Session Description

Over the last 15 years as an engineering educator and supporting others in their teaching, I have learned three important lessons: 1.) Students want authenticity from their teachers, 2.) Learning should be student, not content, centered with students as co-creators of their learning, and 3.) Small things have a big impact in your classroom. These lessons were the foundation on which I began to reflect on what power I have as an agent of change towards equity and inclusion in the spaces I inhabit.

Session Description

Generative AI is reshaping the classroom. Learn how educators can use generative AI to support teaching, learning, and responsible adoption. MATLAB Copilot and Simulink Copilot can help instructors and students ask questions, generate and refine MATLAB code, explain code and errors, and accelerate common workflows such as plotting, commenting, and test creation within the MATLAB environment.

These capabilities can support course design and delivery by helping educators create examples, adapt materials, and provide more interactive learning experiences while saving time on routine tasks. Equally ... (continued)
