As generative artificial intelligence (AI) automates engineering design, a fundamental reconceptualization of engineering education becomes necessary. This constructive position paper proposes the “vibe-designer”—a new professional paradigm that strategically compresses the traditional middle phase of the engineering curriculum to focus on high-level specification, adversarial...

This position paper explores educational topics, methodological issues, and near-future prospects of learning approaches for next-generation cyber-physical systems (NG-CPSs). It first reviews major epistemic and methodological innovations and discusses a move toward post-disciplinary and transdisciplinary education. NG-CPSs are considered both as objects of education and as enablers of educatio... More >>

Educators have investigated the impact of generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) tools, such as ChatGPT and Large Language Models (LLMs), on curriculum development in K-12 schools. Still, little is known about the development of these tools and their impact on the future of education. Therefore, a teacher educator conducted a duoethnography to investigate these problems with a genAI trainer... More >>

Post-disciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge synthesis facilitates extensive intellectualization, socialization, personalization, and naturalization of next-generation cyber-physical systems (NG-CPSs). However, it makes learning and teaching NG-CPSs more challenging and calls for new educational methods. These challenges arise because (i) conceptual familiarization with these systems must ...

Health sciences, or health professions, education aims to develop students into competent professionals. This responsibility necessitates examination of the training and assessment of these future professionals to improve programs and patient care. However, grading can be fraught with issues, leading to misunderstanding, and grading health professions students comes with its own unique challeng... More >>
