Session Description

Free ticketed event
This hands-on workshop will enable engineering faculty to integrate several AI tools
into their practice in the classroom. Participants will learn about current classroom
implementations by the workshop leaders, explore ethical considerations of its use, and
begin developing custom AI tools for use in their classrooms. This interactive workshop will combine demonstrations, small group activities, and hands-on development time. Participants will get to experience these AI tools from both student and instructor perspectives and be given access to prompts and structures that have been successfully used by the presenters. Participants will then create implementation plans for their own courses.
