The use of artificial intelligence (AI) based applications is increasing across all engineering disciplines. Higher education needs to keep pace with this development to leverage these developments to conduct better research and training and, critically, to ensure that students are prepared to use these tools in their work and for lifelong learning.

In particular, in recent years, the use of generative AI (GAI) driven tools and applications such as ChatGPT, Dall-E, Midjourney, CoPilotand Autodesk, has become popular. GAI a subfield of AI in which deep learning and large language models are used ... (continued)

In this workshop, we will engage attendees in conducting classroom-based flow visualization and measurement experiments using a new Android application (“app”) called mobile-Instructional Particle Image Velocimetry (mI-PIV). Students often view fluid mechanics instruction as mathematically difficult, aesthetically uninteresting, and lacking relevance to real-world applications. Resultantly, introductory courses in fluid mechanics can act as gatekeepers to fluids-related STEM careers paths. When available, however, hands-on flow visualization and measurement activities have been shown to increase ... (continued)

The fast-paced marketplace requires college graduates to learn how to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines. The contemporary global challenges are so complex that no single branch of learning can adequately describe or solve them. However, many higher education courses still progress linearly working with one instructor and the same group of students seeking little information or collaboration outside of class, particularly from individuals from diverse fields. Students trained in this structure are technically competent but lack professional multidisciplinary collaboration skills. For h ... (continued)

This workshop is based on our previous research “‘At the bottom of the food chain’: Constructing our academic identity in engineering education as international graduate students” published in 2022 ASEE annual conference. Funds of identity serve as the theoretical framework to understand international students’ identities from three kinds of resources: socially distributed, culturally developed, and historically accumulated experiences. Our previous and current work provided insights on the struggles of international graduate students from these three aspects. We will invite the workshop particip ... (continued)

We would like to propose a workshop on how instructors can leverage good feedback practices in their classrooms to improve student engagement with the course and course content. This workshop will cover all aspects of a complete feedback loop - both instructional team to students, and students to instructional team - and connect feedback practices within this loop to empirical research on student learning, motivation, and engagement. Our proposed workshop activities consist of three modules, following a similar structure: activities focused on providing feedback from the instructional team to stu ... (continued)
