AB  - In an Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering program, a tailored curriculum adaptation was introduced to support hearing-impaired students in AME308: Computer-Aided Design (CAD), a course centered on Siemens NX operations. This initiative aimed to ensure equitable access and foster an inclusive learning environment.Traditional class notes proved inadequate due to the course’s dynamic nature, which evolves based on student interactions and inquiries. To address this challenge and rapidly implement an effective solution, AI tools such as ChatGPT were utilized to create lecture content previews. These previews provided students with a preliminary understanding of the material before class, enhancing their comprehension and active engagement during lessons while promoting inclusivity.

The teaching approach focuses on leveraging ChatGPT to create previews of lecture content using subtitles from previous Zoom recordings before lectures begin. ChatGPT serves as a powerful tool for summarizing key content and generating well-organized, logically structured lecture previews. Teaching assistants utilize ChatGPT to draft these previews and carefully review them to ensure alignment with the standard class syllabus and to correct any errors or inaccuracies. The previews are then shared with hearing-impaired students prior to each lecture. Feedback from a hearing-impaired student who took this course highlighted the effectiveness of this method in improving learning outcomes. 

Through the use of tailored AI-generated previews, this work presents an innovative approach to inclusive education, addressing limitations in traditional teaching methods while significantly improving the learning experience for hearing-impaired students. Beyond its immediate impact, it highlights the transformative role of AI in promoting inclusivity within technical education, setting a foundation for more accessible and equitable learning environments.
