Additional issues were observed ifthe size, emphasis, or color of the font changed within a given bibliography. Figure 1 shows anexample of a bibliography that GPT4’s vision capabilities found particularly challenging toparse. In the cases where the AI was not performing well, additional measures were taken toimprove performance including telling it the number of citations it should find within thebibliography, positive reinforcement, and breaking the bibliography down into multiple parts.

The next section addresses the concept of curriculum alignment andhow impromptu design problems can resolve the significant curricular gap in traditionalengineering programs.2. Design education and curriculum theoryThe concept of curriculum alignment provides a sound rationale for integrating design across thecurriculum. The idea that curriculum, instruction, and assessment should be conceived as partsof a cohesive whole (or system) forms the core principle of curriculum alignment. Each of thesethree component parts – curriculum, instruction, and assessment – must be viewed relative to theothers if curriculum alignment is to take place. In this

Ninety percent of the state‟s energy is imported. Energy sustainability for this remoteisland chain will require reducing our reliance on imported fossil fuels and a significant increasein reliance on renewable energy sources in the islands such as wind, solar, geothermal, and waveenergy.

EngineeringAppropriate Engineering is a holistic approach to engineering design that incorporates social,political, cultural, environmental, economic and human empowerment issues as central, alongwith technical considerations, to the process. For example, many rural inhabitants in much ofAfrica have low incomes and cannot afford to buy batteries for their portable radios. However,hand-cranked radios, which use a mainspring to drive a little dynamo, are highly functional anddesired because of their low cost. These radios allow a small village to “zip back into theInformation Age with a twist of the wrist.”9Many Appropriate Engineering principles have evolved from the work of British economist E. F.Schumacher in the late 1960's and early 1970's on what he called

In addition, the first session introduced thestudents to the Internet. Although successive sessions did not need this mini-module, theresearch component of the session was retained. The students were asked to group themselvesin teams of not more than four students (preferably not from the same high school). Then overthe next three weeks of the camp, each group was to submit their “surfing the net” scavengerhunt findings. The scavenger hunt consisted of 20 trivial questions about engineering andengineering management. D i s t r i b u

Since the early 1970’s, this PBL approach has been successful inmedical education at many institutions. There are very few engineering programs that have fullyimplemented a similar model. Are we hampered from adopting more PBL teaching models inEngineering programs because of our fundamental conceptual model of what is an engineeringeducation, and, ultimately, what is an engineer? The System ParadigmWithin the existing structure at most engineering schools, students recognize that each coursecarries equal weight towards their degree, and each course gives them an independent grade thatis equal in value towards their degree and for
