Exploring the Complexities of Generative AI in Engineering Education
Thursday | May 9, 2024 | 11:15 - 12:15
The transformation brought by Generative AI into engineering education has driven educators to rethink and adjust methods of teaching and evaluation, as well as to acquire new skills and adapt to an evolving digital ecosystem. In the context of engineering, where practical problem-solving and innovation are paramount, what competencies will be crucial for educators to impart, and for students to develop? How can Generative AI enhance the creativity and critical thinking of both students and educators or to be included into engineering curriculum? How open education and science practices are changed by GAI? Several experiments which showcase the integration of the use of GAI into project development and assessment on different subjects from coding, electrical engineering, science communication will be presented from both educators and students’ perspectives. Additionally, the talk will critically examine the ethical considerations and security implications of embedding Generative AI tools within the engineering academic framework.
"Influence of Metaverse on Cognitive and Affective Development"
Friday | May 10, 2024 | 10:30 - 11:25
Metaverse has shared, persistent, and de-centralized characteristics, making it different from virtual or augmented reality. The social connection in the metaverse enables its users to conduct activities in a different but relatively authentic world. This presentation reviews the possible behaviours and their related brain processes involved when individuals engage in the metaverse. The review covers the cognitive, emotional, and social aspects. Implications on the benefits and issues of applying metaverse in education will be discussed.
"GSA: Facilitating Intra-Subject Study and Inter-Subject Development with Course Knowledge Graphs"
Saturday | May 11, 2024 | 10:30 - 11:25
Knowledge graphs (KGs) have been actively studied for pedagogical purposes. To depict the rich but latent relations among different concepts in the course textbook, increasing efforts have been proposed to construct course KGs for university students. However, the application of course KGs for real study scenarios and career development remains unexplored and nontrivial. First, it is hard to enable personalized viewing and advising. Within the intricate university curricula, instructors aim to assist students in developing a personalized course selection pathway, which cannot be fulfilled by isolated course KGs…
