artificial intelligence tools?A survey was given to first-year mechanical engineering students at the California PolytechnicState University, San Luis Obispo. The response rate to the anonymous survey was 69%. Theresults reveal that 42% of first-year mechanical engineering students are already using generativeAI tools, with 75% planning to use generative AI tools in the future. The primary usesby students include idea generation, educational support, and writing assistance. While 61%acknowledge AI's potential for facilitating cheating, 70% believe these tools can enhancelearning when used appropriately. The prevailing view among first-year mechanical engineeringstudents is that generative AI, when employed responsibly, can enhance the learning

From a national policy perspective, this need has been clearly recognized. The NationalAeronautics R&D Policy instructs that “executive departments and agencies with responsibilityfor aeronautics-related activities should continue to invest in educational development of thefuture aeronautics workforce…” The NASA Strategy Plan of 2006 references the need forNASA’s own Strategic Management of Human Capital, and in the section on StrategicCommunications: Education Initiatives reinforces NASA’s responsibility to “strengthen NASAand the

Howe et al [4] reported the comprehensive results of a 2015capstone design survey as compared with 1994 and 2005 surveys across all engineering disciplines.They found these capstone courses were largely structured with design projects and classes run inparallel over two semesters, and typically covered a wide range of topics often geared towardprofessional preparations. The top five common topics cited frequently by the 522 respondents at256 institutions contributed to the 2015 survey were: written communications, planning andscheduling, oral communications, concept generation

Critically, the platform will incorporate avirtual AI design mentor that relies on Design Heuristics [8], [9], an empirically-based creativity tool, toguide students through exploration of ideas. The AI mentor will “learn” from students’ design processesto better assist them. This agent will rely both on event-based design process logs (e.g., when a studentadds to a team members’ sketch or revises their problem statement) generated by the system as well as atagging typology informed by researcher analysis for distinguishing more convergent or divergentconcept generation artifacts.In conjunction with the development plan and following a design

Also, the development, implementation, maintenance, andmanagement of technology require sophisticated leadership from the engineering profession.However, as many studies and leaders have concluded, our graduating engineers are not preparedto address the new constraints of collateral impact of technology and the risks posed byunintended consequences. Therefore, engineering educators must now plan for the next step inthe evolution of engineering education to prepare students for the leadership challenge ofdeveloping technology in an organizational and cultural context.

The first categoryof transfer students includes those who pre-plan the transfer before getting admission into a com-munity college [13], [14], [15], [16]. This category often includes students who choose to takegeneral education courses or earn an associate degree at a community college before transferringto a 4-year institution (often because of the lower cost of tuition).

It facilitates students to attend online lectures/webinars and otherlearning resources from any experts (national/international), thus providing learning beyondboundaries.

In itsmost recent revision, EAC/ABET now requires that students must demonstrate “an ability torecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informedjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,environmental, and societal contexts” [6]. This requirement aims to prepare the students for real-life ethical dilemmas. However, the multifaceted, complex nature of this outcome--requiringstudents to consider “global, economic, environmental, and societal” attention with ethicalresponsibilities--means that programs must carefully consider their

The first tech demo helps ensure that studentsorder parts and start assembly (of at least the critical sub-components) of the end product. Onepractical benefit is that delays from out-of-stock parts, inappropriate designs and flawedprocesses are addressed earlier, and thus less likely to delay the project. In addition, new andreplacement parts with long shipping times can often be ordered over winter break, improvingoverall time management.
