering the class on an advanced technology or a theme, such as aplant trip or life cycle assessment, can help us better reach the students. However, sometimes thelittle things—getting to know the students, providing time for interaction or engaging

The professor of the course teachessimulation by having
views are correct, they are also, as of morerecently, incomplete. With the changing of modern business practices, employers are saying thattheir engineers must also be – now more than ever – confident public speakers and leaders. Thewidespread change in employers’ views resonated deeply into the engineering educationcommunity, even shaping the criteria for ABET accreditation. Following these changes,engineering universities have experimented with developing the public speaking and leadershipskills of their students in a variety of ways – some successful, while others not as fruitful.Although well-intentioned, many of these experiments get implemented without a thoroughevaluation on their helpfulness to students. Until the approaches of these

paper describes a study of three design interventions anda survey conducted of first-year engineering students at New York University to understand theimpact on their design self-efficacy. The research question addressed in this study is whetherthere is an impact of documenting the design thinking process, the engineering design process,and project communication on students’ level of self-efficacy to solve engineering designproblems. And if so, to what extent did students find value in using the documentation activitiesfor enhancing their engineering design capabilities? The aim of this study is to identify the beststrategies for improving first-year students’ design skills that will help them succeed in futuredesign projects. Many tools have

This process includes an entire steel buildingdesign, from building code research through preliminary and final design of a steel structure toproduction of construction documents for the project.Historically this course has centered around a steel building design project in which studentteams where responsible for the design and documentation of the steel structure. Based on thatcourse model, problems became apparent in subsequent structural design courses and in thecomprehensive design studio. These problems included the fact that a large percentage of thestudents were not aware of the structural design process necessary to complete a buildingdesign. A
