The series intended to answer the question, “How do I get the best possibleresults for my life goals from this graduate program?”With faculty and industry engagement, we identified specific learning outcomes for theleadership series, critical features for the process and expected outcomes for each of the courses.We used a set of critical design assumptions as our guide for development. These assumptionswere based on adult learning theory as well as motivational theory. Furthermore, we

The goal is to intrinsically motivatestudents, but we know from our own experience and from research studies that most situationsinvolve a mixture of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors. As a clear example, considerhow many students would submit a design report documenting their work if it was not beinggraded and the only motivation to do so was to get experience writing and to get formativefeedback from the instructor to improve their writing skills. The book chapter Motivation toLearn in College Science14 details various factors that influence college student motivation andlists some practical suggestions for increasing it, including showing relevance of activities

Finally, we conclude with recommendations for responsible AI integration and suggestareas for future research, particularly longitudinal studies examining AI's impact on educational outcomesover time and across diverse learning populations.

This paper explores the impact of AI tools on student learning in engineering education, particularly in civil engineering. AI tools offer numerous benefits in engineering education, providing students with interactive and immersive learning experiences. These tools enable students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding and problem-solving skills.
