Faculty Perspectives on Teaching with AI: Lessons from a Pilot Course
Friday May 9, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am EDT
As artificial intelligence tools rapidly evolve, instructors are seeking meaningful ways to adapt their teaching practices while preserving academic integrity and learning outcomes. In this session, a panel of faculty participants from the inaugural Integrating AI and Instruction course will share their experiences exploring the pedagogical and ethical dimensions of generative AI in higher education.  These faculty members were the first to complete the course, which guided them through the process of understanding AI capabilities, evaluating its implications for learning, and redesigning assignments to align with the realities of AI-enhanced academic work. Attendees will see real examples of redesigned assignments and hear reflections on how the course influenced instructional choices, assessment strategies, and student engagement.

AI as a Design Partner: Enhancing Online Course Development
Friday May 9, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am EDT
The rise of generative AI in higher education presents both challenges and opportunities. While concerns about academic integrity often dominate discussions, AI can also serve as a valuable design support tool for course development. This session explores how to responsibly integrate AI into online course design to enhance curriculum structure, generate instructional content, and develop assessments. Drawing from my experience designing an asynchronous, online workplace assessment course with AI, I will demonstrate practical applications such as creating discussion prompts, quizzes, case studies, and interactive activities. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for leveraging AI while maintaining pedagogical quality and oversight.

Generative AI Cyber Infrastructure for Construction Education
Friday May 9, 2025 10:40am - 11:30am EDT
The MTU team’s ongoing NSF CyberTraining project addresses the construction industry’s low digitalization level and long-standing challenges, such as low productivity, ineffective collaboration, and a lack of digital skills. Broadening the adoption of digital technologies and cyber-infrastructures (CI) is essential for the industry’s future success. Building Information Modeling (BIM), a key CI, enables the creation of digital representations of facilities’ physical and functional characteristics. This pilot project aims to develop a cognitive and generative AI-driven CI training platform by integrating advanced BIM skills into undergraduate construction programs. The knowledge gained will establish a foundation for understanding how generative AI can support intelligent tutoring in engineering education, including construction, civil, and electrical engineering. This initiative could help address the nation’s labor shortage by equipping future professionals with essential digital skills, ultimately revolutionizing construction operations and workforce development.

Enhancing Teaching and Learning with Prompt Engineering
Friday May 9, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm EDT
In today’s fast-paced educational environment, prompt engineering is an essential tool for modern classrooms. Join us for a fun session where you’ll discover how to create prompts that inspire student success! Participants will create and refine prompts to develop curricular materials and activities, find resources, engage in simulated conversations with experts, provide meaningful feedback, and assess student progress. We’ll provide strategies and examples to illustrate how prompt engineering can enhance teaching and learning. This presentation is ideal for educators at all levels, equipping you with practical techniques to integrate AI prompts into your teaching and foster critical thinking skills.

Using AI to Code Learning Aids
Friday May 9, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm EDT
This talk explores how professors—regardless of programming experience—can leverage AI to create custom educational tools. Through an interactive case study, we’ll demonstrate an iterative collaboration with AI, refining an idea from concept to functional tool. Attendees will learn practical strategies for prompting AI effectively, debugging AI-generated code, and incorporating domain-specific knowledge into AI-assisted development. By embracing this process, educators can enhance student engagement, automate tasks, and create tailored learning experiences without extensive coding expertise. This session aims to empower professors to co-create with AI, transforming innovative teaching ideas into functional, real-world applications
