. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Using AI Chatbots to Produce Engineering Spreadsheets in an Advanced Structural Steel Design CourseAbstractEngineers have historically embraced the use of technology to increase efficiency, reduce errors incalculations, and produce high quality projects on a shorter timeline. The Excel spreadsheet is aprime example of how engineers embraced technology for those reasons. Excel has been a staple inproducing an immeasurable number of engineering calculations. However, humans have alwaysbeen responsible for spreadsheet development and, unfortunately, humans will inherently produceerrors within spreadsheets. But what if an engineer can reduce the number of errors and produce

Eight skills (Tab. 2; -HW) were developed to motivate the students to regularly watch the lectures, attend class, andcomplete homework assignments.

The investment is further leveraged by using the components in multiplecourses throughout the curriculum and allowing students to maintain possession of thecomponents for independent learning and capstone projects. Integrating the componentsacross multiple courses also simplifies managing replacement parts, if desired. Judiciousselection of components and projects can also

Duringthe design process, the student had to determine the free body diagrams of the designs and makeappropriate material selections for the structure; moreover, the student had to learn thefundamentals of selecting the right sensors (e.g., load cell) for the application, based on thespecifications, availability, and cost.

The modules focused on how to act and how to respond to promote psychological safety on design projects. Each module was tailored to a different phase of the design process. The themes of the three modules are (1) treating every idea as having potential to contribute to a positive outcome, (2) questioning an idea to obtain valuable insight, and (3) applying the brake to improve a decision. To explore the impact of the modules, we deployed a post-course survey to measure students’ perceptions of psychological safety on their project teams.
