Notethat the exams of the two sections originated from two distinct versions, and therefore the examthat each section received was sufficiently different to avoid issues with academic integrity. Foreach question, the holistic design resulted in a comparison group for the building-block design.For the purpose of this study, correctness grading was then also applied to the building-blockdesign. This approach is the core of our proposed methodology. An AI-assisted grader was usedto facilitate the correctness-based grading methodology. Specifically, exams were uploaded intoGradescope [19]. Its built-in AI was used to read the handwritten answers from the answer boxesand automatically classify them in groups. These groups were

to the factthat the course is a requirement for graduation, roughly 120 students enroll in the course everysemester, 88% of which are male and 12% female. In an effort to reinforce the lectures using hands-on experiences, a lab also accompanies the lectures. In the labs the students are provided with designproblems that require they use material learned in lecture, such as Decision Matrices, Gantt Charts,and a variety of other tools. An integral part of design is understanding the manufacturing process.Therefore, the design course devotes a few lectures to show videos on the different manufacturingoptions. Following the goals of providing hands-on experiences, one lab is set aside to practicemachining. The project chosen is the Purdue Hammer

The goals of this course are to gain an overallunderstanding of the mechanical design process, and to

Phase I – Autumn Quarter – Feasibility/Conceptual Planning Phase (CEE 504, 2credit hours). The Autumn quarter introduces the class to the concept of an “integrated,” orinterdisciplinary, type project which is representative of the real world. The principal goal ofthis phase is to develop and hone skills related to oral and written communication of technicalideas, working together productively in teams, encountering and addressing problems andsituations that sometimes are “out of the box,” group organization, project management,synthesizing existing technical information, and independent

Surveys, interviews, and lesson plan documents were utilized toanalyze the phenomenon from three perspectives in the form of an instrumental collective casestudy.

And that effectively guides the philosophicalframeworks or curriculum approaches that prepares engineering and engineering technologystudents at all levels for the execution of integrative functions that are particular to therequirements of industrial practice and systems operations and management. Constructivistlearning approach can be crucial in the enablement of sitting professionals making the jump tothe leading edge of the practice-focused engineering that requires massive constructedintellectual fusion.

traditions, folklore, and historical narratives. For instance,an AI-driven platform could transcribe and translate indigenous stories into written form. Long-term ethical education can also serve as a perennial concept. Rather than a one-time ethicsworkshop, integrate ongoing ethics education into AI courses. For instance, students could explorecase studies related to indigenous knowledge and AI.Furthermore, collaboration should be achieved with local communities, linguists, and educators toensure that AI systems are culturally sensitive. Regularly update algorithms to reflect evolvingcultural norms. Moreover, AI tools that facilitate the documentation and dissemination ofindigenous knowledge should be developed. In addition, involving community
