Faculty are best judges of how, where and if to incorporate GenAI into instruction.

Academic Integrity must still hold.  All work submitted by students to complete an assignment must reflect the student’s own understanding, regardless of GenAI use.

If GenAI is used to complete assignments, students are responsible for its accuracy. Learning to assess the accuracy, relevance and completeness of GenAI outputs is a key learning outcome of GenAI literacy.

If faculty or TAs use GenAI to create or edit course materials, they should model good practice and disclose its use to students. For example, “this question was generated by Copilot and edited by hand.”

AI should support, not replace, learning core engineering competencies. Assignments that allow use of GenAI must engage students deeply with foundational skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and design. The need for these skills will never become irrelevant.
