Description

Y. Mormul, J. Przybyszewski, T. Siriburanon, J. Healy and P.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

Powerful chatbots, based on intensively-trained large language models, have recently become available for consumer use. The ability of such chatbots to provide credible textual responses to sophisticated engineering problems has been demonstrated in various subfields. This paper seeks to gauge the extent to which such a chatbot can be prompted to complete a set of homework and project exercises for university-level courses in analog, digital, mixed-signal, and signal processing classes. The purpose of this paper is to delineate and clearly articulate the present capabilities of artificial intelligence tools to complete coursework tasks across the field of circuit theory. Building on these research findings, this paper suggests practical ways to mitigate artificial intelligence chatbot tools’ description to academic integrity and genuine learning in universities.

This resource captures key insights from a full-day workshop held on 8 May 2025, hosted by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and led by internationally recognised expert Dr Alison Cook-Sather. The event focused on the transformative potential of authentic student-staff partnerships as a strategic approach to advancing student engagement, success, and institutional effectiveness.

Attended by academic staff, institutional leaders, student success professionals, and sector partners from across Ireland, the workshop featured a combination of keynote presentations, lightning talks, and interactive sessions. Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, participants explored how to build meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable collaboration between students and staff.
