AB  - Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, like ChatGPT, are increasingly being used by engineering students to help write reports submitted for academic credit.  This paper presents a concise overview of findings from a writing assignment in a mechanical engineering thermodynamics course. The assignment requires students to research and summarize findings on a contemporary topic associated with energy and its use. With ChatGPT, improvements are observed in grammar, organization, and conclusions. Areas with little or no improvement are visuals, equations, and references. AI assistance in engineering education is anticipated to continue to expand, especially as AI tools improve and become integrated with other tools already used by students.  It is important for faculty to have a firm understanding of how AI tools are being used by students to write reports. Faculty perspectives differ on how AI assistance can benefit engineering students while avoiding academic dishonesty issues. Faculty will need to communicate the permissible and prohibited usage of AI tools in future assignments.
